📣The recent Africa Fertilizer and Soil Health Summit sparked critical discussions on the role of soil health in the future of African agriculture. One key side event featured Dr. Mina Devkota , Senior Scientist at ICARDA; International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas who emphasized the urgency of addressing soil degradation - "Without intervention, all investments will be futile," she stated. She emphasized the importance of policy dialogue and influence to enhance uptake, stressing that scaling efforts require collaborative policy support. It's clear that collective action, coupled with strategic policy initiatives, is essential to realizing widespread impact in combatting soil degradation. Mina's message resonated deeply. At EiA, we share the belief that agronomy is the pathway to soil health. That is why EiA scientists deliver contextualized and applicable agronomy solutions to unlock the full potential of soil health. It's not just a key performance indicator for us, but is fundamental to achieving long-term agronomic gains. Collective action, coupled with strategic policy initiatives, is essential to making a widespread impact. We're committed to being part of the solution. 💡See our solutions on soil health here: https://lnkd.in/d-DetgnK #Africa #SoilHealth #SustainableAgriculture #Agronomy #EiA

Reflecting on an insightful experience at the research co-operators' conference on Ensuring Nutritional and Environmental Sustainability using Multi Nutrient Natural Mineral fertilizers, held in collaboration with Anglo American and the Division of Agronomy, Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi. The discussions and knowledge shared at the NASC complex from December 11-13, 2023, have been pivotal in understanding the role of sustainable practices in agriculture. #AgricultureResearch #Sustainability #NutritionalSecurity #EnvironmentalSustainability #MultiNutrientFertilizers #Agronomy #IARI #AngloAmerican #ConferenceInsights #LatePost

All articles in Agronomy MDPI (ISSN: 2073-4395) Vol 14, Issue 8, are now freely available to access, read and download: https://brnw.ch/21wLYxg COVER STORY: The identification and preservation of alpine rye ecotypes in Valtellina (Italy) has been the object of a recent study by the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca. Fourteen rye accessions, including two commercial varieties, were analyzed through genetic, agronomic, and phytochemical methods. The findings revealed two distinct genetic lineages: P1 (lower valley) and P2 (upper valley). P2 accessions exhibited superior agronomic traits, while phytochemical analysis highlighted high-performing Valtellina landraces. This study emphasizes the importance of conserving these ecotypes for local agriculture and resilience against climate change.

The recent Africa Fertilizer and Soil Health Summit sparked crucial discussions surrounding Integrated Soil Fertility Management Principles. One standout event featured Dr. Frank Rasche, whose insights shed light on the foundational importance of soil health in fostering productive and resource-efficient agricultural systems, essential for ensuring ample nutritious food and environmental well-being. He recognized the interdependent pillars supporting soil health: the availability of nutrients, organic matter, and soil biota. Frank stressed the urgent need to confront soil health challenges amidst escalating soil degradation to prevent biodiversity loss, yield decline, and socio-economic setbacks. He stressed the need for strategic leverage points in agronomy, incentives and policies to manage soil health effectively on a broad scale. Frank's message struck a chord with the CGIAR Excellence in Agronomy Initiative as they strongly believe that agronomy is the key to healthy soil.
