🇧🇩 Abul Bashar, a lecturer at Bangladesh Agricultural University, has made history by winning the prestigious IPCC award for his innovative research on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from shrimp farms. Supported by Danish funding and conducted with Copenhagen University, Bashar’s study used advanced genetic analysis to identify microbes that both produce and break down harmful gases like methane. His work aims to make shrimp farming more eco-friendly by modifying farming practices to minimize emissions. The award was presented by Monaco’s Prince Albert at the 17th Planetary Health Awards, showcasing Bashar’s groundbreaking contributions. This recognition places Bangladesh on the global map for climate research and sustainable aquaculture solutions. Source: Prothom Alo That's why we should give more importance in research field.

Despite its potential to increase the #sustainability of our agricultural system, #intercropping has virtually disappeared from the #agricultural landscapes of European member states. Barriers of different types (e.g., cultural, financial, organisational, technical) hinder the spread of this practice. A coordinated commitment from all stakeholders of the #food #valuechain is needed to overcome these barriers. How can policymakers support this process? We have 5 recommendations for designing "intercrops-friendly" policies. take a look at IntercropVALUES 1st Policy brief: https://lnkd.in/d_QbVJGK UCLouvain - Université catholique de Louvain IFOAM Organics Europe CIRAD EU CAP Network European Research Executive Agency (REA) INRAE Bioeconomics | KU Leuven INTIA INICIATIVAS INNOVADORAS Field Crops Wageningen Research UniKasselTransfer FNCUMA (Fédération Nationale des cuma) CREA Ricerca Club of Mozambique Sytra - UCLouvain SLU - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Roskilde University The University of Bonn Universität für Bodenkultur Wien INRAE Occitanie-Toulouse ENSFEA Toulouse AgroParisTech Business Lolland-Falster Rete Semi Rurali ETS Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL SRUC SAOS Ltd

Pesticide resistance is one of the biggest challenges in modern agriculture! ⚠️ Over time, pests adapt to the traditional chemical treatments, making them less effective and requiring higher doses to achieve the same results. 🦗🌱 How do we address this growing problem? 🤔 Using natural and innovative bio-based solutions that are being developed with the #InPP Team, within the scope of the VINNY Project. 🧪🧫👇 The idea is to reduce the risk of resistance while protecting crops more sustainably. These eco-friendly alternatives target pests innovatively, ensuring long-term effectiveness without harming the environment. 🍇♻️💡 As you can see, it's a safer approach for crops, farmers and the planet! 🌏💚 VINNY is a European project led by the Universidade do Minho and funded by the Horizon Europe programme. #VINNY #project #HorizonEurope #viticulture #sustainability #agriculture #CircularEconomy #GreenInnovation #research #proud2beInPP #InPPTeam Universidade do Minho / CBMA - Centro de Biologia Molecular e Ambiental Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) Universität für Bodenkultur Wien Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Project HUB-360 AITEX GlobalWise Ltd ADVID - Associação para o Desenvolvimento da Viticultura Duriense Ryp Labs Université de Tours Ascend Technologies Ltd.

🌡 The agricultural sector is responsible for about 75% of the total global consumption of water. Global climate changes are predicted to have a substantial influence on agroclimatic model projections, evidenced by both a considerable decrease in rainfall and a temperature increases between 0.5 and 2°C by the year 2100. ☀ These changes could encourage a reconversion of agronomic methods in order to meet the increasing demands for high-quality and quantity of food for the expanding global population. In this scenario, drought has emerged as one of the major abiotic stresses and is considered the strongest environmental stress that limits plant growth and reduces crop productivity. Due to drought, yield reductions have been reported in the order of 21 to 40%, from 1980 to 2015, for wheat (Triticum aestivum) and maize (Zea mays) productions. 💧 For these reasons, novel agricultural techniques must be implemented to boost resistance to climatic fluctuations, such as introducing new crop species or improve water use efficiency. One of the most important questions to be addressed is how to use less water, however maintaining the current plant production yields, or even increase them. 🌱 An alternative that has generated much interest in recent years is the use of plant growth-promoting (PGP) microorganisms as inoculants (biofertilizers) in agricultural plants. 👉 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/erqsHxnx #Tribiome #Soilmicrobiome #Platform #Digital #Resilience #Sustainability    Wagralim | ITENE | Universidad de Burgos | University of Pretoria  | ASAJA (Asociación Agraria-Jóvenes Agricultores) | ValGenetics | SIMAVI Software Imagination & Vision | Rete Semi Rurali ETS |  Natural Resources Institute Finland / Luonnonvarakeskus (Luke) Minna Kahala | Particula Group | Grupo Fertiberia / Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna   @Agence exécutive européenne pour la recherche (REA) | @L’UE_ENV | @EUAgri | @HorizonEU   Guido Giudetti | Magdalena Gajdzińska

🌱 Dutch Research Council funds research on interaction between microbes and seeds 👩🔬 Microbes, such as bacteria and fungi, play an important role in nature. They help plants absorb nutrients and protect against diseases, for example. Academics from Wageningen University & Research and Nederlands Instituut voor Ecologie (NIOO-KNAW) will be conducting research into the seed microbiome to discover how it helps improve seed quality and plant growth. The NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek) is funding the project. 🔬 The research focuses on three key questions: 1️⃣ How do genetic properties and seed characteristics influence microbe recruitment? 2️⃣ Which microbes contribute to better seed and plant performance, especially during drought stress? 3️⃣ What are the mechanisms underlying plant-microbe interactions? The research aims to better understand the role of microorganisms in plant growth, in particular how these 'invisible helpers' enter the next generation of plants through the seed and contribute to seed and plant resilience 🌱 This knowledge can improve the sustainability of agriculture. Farmers and growers will be able to use microorganisms to grow robust and healthy plants, making them more resistant to climate change 🌦 Research leader Leónie Bentsink is pleased with the funding from the Dutch Research Council's Open Technology Programme: "This funding will allow us to build on this line of research." Congratulations to Léonie Bentsink and her colleagues! 👏 What do you think about this research? Let us know 👇 #microbiome #climatechange #climateadaptation #agriculture

Sustainable Agriculture Methods in the Production of Renewable Nutrients and Water: Utilization of Hydroponics and Aquaculture I performed gel electrophoresis on a different strand of PCR from the isotope analysis research. The gel that was made the previous week was transported into the gel chamber and the buffer solution was poured directly over until entirely submerged. Then each PCR tube was inserted into an individual well that was approximately 10ul. The ladder DNA was also inputted into the well. This was left rocking for 24 hours and then removed the next day. In this research period, I confirmed that the gel electrophoresis was, in fact, successful and could be permitted to be sent off for additional research and applications. I brainstormed that I would continue to conduct isotope analysis on organisms found in the Georgia wetland as well as nearby environments to determine the climate change that has occurred in the environment in a duration of time. This would be determined by analyzing food chains and organisms that have once inhabited the area but have moved to various ecosystems.

The Role of Arabidopsis thaliana in Agricultural Research. Arabidopsis thaliana is a small flowering plant related to mustard. It is widely used in agricultural research because it has a simple genome and short life cycle, making it easy to study. Scientists use Arabidopsis to understand plant genetics, development, and responses to environmental stresses like drought or pests. This research helps improve crops by identifying genes that can enhance growth, disease resistance, and yield. By studying Arabidopsis, researchers can develop better farming techniques and more resilient plants, which is important for food security and sustainable agriculture.
