    Objective: The ‘Food Insecurity among European University Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic’ (FINESCOP) study investigates food insecurity (FI) and factors associated with FI among university students in nine European countries. Design: A cross-sectional, web-based survey design was employed. The Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) was used for standardised assessment of FI across the study sites. Setting: The study was conducted at nine universities in different European countries. Participants: A total of 3250 cases were included in the joint analysis, with FI assessed using the standardised FAO-developed FIES. Results: The findings reveal considerable regional disparities in FI, with moderate or severe FI (FImod + sev) prevalence rates ranging from 3·1 % at an Italian university to 32·1 % at Ege University in Türkiye. Seven out of nine universities had FImod + sev prevalence rates above 10 %, exceeding the European 3-year average (2021–2023) of 7·8 %, with rates in most universities surpassing their respective national populations. Logistic regression analysis controlling for country-level fixed effects highlighted factors associated with higher odds of FI, including being born outside Europe, lower parental education, reliance on student loans and receiving food assistance. Conclusions: While the FIES provides standardised assessments across diverse contexts, the survey’s timing during the COVID-19 pandemic may limit the findings’ generalisability to non-pandemic periods. Future research should adopt longitudinal designs and refine the FIES to enhance its applicability in diverse settings. This study emphasises that university students in Europe have unique vulnerabilities to FI, which must be recognised to create effective interventions and further research into its structural causes.
  • Do shrubs destroy or build peat soil carbon pools?

    Dwarf shrubs naturally form dense growths in some peatland types, but their presence is increasing and spreading across the Northern Hemisphere due to climate change. Their role as ecosystem engineers – particularly through their symbiotic ericoid mycorrhizal fungi – has been explicitly recognized in peatland ecology only recently. However, whether they build or destroy peat carbon pools remains debated, with contrasting evidence suggesting that shrubs may enhance either the decomposition or stabilization of peat carbon pools. Regardless of whether shrubs are “bad” or “good” for peat carbon storage, the mechanisms through which they influence peat carbon pools remain the same. Shrubs modify soil carbon and nutrient cycling via inputs of above- and belowground litter, leachates, root exudates, and the plant-soil interactions mediated by their fungal partners. We postulate that the shrub effect on peatland carbon pools depends on the shrub species and/or the environment they grow in. In this perspective, we identify key knowledge gaps related to shrub effects and emphasize the need to better account for variation in shrub functional traits and environmental context. Understanding how shrubs shape their peaty environment is basic knowledge that is, unfortunately, lacking, despite being essential for predicting how shrubs shape peatland carbon dynamics under the ongoing climate change.
  • Farm decision making across contexts - from micro to macro perspectives

    Farm typologies, such as those employed by the European Commission, are commonly used to guide farm operations toward desired outcomes. While these typologies are valuable tools for assessing the economic performance of farms and informing policy development, those based solely on economic criteria may fall short in explaining why farms with similar structures and economic conditions make significantly different strategic decisions. Moreover, attempts to identify reproducible behavioural patterns among farmers encounter the challenge of a highly heterogeneous population, where behaviours and objectives are profoundly shaped by diverse geographical, ecological, social, cultural, and institutional contexts, as well as temporal and territorial factors. Addressing this complexity necessitates moving beyond static typologies and categories. This paradigm shift is crucial for uncovering the dynamic processes of change, which encompass micro-level factors (such as individual, family, and farm dynamics), meso-level influences (including social, cultural, and ecological environments), and macro-level determinants (such as policies and market systems). Our contribution is grounded in a social science approach, utilising the case study method, which broadens rather than constrains the range of features explored within each case. This methodology facilitates the discovery of unexpected findings, including those not directly aligned with the original research questions, thereby offering insights that might otherwise remain overlooked. The overarching aim of this research is to address the complexity inherent in the empirical cases under investigation.
