Can large-scale agriculture help fight climate change?
Conservation expert Linus Blomqvist and non-profit GRAIN make case for and against

Agriculture and deforestation caused by agriculture account for 26-33% of total emissions, is making it one of the major contributors of climate change.Chemical fertilisers are the main source of climate-changing gases.

China's polluted soil and water will drive up world food prices
China’s push for more intense farming has kept its city dwellers well-fed and helped lift millions of rural workers out of poverty. But it has come at a cost. Ecosystems in what should be one of the country’s most fertile regions have already been badly damaged – some beyond repair...

Safeguarding food production against climate change needs urgent measures
China’s warming climate could increase food production but only if steps are taken to combat drought, flooding and pests, says agri-sicentist Zhou Shudong
Rising temperatures are sure to have a big impact on China’s grain output and food security over the next 20 to 50 years. My research identifies some benefits, but at present the negative impacts will outweigh them, leading to lower harvests unless urgent measures are taken.
Climate change has two main positive...

Women drive alternative economies in the Himalayas
In the Himalayas, male outmigration and the effects of climate change create challenges for rural women. Many of them develop innovative farming practices based on agroecology, push alternative economies and create niche markets. Women in India, Nepal and China show how agroecology can be a strategy to adapt to changing circumstances, and to drive positive social change.
Young men from even the remotest places in the Himalayan mountains are leaving their homes in search of income opportunities elsewhere. This trend of out-migration has been driven by increased mobility and access to information, in combination with the effects of climate change, including both increased flooding and drought. Drought...

天津田园派：社区支持农业的本土化实践
天津田园派CSA农场，位于天津蓟县，是一家实践社区支持农业（Community Support Agriculture，简称CSA）的生态农场，只有7亩地。发起人高源、小沈夫妻俩在天津市区都有各自的全职工作，他们把大量业余时间投入到农场运作当中，和蓟县礼明庄村的农户静霞合作，在这小小地块上种植生态蔬菜和杂粮，分享给天津城区20多户会员家庭。在小编探访过的众多推崇CSA理念的农场中，田园派是极少见的、真正由城市“草根”消费者发起、并且由消费者和农户共同协作管理的一个特例。本文来自有机会——中国有机生活第一平台.

美国和日本社区支持型农业（CSA）的发展
社区支持型农业(CSA)是可持续农业的重要形式之一，近几年在国内逐渐受到人们关注，为借鉴日本和美国CSA发展的经验教训，促进中国CSA健康发展和城乡互补，为此，重点介绍了CSA在两国的发展历程及趋势，分析了兴衰背后的社会原因及其启示，并探讨了中国发展社区支持农业的潜在需求。研究得出：CSA最早产生的日本，随着有机农场的减少，以及社会经济变化等原因，CSA已经变得日益衰落；而在其后CSA兴起的美国却迎合了广大民众的需求得以蓬勃发展，并且功能形式日趋灵活多样，农场平均规模趋于减小；CSA的兴起和发展与其社会背景紧密相关，CSA多数提倡采用机生产方式同时兼备多种功能，其发展遵循平等互利、规模适度等原则，外部支援和参与有助于增强其发展活力。这对中国CSA和持续农业发展具有借鉴意义。该文从维护农民利益、保障市民需求及城乡一体化等角度，认为CSA是中国发展可持续农业、实现城乡协调发展的一条“绿色通道”。
