Climate change is here, food is being weaponised, the prices of fertilisers skyrocketed, we have seen supply chain disruption on a scale we have never seen before.
We need new solutions for challenges of this scale.

Today is the start of the EU #AgriResearch Conference 2023, a great occasion to meet with the research and innovation community, including some of our close partners over the years.
Congrats to @RogierSchulte from @WUR for an inspiring and human-powered introductory statement! – at Brussels, Belgium

Big thank to @RogierSchulte for putting the new generation of farmers at the center of such an inspirational speech!
It’s about enabling a generation facing “uncertainties”, one “who wants to farm sustainably & doesn’t need to be told why but rather how”

A shout out for Aisha & Lukas who set off on their bikes a year ago, in search of what regenerative farms actually look like on the ground in Europe and Africa. Follow their incredible journey from 🇳🇱 to 🇺🇬 and beyond... 👇
Watch out for @CycleToFarms in @fselighthouse soon!
Celebrating 1 YEAR on the road in #Uganda!🥳
It's been an incredible journey and we've learned so much. We're excited to share our new blog post about our learnings through Cycle to Farms.

*WE ARE HIRING A POSTDOC* Do you want to investigate how to foster a transition to more sustainable food systems? How could positive outliers in farm and food systems (Bright spots, lighthouses) foster a food system transformation? @ElenaBennett @fselighthouse @laurap18 @UBishops

Do you want to study how soil biota can contribute to multifunctionality and soil health? Then check out this PhD, working with the Soil Biology Group at Wageningen University and FiBl. This PhD is part of a large EU project (BENCHMARKS) on soil health wur.nl/en/vacancy/phd-unders…

Warm congratulations to our new doctor Dr Kari Koppelmaki, who succesfully defended his joint @WUR @helsinkiuni thesis yesterday on our 🇫🇮Lighthouse Farm:
"Nested Circularity - Localized Food in a Globalized World"
What does that mean?

In his dissertation, Kari Koppelmäki has researched a food production model based on local resources, according to the circular economy.
Agroecological symbioses are the basis of a sustainable, circular economy food system. @fselighthouse luomuinstituutti.fi/vaitos-a… – at Hyvinkää, Suomi
