"Give peas a chance" - that's the name of an award-winning project bringing healthier, more sustainable meals to Scottish schoolchildren and a true VISIONARY success story. The people behind the project first connected during one of our Science-Policy-Interface workshops hosted by the University of Aberdeen.

Another great networking success: Spanish dairy cooperatives have teamed up to seriously cut down on carbon emissions in the dairy sector. The initiative was coordinated by VISIONARY partner Cooperativas Agro-alimentarias de España, following one of our Science-Policy-Interface meetings.

All that and more in this edition of our newsletter - we hope you enjoy the read.
