As we expand our efforts to breed climate-resilient vegetable hybrids, we invited Professor Alon Tal to speak to the R&D department and other Hazera colleagues in Berurim on “Making Climate Tech Work”, the title of his recent book. In his presentation, he emphasized the critical role of agricultural innovation in addressing climate challenges, highlighted compelling examples in agriculture and industry, and discussed crucial strategies to mitigate climate change and to steward environmental quality. Many thanks, Professor Tal, for sharing your knowledge and inspiring our team to think more deeply and differently about the role of variety improvement, seeds and genetics in climate innovation! #goodforpeople #Sustainability #Agriculture #Innovation #ClimateAction #AgriculturalInnovation #MakingClimateTechWork

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.

🔬🌱 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

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. For more information, and to register, visit the Eventbrite page: https://lnkd.in/gRhBmf2E Please note this webinar is open to regional NRM organisation staff and board members only.

🌱 Sharing Science Across Disciplines: A Fun and Engaging Experience! As scientists, we often focus on advancing knowledge within our field, but how often do we take the time to share our work with colleagues from different areas? I had the incredible opportunity to do just that at International Potato Center (CIP) (CIP), showcasing our work in conservation agriculture to our amazing colleagues from finance, IT, grants and contracts, among others. During the event, we explored how practices like zero tillage and mulching with rice straw can transform farming, improve soil health, and even help mitigate climate change. The highlight? Demonstrating how potatoes can be grown sustainably without tilling the soil—right here at CIP! 🌍🥔 It was a joy to see everyone, from departments not typically involved in agriculture, get their hands dirty (quite literally!) and engage with the science that drives our work. These cross-departmental exchanges are not only fun, but they help foster a deeper understanding of our collective mission. 🔑 Key takeaway: Science becomes stronger when shared. No matter your field, take the time to bring your work closer to your colleagues—you never know the new perspectives and collaborations that might emerge! Watch this space for the video of the event and a behind-the-scenes look at how CIP is pushing the boundaries of sustainable farming. 🚜✨ #ScienceCommunication #RegenerativeAgriculture #Collaboration #Sustainability #PotatoResearch #Teamwork

Most science literature on regenerative agriculture focusses on how what regenerative farmers and ranchers do affects the land and the outcomes received. What is less often discussed is how engaging in regenerative practices affects the farmer! Many regenerative farmers speak of having needed a transformation in mindset at some point along the way, and this frequently develops into increased well-being and changes in how they see interconnections in the world. This fascinating research study from the journal of "Agriculture and Human Values" uses a "more-than-human ethic of care lens" to explore the relational aspects of human beings engaging with nature to regeneratively transform the land. The shift in mindset required is thought by the authors to have transformational potential for society as a whole. Learn more: https://buff.ly/3VqZ3Rh The word cloud you see comes from the article and was produced from participant responses to the question “If you could use 2–3 words to summarize your sentiments for regenerative agriculture, what would they be?“. Words in a larger font were mentioned more frequently. #CRARS #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativemindsets

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."
