The good news? 🌱 Change is possible + already happening.

By supporting local farmers & rethinking how we eat, we can grow resilience & #climate justice. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being aware and choosing better when we can. Which solution inspires you most? #climatesky

An article on @yanetacosta.bsky.social and her research on recipe and women from the Canary Islands. Fascinating insights about daily life in the islands and ingredients. Looking forward to her contribution during our Relish methodology workshop at UNISG in the fall #relish #recipes #canaryislands

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵

First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

A set of eight rectangular cookies arranged on a square white plate against a dark wooden background. Each cookie is inspired by a wallpaper design by Morris & Co. The patterns represented feature different floral and leaf shapes in shades of baby blue, soft pink, leafy green, mustard yellow, cream, and dark grey.

Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝

Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive.

Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

Split-image with the text “TO BEE or NOT TO BEE.” The left side shows a vibrant wildflower meadow with a bee on a daisy, symbolising biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem. The right side shows a dry, barren landscape with dead trees and no visible wildlife, representing environmental degradation. An EU flag appears in the bottom right corner.
