More and better-designed land ownership may be a fundamental aspect of South Africa’s long-term food security. But it is a massive, complex task that could take years to implement, and so is not an immediate solution to the hunger and various other forms of malnutrition (resulting from overconsumption of cheap, unhealthy ultra-processed foods) that are plaguing millions of South Africans now.

Climate change is making heatwaves worse. Many people have already noticed the difference – and so too have other animals. Sadly, research by myself and colleagues has found young animals, in particular, are struggling to keep up with rising temperatures, likely making them more vulnerable to climate change than adults of their species.

To assist farmers in Africa in dealing with the effects of climate change on their crops, post-graduate students at Nelson Mandela University’s Centre for Community Technologies (CCT) are developing an innovative tool for farmers to help them monitor soil and climate conditions and optimise their crops.

Many economies in sub-Saharan Africa grew at a record pace before the pandemic. Ethiopia and Rwanda, for example, saw some of the fastest expansions in the world—an average of more than 7.5 percent per year over the past two decades. However, it is less clear whether the gains in economic growth have been shared equally across regions within countries because income data at the subnational level are not always available.

Along with food waste, food packaging is a significant source of pollution, generating approximately half of the packaging waste in the United States. In the wake of growing concerns about climate change and food product packaging's role in it, companies are taking action to make packaging more sustainable. Hosted on Acast.

The fall in the Agribusiness Confidence Index (ACI) followed a more modest two-point decline in Q2 and is a worrying sign as agriculture has been one of the few bright spots in an economy which is now being waylaid once again by Stage 6 power cuts.

“Regenerative Agriculture” describes farming and grazing practices that, among other benefits, reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity – resulting in both carbon drawdown and improving the water cycle.

It’s an important question, because agriculture and the deforestation that makes room for it generate one-fourth of all greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the Paris targets for 2050, the agriculture sector somehow needs to reduce those emissions by 75 percent while increasing food production by more than 50 percent. Hosted on Acast.

To better understand what drives biological diversity on Earth, scientists have historically looked at genetic differences between species. But this only provides part of the picture. The traits of a particular species are not merely the result of its genes but also the proteins those genes code for. Understanding the differences between species' proteomes—or all the proteins that can be expressed—is, therefore, as important as understanding differences between genomes. Hosted on Acast.

A new study published September 8 in Science finds that between 90 and 99% of all deforestation in the tropics is driven directly or indirectly by agriculture. Yet only half to two-thirds of this results in the expansion of active agricultural production on the deforested land. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Next time you see a bee hovering around a fruit tree, you’re probably witnessing pollination in action. Pollination is what enables a plant to produce seeds and fruit – and, as research has shown , pollination by insects can greatly improve the quality and quantity of fruit produced. Hosted on Acast.
