April 2026: Two publications in the Global Food Journal
Our group was involved in the publication of two recent articles in the Global Food Journal, the magazine of the relief organisation World Hunger Relief (Welthungerhilfe).
The first article was co-authored by Tom Kopp and Markus Nabernegg and draws the relation between religious beliefs and the consumption of meat products which is - in some instances - associated with detrimental climate and health concerns. In other contexts, however, meat can serve as important source of calories and micro nutrients and plays a crucial role in food security.

The second article was led by Stéphanie Dompatail and co-authored by Tom Kopp and presents three case studies which describe how established gender norms have prevented women farmers from taking responsibility in food production. One of the cases displays how agroecological farming practices allowed an initiative of female farmers to emancipate themselves and improve food security.

Both articles are available in English and German language.
