How we feel about nature affects the gardening choices we make and how much those choices benefit pollinators. A new study from Lund University highlights this connection, particularly in the context of widespread urbanisation, which is reducing both green spaces and people’s contact with nature. The researchers also show that for pollinators in cities, gardens with plantings kept over many years

By analysing over 100,000 field measurements as well as environmental data, an international research team has created maps that show how and when naturally regrowing forests bind most carbon. To fulfil climate goals and avoid the most serious consequences of global heating, we need to both reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and remove carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere. Naturally

Out of 283 districts in Europe, only two collective regions perform well in both social and environmental sustainability. This is concerning as it suggests that the EU farm subsidy scheme, the Common Agricultural Policy, is failing to deliver on its aim to protect rural livelihoods, landscapes and the environment. – Currently, public money in the EU is paying for bad performance.
