La bataille de Trafalgar a conduit à l’essor de la #betterave sucrière, les #carottes sont devenues oranges à cause de la ville du même nom, le carême orthodoxe a drastiquement modifié le #tournesol… Autant d’exemples développés dans mon livre “Pourquoi les bananes n’ont-elles pas de pépins?”

I am starting 2025 with a completely renewed blog based on Quarto. I have also updated all the previous posts. The first post addresses the issue of the lack of data normalization I observed in the Spanish National Atlas. #rstats #dataviz dominicroye.github.io/blog/2025-01...

The Arctic Ocean could see its first ice-free day by 2030, new research shows "The fact that the Arctic sea ice cover has changed so significantly that [its loss in] 2030 is even a remote possibility shows how much change there has already been in the Arctic environment” on.ft.com/3DgyKJK

Thanks Anneke ! For Zambia, could be an artefact in FAOStats database. I do not think arable land is an issue here coz it’s the yield that is plotted (not total productivity). Most striking feature for me is the high number of countries with low productivity 🥲
