GLP land system science experts published our 8️⃣ policy principles for sustainable & just land systems.

Following these principles from agenda setting to formulation to implementation can help improve land policy.

Global deforestation hasn’t slowed in any significant way in the four years since 127 countries pledged to halt and reverse forest loss and degradation by 2030.

The newly published 2025 Forest Declaration Assessment shows that nations are 63% off track from meeting their zero-deforestation target.

Asuper interesting read on #Russia’s grain “diplomacy” in sub-saharan Africa
Russia is exporting more and more grain to African states. Yet, food security in many of these countries is deteriorating.
In the new #ZOiS_Spotlight, agricultural economist Pavlo Martyshev explains how Russia is advancing its own geopolitical interests by trading with autocratic governments.

Scientists overwhelmingly recognize the value of sharing null results, but rarely publish them in the research literature

Researchers value null results, but struggle to publish them
Survey finds that fear of reputational harm and a lack of support and publication platforms are among respondents’ key concerns.

Zia Mehrabi is part of the Global Land Programme and works at the University of Colorado Boulder.

His research published in @science.org found that farms using multiple diversification strategies—like soil care, crop variety & water conservation—achieve the best results for people and nature.

The researchers contacted the authors of the original studies -- 156 of them.

And you know how many were willing to share data?

14% of them.

If we're going to address replication issues, it has to start with sharing data.
