Recently, my first paper was published in the Journal of Applied ecology, named ‘Modelling agricultural landscape complementation for natural pest control’. As the name might already suggest we used a mathematical model to study the impact of the agricultural landscape on natural pest control in arable crops. Here, I wanted to give a short overview of our findings and what they could mean for landscape design in arable farming systems.

Last year has not been a great year politically and it made me and the people around me feel quite powerless. However, there are other ways to make an impact and one of my favourite ways will also make you money (yay!). I am talking impact investing. Over the years I have gained knowledge and experience in various ways to invest that leaves a positive impact on this world. Here, I will discuss what I have found. My knowledge comes from experience, mutliple sources that I have used over the years, and, lately, from the book ‘Girls just wanna have impact funds’ from Female Invest. I am definetely no expert but I hope this information is useful to you.
