Sugar factories are real „energy guzzlers“ and have a correspondingly large CO2 footprint. But high emissions are also produced in the field and especially during transport. Reducing these costs a lot of money and will take years.
In semi-arid regions of India, reliable rainfall predictions are vital for sustainable crop yields. As climate change disrupts rainfall patterns, farmers face increased uncertainty. My research leverages remote sensing to utilize vegetation status as a rainfall indicator, helping farmers in data-scarce areas make timely irrigation decisions and conserve precious water resources.
The European BioDivERSA project investigates frequently used agro-environmental and climate-environmental measures for their added value in conserving and promoting biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.
Breeding, feeding and manure management - the potential for reducing CO2 in pig production is huge. However, there is still a lack of generally accepted assessment systems and corresponding market incentives to unleash it.
Shaping the future through research and innovation – this is our aim. As well as sharing our knowledge on innovative technologies and new approaches in agriculture and biodiversity.
The German Agricultural Society (DLG) Research and Innovation Team and the International Association for Agricultural Sustainability (IAAS) from Singapore organized and hosted the 10th International Agriculture Innovation Conference (IAIC) in Frankfurt this year. This collaborative effort aimed to foster international exchange, spark innovation, and drive sustainable development within the agri-food sector.
The more dramatic the agronomic challenges, the more hope there is for alternatives such as biologicals. However, they are not immediately effective and cannot reverse damage that has already occurred. So what can farmers expect?
