Rice is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) and nitrogen pollution. While best management practices have been developed to enhance the sustainability of rice production under current climates, their adaptability and efficacy under future climate scenarios remain uncertain. Here we evaluated 49 best management practices across global grid cells...

Climate change alters the climatic suitability of croplands, likely shifting the spatial distribution and diversity of global food crop production. Analyses of future potential food crop diversity have been limited to a small number of crops. Here we project geographical shifts in the climatic niches of 30 major food crops...

How can farmers in resource-limited areas access vital knowledge on sustainable agriculture? A project study in Mali reveals that interactive voice recordings (IVR) on basic mobile phones can drive agroecological intensification. By sharing simple yet impactful practices like crop rotation, mulching, and pest management, this digital innovation significantly boosts adoption...

Farming activities contribute to soil antibiotic pollution, posing health risks for rural farm workers, especially on small farms in impoverished regions. The effectiveness of large farms in reducing poverty-induced soil antibiotic exposure risk (SABER) remains uncertain. Here we integrate global datasets on concentration of soil antibiotics, rural farm-worker employments and...

Global food loss and waste continues to increase despite efforts to reduce it. Food waste causes a disproportionally large carbon footprint and resource burdens, which require urgent action to transition away from a disposal-dominated linear system to a circular bioeconomy of recovery and reuse of valuable resources. Here, using data...

Uno de los principales procesos de degradación del recurso suelo destinado al uso agrícola continuo bajo siembra directa es la compactación. Este fenómeno ocasiona el progresivo reordenamiento de las partículas sólidas del suelo, modificando la arquitectura del espacio poroso de los estratos superficiales y subsuperficiales. Las condiciones propias de la...

Paddy fields are major contributors to agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Applying ~1% biochar by topsoil weight (high single, HS) effectively reduces greenhouse gas emissions from paddy fields, but long-term impacts are unclear. Here we present 8-year field experiments showing HS reduces CO2 equivalent per hectare by 59% and yields a net...

The project addressed the critical need for sustainable development in rural communities across Europe and Central Asia (ECA), aligning with SDGs 1 (No Poverty) and 2 (Zero Hunger). In the ECA region, nearly one-third of the population resided in rural areas, where small family farms dominated the agricultural sector. Despite...

In a collaborative effort to enhance sustainable farming practices, the SustainSahel project is producing informative videos on intercropping and the introduction of multi-purpose woody legumes. These resources, developed in close partnership with local farmers, aim to address challenges such as soil degradation and animal nutrition, providing practical guidance on techniques...

News about fair fisheries, healthy seas and vibrant fishing communities

The Gender Equality and Governance Index (GEGI) report for 2024 reviews both the progress, and setbacks, that women worldwide have faced over the past two years and since the publication of the last report. European countries under a democratic form of governance – such as Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain...

Este trabajo parte de la premisa acerca de la vinculación entre la alimentación indus-trializada y las crisis alimentarias, que se traducen en graves violaciones al derecho humano a la alimentación. Postula que la realización efectiva del derecho humano a la alimentación se encuentra vinculada con la recuperación de los sistemas...

Ce document rassemble 5 fiches techniques issues de travaux de recherche, dans le but de présenter les stratégies permettant de cultiver plus de légumineuses : les associations de culture, les rotations et la diversification des légumineuses pour l'alimentation humaine ou animale. Ces fiches sont à destination des agriculteurs, conseillers, techniciens,...

4 Chairs is a raw interview on FAEB, conducted for the film "The Green Vein: Agroecology rising in West Africa" gifted to you as a special film extra due to the amazing relevance of thought presented by this group of people.

In West Africa, family farming employs around 62 percent of the workforce, supplying the bulk of agricultural (both unprocessed and processed) products to feed the population and satisfy the agrifood industry’s requirements. However, despite its clear importance, the vital role of family farming in combating poverty and food insecurity is...
