Prompted by climate change, wildfires are devastating larger portions of the forests that generate the emission credits sold to the corporations
“Best pratices help global soils to sequester enough carbon o offset up to one third of agricultural GHG emissions,” says FAO. Here are two brand new practical tools
Historically underestimated, emissions from pre- and post-production activities weigh strongly on estimates of food industry’s total climate footprint. Mr. Tubiello (FAO): “Zero balance is no longer enough, we need to reduce the impact of all sectors.”
Ellen MacArthur Foundation: “To create an environmentally friendly food production system, we must redesign the supply chain by diversifying ingredients and regenerating crops.”
Scientists from the University of Los Baños have isolated 30 bacteria species found at the Mayon volcano, in the north of the country. One of them seems to have relevant antibiotic and antitumor properties.
Proposals from U.S. experts: data use, effective communication, specific solutions, collaboration and more. The goal? Changing agriculture to tackle climate change.
Uncontrolled visitor sprawl and climate change are contributing to erosion and biodiversity loss in Britain’s iconic Lake District, according to the Guardian. And restoration is getting more expensive
87% of global agricultural subsidies lead to price distortions, climate damage and social inequality. That’s why we must rethink them in a sustainable way. As some governments are already doing
Over the past three decades, floods and droughts have devastated the agricultural soil in Afghanistan, CBS says. This helped the Taliban to recruit a growing number of desperate farmers with no alternatives
It’s beneath our feet but we never think about its value. We tread on it, we mistreat it, but a healthy, fertile soil means life. It’s time to take care of the soil and each one of us can and must make a difference.
