Environment Reports

Briefings on the most pressing environmental challenges facing the world today

Published by the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota, Environment Reports is a collaboration between an international group of scientists, writers, and designers to combine incisive narratives about environmental challenges, backed up by cutting-edge data.

Food Matters, the first report, focuses on the sustainability of our global food system.

As the global population grows, so do the world’s sustainability challenges. Now more than ever, it’s important to understand our environmental systems and the most effective ways to move forward. Whether you’re an educator, a business leader, a policymaker, or an engaged citizen, Food Matters provides a powerful means to understand and communicate environmental problems and solutions.
