We designed, almost by accident, a #PlanetaryPlatePuzzle, that supports deliberation on eco-culturally sufficient diets. The serious game was designed for research, but fostered reasoned dialogue among citizens so well, that we wanted to publish it as an open source for further use and development 👇

Kun rakennamme tulevaisuuden kestäviä ruokajärjestelmiä, on tärkeää katsoa rohkeasti eteenpäin. Nuorille tulevaisuuteen liittyvät toiveet ja huolet ovat konkreettisia tämän päivän kysymyksiä. Heitä kannattaa kuulla strategisia linjauksia tehdessä!

Suomalaiset syövät yhä enemmän broileria. Se ei ole ympäristön näkökulmasta pelkästään hyvä asia, saatikka huoltovarmuuden. #KariKoppelmäki nostaa tärkeitä seikkoja esiin broilerintuotannosta.

Ruoka | Tutkijan mukaan Suomessa nauta voi olla usein parempi valinta kuin broileri
Broilerintuotanto on vähiten yhteydessä kotitilan peltoihin. ”Kaikkein teollisin tuotantomuoto”, tutkija sanoo. Hänen mukaansa Suomessa nauta voi olla jopa parempi valinta luonnon kannalta.

In 1989 the #BalticWay showed its power and support to freedom and independence. Now it is the time for the Europeans to stand hand-in-hand.

Now in 2025 when we finalized this publication, future food images visioned by youth in 2021 appear ever more topical.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

I had a possibility to visit a CEM agro-ecological urban farm in Rio in early Oct. The CEM is a powerfull reminder of how social and environmental justice align for more sustainable futures.
We have a lot to learn from this appoach, and the devoted people! Read more from our blog.

Tämä on järkyttävän hieno, tärkeä kirja. Oma pappani pakeni myös #inkeri'stä vallankumouksen alta. Hänen sisarusten ja muiden sukulaisten kohtaloista en tiedä mitään. Se on järkyttävää.
