Environmental education at school
The Course "7 saberes para la educación ambiental en la escuela" (7 lessons for environmental education at school) awakened great interest among audiences interested in environmental education, because of both its novel approach, linking Morin's complex lessons to environmental education, and the international standing of the speakers. As well as the potential students at whom it was aimed - people coordinating school Agenda 2030 projects - the course attracted people from the worlds of academia, business and environmental education consultancy, among others.

The role of livestock in maintaining biodiversity is not taken into account in the climate change debate.
Whether or not livestock currently have a role is the question. "We researchers would be very pretentious if we were to claim that it does. Some people say it doesn't on the grounds that, if we want to tackle climate change, we should all go vegan. Meanwhile, others say it does because there are more and more of us and we demand and need more food".
