We designed, almost by accident, a #PlanetaryPlatePuzzle, that supports deliberation on eco-culturally sufficient diets. The serious game was designed for research, but fostered reasoned dialogue among citizens so well, that we wanted to publish it as an open source for further use and development 👇

Ruoka | Tutkijan mukaan Suomessa nauta voi olla usein parempi valinta kuin broileri
Broilerintuotanto on vähiten yhteydessä kotitilan peltoihin. ”Kaikkein teollisin tuotantomuoto”, tutkija sanoo. Hänen mukaansa Suomessa nauta voi olla jopa parempi valinta luonnon kannalta.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.
