Walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews – nuts can be part of a healthy and climate-friendly diet. But despite their low carbon footprint, they have been criticised for their impact on the environment and social responsibility – in many cases, rightly so.
Growing coffee is hard work. But if you do it right, not only can you produce a delicious energy booster – you can also help the environment.
Following a successful test phase in 2023, we're now sourcing avocados from Kenya. The East African country came into consideration due to concerns about water.
In 2022, date production in Tunisia went through a major crisis. The reasons were complex, ranging from climate change to panicked farmers using pesticides. But there is a happy ending for nature.
Agroforestry has been a key development in sustainable and organic agriculture for some time. But it's still much further along in theory than in practice. This is why our Greek partner Anyfion is cultivating a test and demonstration field. We took a closer look at the field in October 2022.
Each year, millions of tonnes of food in Europe are thrown away. As consumers, we are responsible for a large part of this waste.
Those who care about the environment usually strive to eat seasonal fruits and vegetables, grown outdoors and harvested when ripe. But when is that exactly, and how big of an impact does transport have? A closer look reveals unexpected answers.
