As climate change intensifies, its impact on global agriculture escalates, presenting severe challenges such as increased drought and resource depletion. These environmental shifts threaten not only the stability of ecosystems but also global food security, as agricultural yields fluctuate and water resources diminish. Additionally, the heavy reliance on chemical fertilizers, though beneficial for crop productivity, leads to significant ecological damage—depleting soil nutrients and contaminating water sources. The pressing need to develop sustainable agricultural practices is more critical than ever, aimed at addressing both the immediate and long-term needs of food production while preserving our environmental resources for future generations. In our recent study, we aim to address these multifaceted challenges by exploring an eco-friendly strategy that integrates horse manure vermicompost with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. This approach promises to enhance tomato fruit quality and soil fertility under arid conditions, offering a beacon of hope for sustainable agricultural practices that align with ecological preservation and enhanced food security. Join us as we delve into the findings and implications of our research, proposing a path forward in the face of environmental adversity. https://lnkd.in/ee6EncEx #Tomato #Sustainableagriculture #water #Foodsecurity #arid #semiarid  Plants MDPI

Biochar’s porous structure means it retains water and, so, improves soil’s ability to hold moisture. As a result, it can keep beneficial soil bacteria and fungi alive during a long, hot summer. It also helps with drainage. Its porosity means it acts like millions of tiny sponges in the soil, holding onto any excess water. The soil can later benefit from this stored water when it has dried out. #ANZBIG #anzbc21 #biochar #bioenergy #carbondrawdown #circulareconomy #environment #sustainability #organicfarming #agriculture #organicagriculture #regenerativeagriculture #animalhealth #farmingtechnology #climatechange #renewableenergy #ImprovingSoilFertility #WaterRetention

A demonstration of generations of ancestral knowledge of land management and farming practices to remediate in-situ all contaminants known from soil, water, air. #PCBs #PFAS #HeavyMetals #atrazine #Glyphosate #hydrocarbons #Uranium We remediate degraded/polluted lands to correct imbalances and aim for forest landscape restoration and nature-based solutions - Like our ancestors, we cultivate naturally occurring microbial and fungal associations and bio stimulants. #blackearth #SuperFund2SuperFood We reverse genetic modification, boost immunity & growth, increase plant oil potency, increase BRIX readings, and establish in-situ resilience in any climate #Carbonsequestration #BrixLevelsUnmacthed #InsituOrganic What we do: use our generations of ancestral knowledge of land management and farming practices to remediate in-situ all contaminants known from soil, water, air. We remediate degraded/polluted lands to correct imbalances and aim for forest landscape restoration and nature-based solutions - Like our ancestors, we cultivate naturally occurring microbial and fungal associations and bio stimulants. We reverse genetic modification, boost immunity & growth, increase plant oil potency, increase BRIX readings, and establish in-situ resilience in any climate profile.

🌿 **Managing _Tetranychus urticae_ Infestations with Biological Control Agents** 🌿 Tetranychus urticae, commonly known as the red spider mite, is a notorious pest causing significant damage to a variety of crops through the formation of characteristic silver spots on leaves. Effective management of this pest is critical to maintaining plant health and productivity. One of the most promising strategies for controlling T. urticae populations is the use of biological control agents. Neoseiulus longispinosus, a predatory mite, has demonstrated exceptional efficacy in reducing T. urticae infestations. By introducing N. longispinosus into the affected areas, growers can significantly mitigate the damage caused by red spider mites, promoting healthier crop yields without relying on chemical pesticides. Leveraging natural predators like N. longispinosus not only supports sustainable agricultural practices but also enhances the resilience of our ecosystems. #Agriculture #PestManagement #BiologicalControl #Sustainability #CropProtection

#regenerativeagriculture #agroecology the future of agroecosystems lies in the nature based solutions that include soil and water conservation without which the brutality of nature will show it’s unforgiving face. Humanity needs to give back to nature as much as we take away from it. Giving and receiving is and has always been a vicious cycle of interdependence between humankind and nature.

📢 A transition to agroecology and regenerative food systems would help us meet our climate, biodiversity and food security targets. 🎯 Transitioning to agroecology requires USD 430 billion annually. But right now it only gets USD 44 billion. In contrast, nearly USD 630 billion goes annually towards agriculture subsidies, half of which are harmful. ☠️ This doesn't add up. We need to transform our food systems. Read more in our article authored with IKEA Foundation and McKnight Foundation via Common Dreams: https://bit.ly/3X5eUsY #agroecology #climatefinance

🌾Our partner, Global Alliance for the Future of Food, recently released a report showcasing the importance of the transition to agroecology and regenerative food systems.   Current investments in the transition to regenerative food systems are estimated at $44 billion per year, with many farmers, fishers, food producers, governments, and companies supporting agroecology and regenerative approaches. However, more work needs to be done, with the report approximating a necessary tenfold increase in current annual philanthropic, public, and private investments to support the transition.   🌿Regen10 recognises this urgency, and our #TransitionPathways analysis also looks at the cost of moving landscapes towards regenerative agricultural approaches, highlighting the trade-offs and returns of embarking on this journey.    ⬇️To discover more about our Transition Pathways analysis, press the link in the comments. ⬇️Follow the link below to read the Global Alliance for the Future of Food  report on Cultivating Change!

Ok it’s time to start talking about the importance of supporting farmers. Why are they critical? Why is #regenag important? (In the video I talk about cropping land and marginal land but it could be qualified further that many areas that may be able to grow a crop for animals could not grow one suitable for human food. But that’s getting technical. It’s all about digestive enzymes and bioavailability etc. ) (Saw Anthony Chaffee, MD mention ruminant grazing land % and thought he might like to see the reference again) - - - #SoilCarbon #CarbonSequestration #RegenerativeAgriculture #HealthySoil #ClimateAction #CarbonFarming #SoilHealth #SustainableAgriculture #CarbonStorage #ClimateChange #SoilScience #CarbonNeutral #CarbonFootprint #OrganicFarming #SoilMicrobes #Agroecology #CarbonCycle #SoilErosion #ClimateSolutions #SoilQuality #CarbonCapture #LandRestoration #SustainableFarming #SoilOrganicMatter #ClimateResilience #CarbonBalance #SoilConservation #ClimateJustice #CarbonSmart #SoilManagement

If a ripple effect at behaviour change could be supported maybe current funds could be used better? In the US for example, one of the biggest polluters and producers of food - small targeted grants or low interest loans with educational and biological support could speed up this process? #regenag #transition
