WORLD: Scientists can fortify plants against heat stress as global temperatures rise | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Rising global temperatures are posing a threat not only to people and wildlife but plants as well. The question of why many plants succumb as the heat increases is now better understood, thanks to a team of scientists who have identified the mechanism in plant cells that regulates their immunity.
It has long been known that increased temperatures compromises plants’ ability to make a defense hormone called salicylic acid, which boosts their immune system against invaders. However, how this defense mechanism works at the molecular level wasn’t well understood.

Abstract: Adjusting agricultural emissions for trade matters for climate change mitigation | Nature Communications

Abstract: Adjusting agricultural emissions for trade matters for climate change mitigation | Nature Communications | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in food systems is becoming more challenging as food is increasingly consumed away from producer regions, highlighting the need to consider emissions embodied in trade in agricultural emissions accounting. To address this, our study explores recent trends in trade-adjusted agricultural emissions of food items at the global, regional, and national levels. We find that emissions are largely dependent on a country’s consumption patterns and their agricultural emission intensities relative to their trading partners’. The absolute differences between the production-based and trade-adjusted emissions accounting approaches are especially apparent for major agricultural exporters and importers and where ...

The shop had not yet raised its shutters, and he jostled among a restless crowd all eager to be first served. “I had to feed Fatima and Sarah, my two daughters. I couldn’t miss my turn,” he said.

Céréales, engrais, énergie : comment éviter une famine en AFRIQUE ? - RFI | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

Depuis le 24 février 2022, la planète vit au rythme des conséquences de l’invasion russe en Ukraine. Des marchés ébranlés, à commencer par celui des céréales, le blé notamment, indispensable pour fabriquer du pain. Les effets sont puissants et dévastateurs sur les économies africaines, déjà fragilisées par le Covid-19, et sur des populations menacées par une nouvelle crise alimentaire majeure. À cela, s’ajoutent le coût du fret, les prix de l’énergie, l’inflation globale. Et la question des engrais, tout aussi indispensables aux productions agricoles.

Etude : Politique agricole commune : une analyse des plans stratégiques nationaux | MED-Amin network | Scoop.it

La prochaine programmation (2023-2027) de la Politique agricole commune (PAC) se caractérise par une plus grande subsidiarité et davantage de latitude laissée aux États membres, dans la mise en œuvre des orientations européennes. Dans ce contexte, l'Institut Thünen d'études rurales a publié un document comparant les différents Plans stratégiques nationaux (PSN), qui décrivent la façon dont chaque pays entend décliner la PAC sur son territoire. L'analyse porte surtout sur la répartition de l'enveloppe financière selon les priorités.

 

Les auteurs constatent d'abord une grande hétérogénéité concernant l'éco-conditionnalité, non seulement parce que les règlements européens permettent aux États de choisir entre ...

Abstract: Diversity and drivers of crop diversification pathways of European farms

Diversified cropping systems are a main pillar of agroecological practices, but their development is hindered by technological lock-in of agri-food systems around a few major crops. There are only a few examples where minor crops successfully developed and stabilized in a given agricultural region. The underlying change processes at play in these situations are not well known.

Highlights:

  • Crop diversification is hindered by technological lock-in around major crops.
  • Pathways of European farms that recently diversified their crops provide levers to further enable crop diversification.
  • Farmers' motivations to diversify are agronomic, economic or work-related; combined motivations lead to more diversity.
  • Outlets for diversification products strongly determine the level of external support and flexibility for farmers.
  • Supporting long-term crop diversification requires considering farmers' motivations to diversify.
