When hunger drives perception
When hunger drives perception
Why do we opt for unhealthy food when we're hungry? A new study by researchers at the University of Hamburg shows that hunger doesn't just shape our preferences, it also influences how we view food at different times. Nutritional value and healthy choices tend to take a back seat. Have you ever walked through a supermarket, stomach grumbling, and tried to choose healthy food over tastier but less healthy options? Anyone faced with rows of colorful products knows this feeling.

Successful strategies for collaborative species conservation
Researchers at Göttingen University show keys to nature conservation measures at landscape level   How can the loss of species and habitats in agricultural landscapes be stopped? Up to now, measures have mostly been implemented by individual farms. In contrast, agri-environmental measures that are planned across farms at landscape level offer greater potential for creating suitable habitats for different species as a mosaic in the landscape.

New technologies to identify food fraud in hazelnut consumption
A team of the University of Barcelona is leading a study that improves the technology available to identify the geographical origin and variety of hazelnuts, and thus avoid commercial fraud and food safety problems linked to the consumption of these nuts. Food fraud, a problem that can affect a number of commonly consumed products, generates high economic losses and also influences the relationship of trust between suppliers and consumers.
