This feature explores how European education systems negotiate tensions between collective ideals and growing competition. Drawing on studies from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Belarus, it examines shadow education, policy debates over equity, culturally grounded early childhood learning, and enduring post-Soviet public institutions. Together, these perspectives reveal education as a social mirror, continuously balancing public good, cultural identity, historical legacy, and individual ambition across diverse European contexts and shared societal values.
A new data paper in One Ecosystem introduces a long-term dataset (1995-2022) which quantifies how international trade in wheat, soybean, rice, and maize redistributes environmental pressures. By integrating UN Comtrade and FAOSTAT data with biodiversity loss intensity factors, researchers Dr Zhuofan Huang and Dr Zhenglei He have mapped over 91,000 trade relationships across 157 countries. This open-access resource identifies high-risk trade pathways and central players like the US, Brazil, and China, providing a critical tool for developing sustainable food policies and achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals.
