❓⚠️ How will the EU's food safety regulation impact cacao and chocolate value chains? 🍫 Restrictions due to health risks require analysis of soil nickel and cacao processing for producers' compliance. 👩‍🌾💰Discover this brief by our Clima-LoCa project.👇 cgspace.cgiar.org/items/cf4af9...

Another paper led by Guusje Koorneef. This chronosequence study in the Netherlands shows that organic farming increases total and labile soil org. C in clay soils, but not in sandy soils. Intrinsic soil properties (iron oxides) influence response to management. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hot off the Science press - soil multifunctionality under both organic and conventional farming is enhanced by less intensive management. With colleagues at @niooknaw.bsky.social and @soilsclusterwur.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

With all the attention for soil C sequestration as a C removal strategy the role of N, which is closely linked as a key component of soil organic matter, is mostly overlooked. Great paper and very nice visuals!

Recent advances in #soilscience all point toward potential for internal soil nitrogen cycling to meet a much greater proportion of crop N needs than currently thought! 🌾🦠🤎 🧑‍🌾🧪 New commentary with @stuartsoil.bsky.social, @remicardinael.bsky.social, and others: doi.org/10.1016/j.on...

With #climaloca we contributed to this study on living income of cacao farmers in Andean S-America. Results highlight strategies to support smallholder producers, leveraging the current period of high cacao prices. Thanks to Andres Charry for leading this! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
