Join us Sept. 18, 5:00pm (EST) to learn about the Nexus of Soil Health, Diversified Crops, and Agricultural Productivity for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.  Register https://lnkd.in/e5PyWjPn Achieving SDG 2 Zero Hunger will require radical improvements in regenerative and sustainable agricultural production. The science to support such improvements needs to be fueled by a wide diversity of knowledge sources ranging from cutting edge scientific research to Indigenous practices honed through generations. This session will highlight scientific advances, applications, and lessons learned for inclusivity and collaboration across the three areas of research and development fundamental to improving regenerative and sustainable agriculture: soil health, adapted and diversified crops, and sustainable productivity growth. 

NRM Regions Australia webinar Tuesday, 21st May, 12.30pm – 2pm AEST Our most common pollinators are insects and according to bee experts at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, a third of the world’s food production depends on bees. With bee populations declining globally, over recent decades due to habitat loss, intensive farming practices, changes in weather patterns and the excessive use of agrochemicals such as pesticides, this poses a threat to the planet and human food security, well-being and livelihoods. NRM Regions Australia’s Biosecurity CoP is hosting a webinar with three pollinator experts with the latest information on varroa mite, practical pollinator biosecurity & emerging technology.

🔬🌱 Exciting Scientific Impacts Ahead! The FARMWISE project will bring important research impacts by advancing our understanding of the interplay between water, agriculture, and the environment and the need for policy changes. Nutrients and pollutants from agricultural areas are mainly spread as non-point source contaminants. Yet, no European policies have been developed to combat this type of pollutants. The reason for this is likely a lack of decision support. With long-term goals of enhancing policy development and scientific contributions, the FARMWISE project is defined by impactful research and collaboration, large-scale data collection and testing cutting-edge technologies in lab and in upscaled field conditions. This will result in optimising water use in agriculture, and will form a basis for improved policy making and decisions based on research-based results. Join us on this journey of scientific discovery and innovation for a sustainable future! 🌿🔬  #FARMWISE #ResearchImpact #SustainableAgriculture #WaterManagement #ScientificInnovation

Have you heard of the Decarb Forum for Agriculture & Land coming up in Sydney on 25 November? Decarbonising agriculture and land systems will be critical towards achieving Australia’s net zero goal by 2050. These systems are complex and interconnected with many challenges that all need to be addressed urgently. New policies, investments and cross-sectoral collaboration will be needed to ensure a just and green transition. Land Life is a supporting partner of the forum and our APAC Regional Director Tim Ferraro will be part of a roundtable discussion at this one day event. Run by Impact X, the forum will bring together up to 200 national stakeholders to explore systemic solutions for decarbonising the agriculture and land sector. Participants, including industry leaders, policymakers, experts, scientists, and innovators, will gather to engage in collaborative discussions aimed at overcoming barriers, identifying opportunities, and co-designing actionable solutions.

Check out this spotlight on the Revord Nut Breeding Lab in the Mizzou College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Road to Discovery Magazine! "Through high engagement of chestnut growers in Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky, the breeding program, known as the Chestnut Improvement Network, now has more than 20,000 new offspring growing in on-farm environments. Revord will be collecting data from these progeny on early year yields, bud-break time and kernel size and quality. Revord’s goal is to identify new, promising selections that may consistently avoid frost damage, offering producers needed production stability across environments, and which offers early production and return on investment."
