Everytime you look at a textbook, you are experiencing the soil in one of its many forms. The soil is the belly of the planet. #SaveSoil #ConsciousPlanet #SaveSoilFixClimateChange #SoilForClimateAction

Year-round strawberries: how growing in greenhouses is changing berry production Greenhouse growing has changed the game in berry production, allowing farmers to grow strawberries year-round, regardless of the weather. Potager Mont-Rouge, based in Rougemont, has perfected this method, producing high-quality strawberries from January to early June. This approach not only ensures a stable supply, but also protects crops from climate problems and diseases, resulting in […] https://lnkd.in/enA-cxpJ

About 70% of the weight of a textbook 📚 or glossy-paged magazine is soil. Historically, soil 🌱 has been overlooked – seen as merely ground for holding plants while fertilizers, nutrients, and 💧water help them grow. Over time, ⏲️ our top soils have deteriorated due to erosion and certain unsustainable 🐑 farming practices. According to the United Nations one-third of the planet’s land is severely degraded. Good soil is alive with billions of 🪱 microorganisms and it has the proper structure to hold water and nutrients. These attributes allow the soil to better absorb and retain water and nutrients for plants and to better protect against pests 🪰. Good soil health can improve farm productivity, improve the long-term sustainability of our soils, and help mitigate climate change.

It is an intetesting existential fact.

Corn, also known as maize, is a vital food source for billions worldwide. 🌽 But European maize varieties are challenged by climate variabilities, which means they need careful management by farmers to withstand common heat and drought stresses. That’s why we’re developing resilient maize varieties to help farmers provide for those who rely on this European staple. Read this Seed World Europe article to learn more about how we're creating climate-adaptive corn, not only to achieve high yields but also to encourage sustainable farming practices: https://bit.ly/4aJD1Rh #SeedWorldEurope #ClimateResilience

Weeds build up over time to choke out healthy water. See how Clean-Flo controlled invasive weeds without toxic herbicides. This vegetation heat map shows dense invasive weeds (red) infecting a lake before the remediation program and progressive recession (blue and green) with Clean-Flo’s herbicide-free remediation program.

Extreme weather is playing havoc with our breakfast tables. The fluctuation between droughts and floods severely affects the production of oranges, a key ingredient for our beloved juice. These conditions not only decrease the crop yield but push the prices up, straining the entire supply chain. It’s a pressing challenge that affects us all, from producers to consumers. However, there's a beacon of hope through climate-smart agriculture practices. By adopting such techniques, farmers can improve resilience against unpredictable weather, ensuring your morning juice remains affordable and accessible. It's time for us to embrace and promote sustainable practices. Find out more in our blog: https://lnkd.in/e945Eqjt #ClimateSmartAgriculture #ResilientFarming

Today is the Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, a reminder that desertification, land degradation and drought are some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. This year, the theme of the Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, "United for the Land: Our Legacy and Our Future," highlights the importance of land stewardship in ensuring stability and prosperity for billions of people around the world. 👉 Agriculture is one of the main activities affected by these problems and at the same time one of those responsible. Unsustainable agricultural practices contribute significantly to soil degradation and desertification. This is why it is essential to reconsider policies that encourage sustainable agricultural practices and the safeguarding of soil resources. Rafael Juncosa, CEO of Futureco Bioscience, mentioned this when the European Commission withdrew the SUR #PesticideReductionLaw, which aimed to reduce pesticide use by 50% and ban the most deadly pesticides by 2030: "The weakening of policies that promote pesticide reduction and sustainable agriculture threatens #SoilHealth and, in turn, climate resilience and agricultural productivity." 🌱 At Futureco Bioscience we strongly believe that agricultural activity must be sustainable and preserve the productivity it harbors in our soils. It is the responsibility of all of us who are part of the agricultural industry to take care of soil health, improve crop resilience with ecological solutions and promote sustainable water management. 📌 You can read the full article at: https://lnkd.in/dAc4wMrG #DayToFightDesertificationAndDrought #Desertification #Drought #SustainableAgriculture #LandDegradation

Our fork, our future. The health of agricultural soil faces a multitude of issues today, with far-reaching consequences for food security and sustainability. Soil SOS: Erosion, compaction, and climate chaos pummel our precious farmland. Over-fed chemicals and neglected organic matter weaken its core. Result: crops struggle, farmers bleed. Hope blooms: Cover crops cuddle bare soil, tech whispers secrets of resource wisdom, compost refeeds the living earth, and agroecology paints a thriving ecosystem. The choice is ours: Embrace these green allies, or watch the banquet table of life shrink. #SoilHealthMatters #SustainableAg #ClimateSmartAg #FoodSecurity #ProtectOurPlanet #FutureofFood #ClimateActionNow #SaveTheSoil #KissTheGround #GrowFoodNotLawns #FeedTheFuture #BeTheChange #TogetherWeCan #SoilErosion #OrganicMatter #SoilPollution #Drought #Floods #CarbonSequestration #PrecisionAg #CoverCrops #Agroecology
