"🌍 Climate Change: A Wake-Up Call for Agriculture 🌱 A recent study highlights a stark reality: climate change is impacting India's agriculture, which employs 40% of its workforce. Warmer temperatures during the growing season have been linked to approximately 59,000 farmer suicides in the last three decades. These findings underscore the urgent need for climate-resilient farming practices and sustainable solutions to safeguard livelihoods. 📖 Source: Deccan Herald #ClimateAction #SustainableAgriculture #IndiaAgriculture #EnvironmentalImpact"

The effect of Climate change on Agriculture doesn't go unnoticed. Being at the centre of the narrative, Years back we Introduced climatic resilient hybrid seeds engineered to withstand challenges like unpredictable weather patterns, droughts, and pest infestations. We did that so we could help farmers: 1. Increase Crop Yields. 2. Reduce Environmental Impacts. 3. Enhance Food Security and Supply chain. The goal has always been to fight climate change through hybrid seeds that will revolutionize agricultural production. This means helping as many farmers in Tanzania transcend from subsistence to sustainable farming. #zamseed #goodseed #pureseed

One Farm. Many Crops. Endless Benefits. 🌾🍃 It’s not just planting different crops; it’s about creating a resilient farming system that: ✅ Enriches soil health naturally 🌱 ✅ Manages pests without heavy chemical sprays 🐜🌼 ✅ Optimizes resources like water and sunlight 🌞💦 ✅ Builds climate resilience against droughts and floods 🌾💨 ✅ Promotes biodiversity and strengthens ecosystems 🐝🍃 From intercropping and crop rotation to agroforestry systems and mixed farming, diversification fosters a balance between nature and productivity. The result? ➡️ A system where farmers thrive economically, consumers enjoy healthier diets, and the planet heals sustainably. But there’s more work to do! 💡 Collaboration between farmers, governments, and consumers is key to making crop diversification the norm. 🌟 Together, we can secure a food-secure, eco-friendly future.

Sustainability update with a fresh produce perspective! Here are the main updates I touch on from last week’s news headlines: ✳️ Flooded farms in England refused compensation ✳️ Experts doubt climate friendly farming is climate friendly enough ✳️ Natural farming in India sees benefits with government support What do you think of the natural farming initiative in India? What other countries can you see this being adopted in and supported? #freshproduce #sustainability #sustainableagriculture #climateaction #climatechange #climate #nature

Can organic farming help in climate adaptation?

We encourage regenerative farming practices. One of these is crop rotation. It has many benefits, including: 🌽 Soil health: Different crops have different nutritional needs, and rotating crops can prevent soil deficiencies. 🌽 Pest and disease control: Rotating crops can disrupt the life cycle of pests and diseases. 🌽 Weed control: Some crops, like potatoes and squashes, can suppress weeds. 🌽 Biodiversity: Crop rotation can enhance biodiversity. 🌽 Climate change: Combined with low-till practices, crop rotation can reduce the rate of climate change.

🌧️ Climate Risks: Impact on Marginal Farmers 🌧️ Extreme weather events and unpredictable rainfall are taking a toll on our marginal farmers. - Drought Conditions: 41% of farmers report severe drought impacts. We need drought-resistant crops and water conservation practices urgently. - Unpredictable Rainfall: 1 in 3 farmers face excessive or off-season rains, endangering crops like rice, vegetables, and pulses. Adapting to climate change is crucial for our farmers' survival and success. Let's invest in resilient agricultural practices and technologies. 👉 Join the conversation!

Climate-smart greenhouses represent a promising solution to the challenges posed by climate change in the agricultural sector. By integrating advanced technologies and sustainable practices, these greenhouses increase agricultural productivity, adapt to changing climate conditions, and reduce environmental impacts. Syngenta Veg Field promoters in Zimbabwe are putting more effort on encouraging young farmers to do greenhouse farming as a way of mitigating Climate change hence promoting food security.Newton F1,Tovistar F1 are some of Syngenta Smart tomatoe varieties that Freshpicks (YPR) is also planning to do for farmers around Zimbabwe. In order to fight Climate change Tanaka young farmer has joined the rest of the world to do greenhouse farming.

🌍 Adapting to Climate Change: Essential Strategies for Sustainable Farming in ASAL Areas 🌱 Climate change is an ever-present challenge, particularly in arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) like Kimana. The shifting climate patterns pose significant risks to agricultural productivity and food security. At Ambokili Farm, we are committed to implementing and promoting effective climate adaptation strategies to ensure sustainable farming practices. From drought-resistant crops to efficient water management, we’re ensuring a sustainable future. By adapting to the changing climate, we can protect our environment, enhance our farm’s resilience, and secure a sustainable future for our community.  Climate change is reshaping agriculture, and at Ambokili Farm, we’re adapting with innovative strategies.

Informative and awareness video 🫡🫡 "Organic Farming: A Key Strategy for Climate Adaptation" As the world grapples with the effects of climate change, agriculture stands at the forefront of both vulnerability and resilience. In this battle against a changing climate, organic farming emerges as a potent ally, offering sustainable solutions that not only mitigate environmental impacts but also foster adaptation strategies. Organic farming, characterized by its reliance on natural inputs and avoidance of synthetic chemicals, presents a holistic approach to agriculture that aligns harmoniously with the principles of climate adaptation. One of the fundamental pillars of organic farming is soil health. By eschewing chemical fertilizers and pesticides, organic practices nurture robust, living soils that exhibit greater resilience to extreme weather events such as droughts and floods. Healthy soils act as a carbon sink, sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide and mitigating the effects of climate change. Furthermore, organic farming methods emphasize biodiversity conservation, promoting the cultivation of diverse crops and the preservation of natural habitats. This diversity not only enhances ecosystem resilience but also provides a buffer against climate-related crop failures. Through crop rotation, agroforestry, and the use of cover crops, organic farmers create resilient agricultural systems capable of withstanding unpredictable weather patterns and pest pressures. Water conservation is another critical aspect of organic farming that contributes to climate adaptation. By employing practices such as mulching, drip irrigation, and rainwater harvesting, organic farmers minimize water wastage and mitigate the impacts of water scarcity exacerbated by climate change. Additionally, agroecological approaches utilized in organic farming, such as agroforestry and contour planting, help prevent soil erosion and maintain hydrological cycles, further safeguarding water resources. Moreover, organic agriculture fosters local resilience by reducing dependence on external inputs and fostering community-based food systems. By prioritizing organic farming practices, communities can mitigate the vulnerabilities associated with globalized supply chains and ensure food security in the face of climate-related disruptions.
