Prospects for the bioeconomy in achieving a Just Transition: perspectives from Irish beef farmers on future pathways
Many beef farm systems in Irish and some global contexts have economic and environmental traits that threaten their future sustainability. In this context, the concept of Just Transition...
Towards effective national and international governance for a sustainable bioeconomy: A global expert perspective
In an ideal scenario, the bioeconomy creates technology-based opportunities that promote economic growth and social progress while decoupling these development goals from increasing resource consumption and greenhouse...
Climate change, deforestation and other human threats are driving the Amazon towards the limits of survival. Researchers are racing to chart its future.
We analyse whether global value chains (GVCs) reduce trade barriers in the agricultural and food sectors as they affect lobbying and government incentives. Political economy...
Climate variability and simultaneous breadbasket yield shocks as observed in long-term yield records
That climate variability and change can potentially force multiple simultaneous breadbasket crop yield shocks has been established. But research quantifying the mechanisms behind such...
In this report, WRI researchers explore how rising demand for food, wood and shelter is squeezing land that’s needed for storing carbon and protecting biodiversity. This research uses...
As the focus of climate policy shifts from pledges to implementation, there is a growing need to track progress on climate change mitigation at the country level, particularly for the land-use sector. Despite...
Despite efforts to promote sustainable agriculture, food and agricultural production remain the main driver of global biodiversity loss. However, where food production conflicts with biodiversity...
With the global meat market growing and intensive livestock farming systems increasing, the impacts of livestock are a growing concern among consumers, further influencing their meat...
