FireScience.gov @FireScienceGOV A look at what abandonment of agriculture (sugar cane) in Hawai`i has left us, namely a major wildfire problem we need to collectively address: "Wildfire Review Series: Abandoned Agriculture in 2019 is Hawai‘i’s Fire Problem" https://lnkd.in/gmZqC_yW

🫘 Alternative proteins are crucial in feeding the growing population, ensuring our health, and eradicating hunger. With the environmental impact of animal farming, and a growing emphasis on ethical consumption, it’s no wonder there’s a global macro trend towards the production of alternative proteins. Hadar Sutovsky has put together a list of the top 10 alternative protein trends that are shaping our future! Read on to find out why #10 is our favorite 😊>> https://lnkd.in/d48zkAX9 Arkeon, Plantible Foods , and Protera are all mentioned.

Talash Huijbers, from Limuru, wondered why farmers are the poorest despite growing our food. In 2018, after earning a Food and Agribusiness degree, she founded Insectipro, using insects to revolutionize agriculture. They grow black soldier flies for animal feed and crickets for human consumption. Read her inspiring story at https://lnkd.in/dvxNEAMc #Top40Under40KE

Are we overestimating meat's carbon footprint? I recently read a book antagonising arguments for the plant-based diet. More on this coming soon. But what got me thinking was the role animal agriculture was playing in overall GHG emissions. We commonly hear a third of total GHG emissions comes from food. 18% from animal agriculture said the FAO in 2006, who then revised it down to 14.5% in 2013. But this article dated 2021 suggests a new range: 16.5% to 28.1%. Personal beliefs aside, which number do you think is most scientifically correct?

The more we learn about agriculture, local gardens, and our ecosystem, the more we see and understand the incredible impact of pollinators. However, our laws protecting these small critters like bees, moths, bats, flies, and birds have not been updated in nearly 30 years. That's why I have introduced the Plant and Pollinator Protection Act to make much needed updates that help protect our pollinators. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gfRHcxh9

(USA) Global insight series 2023: The Dirt on Soil Health   We all know that healthy plants require healthy soil — it’s the literal basis necessary for plants to thrive. Practically speaking, soil health is an obvious concern for every grower. The better your soil, the better the quality of your crops, and the higher your yield. In this report, we’ll take a look at the ways in which we can foster healthy, productive soil with the intention of mitigating the risks that external forces pose.

The European Parliament vote is an important step in recognising the importance of plant breeding innovation🌱🔬and its role in light of climate change, biodiversity and sustainability challenges, increasing scarcity, and a growing population. #Innovation #NGTs

realising the mportance of responsible and science based decision making process for the new scientific technologies in agriculture is what the present day need.
