In Episode 41 we meet Simona Jastremskaite who participated in the 2020 Dublona Journey.
Simona's climate journey began in China. While teaching, she became sensitised to the incapacity of expanding urban areas to build resilience against rapid climate change. This has led her to her Master's studies in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science at the University of Lund, where she is specializing in the connection between conventional farming and eutrophication.
Eutrophication is caused by an excessive use of fertilizers in conventional farming, which pollutes waterways. As a result, algae populations explode as they feast on the nutrient-rich particles in the water. This has devastating consequences for marine life.
In this episode, Simona discusses her thesis research with the Lithuanian Ministry of Environment into this topic, as well as her other projects tackling food waste in both Vilnius and Lund.
