We had great scientific time at EGU26

Vienna (Austria), 3rd-8th May 2026

The EGU General Assembly 2026 is one of the biggest gatherings of geoscientists on the planet, and we couldn't be more excited to be part of it. From land-atmosphere interactions to virtual water trade and enhanced weathering, our team brought contributions to five section during the week and had chance to discuss research ideas with old and new friends!

New paper out on dietary transition!

Environmental Research: Food Systems, 12 February 2026

Countries with rising incomes typically undergo a nutrition transition, marked by increasing consumption of animal-sourced foods and declining intakes of cereals and other plant-based products. However, large-scale, data-driven assessments of how diets worldwide align with this transition remain scarce. Here, we analyse dietary regimes in 188 countries, from 1970 to 2021, covering 370 food products, and identify a nutrition transition occurring at the global scale. On average, every tenfold increase in a country’s per capita gross domestic product corresponds to a 13% rise in the dietary share of calories supplied by animal products and to a 15% decline in the share supplied by cereals. Nonetheless, in several high-income countries, such as Canada, Finland, Norway, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the UK, the dietary composition diverges from global trends, exhibiting declining caloric shares from animal-sourced foods alongside rising contributions from cereals and plant-based products.
