Over the past few months, I illustrated 58 information cards and did the graphic design for the new educational mystery game „Das Geheimnis der Soja-Bohne“ aka “The Secret of the Soybean”.

Developed by Dr. Henrike Becker, Dr. Johanna Lochner and ANU the material lets 10–12-year-olds explore how soy production, meat consumption, and environmental change are deeply connected — and how global issues shape our everyday choices. 🌱🔥
Through a narrative introduction, we meet Oskar (Germany), João (Cerrado) and Taíssa (Amazon) and uncover a global web of cause and effect:
• What does a sausage have to do with deforestation?
• Why is the sky burning over Santarém?
• And what responsibility do we carry?

With my illustrations, I want to include south perspectives, avoid stereotypes, and work sensitively with the lived realities of the interviewed children and activists. This was only possible through close collaboration with the interdisciplinary team and their partners in Brazil.

The material is part of the project GloPE – Global Perspectives on Sustainable Diets (GloPE 4), funded by Engagement Global/BMZ, and is free to download via the ANU website www.umweltbildung.de.

Huge thanks to Dr. Henrike Becker, Dr. Johanna Lochner, Annette Dieckmann, Sabrina Abel, Julia Pesch and everyone involved for this thoughtful and inspiring collaboration. ✨

This is both amazing and beautiful: "A trophic cascade is an ecological process that starts at the top of the food chain and tumbles all the way down. A classic examples is when wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park..."
