How nature-based solutions can make agriculture more resilient to climate change

Climate change and associated warming can reduce crop performance (how well a crop grows and produces under specific conditions) by disrupting photosynthesis and altering pest populations, lowering fertiliser use efficiency (FUE), soil fertility, and crop yields. Higher temperatures and increased concentration of CO₂ can affect plant growth, expand pest ranges and life cycles, reduce plants’ ability to convert nutrients into yields, and worsen soil moisture loss and nutrient imbalance. Climate-resilient agriculture practices are needed to minimise these climate-related risks. Climate-resilient agriculture refers to farming practices that enable the agricultural system to adapt to changing climatic conditions, reduce vulnerability to climate-induced shocks, and enhance productivity. These practices focus on adaptation and mitigation measures and include measures like the selection of appropriate crops and climate-adapted varieties, adjustment of sowing window and crop duration, adoption of appropriate planting methods, agroforestry, biochar, efficient use of fertiliser, insecticides, pesticides, and improved water and soil management. Story continues below this ad In addition, climate-resilient agriculture also depends on the resilience of social systems – households, communities, and regions – and their ability to utilise available technical knowledge, services provided by the government and organisations. Moreover, among the various approaches that support climate-resilient agriculture, nature-based solutions have...

Calls to ban ‘toxic’ pet flea treatments that harm UK wildlife and environment

Over-the-counter treatments for cats and dogs contain chemicals that are banned in pesticides and pollute waterways Over-the-counter flea treatment for cats and dogs should be banned as millions of hazardous chemicals are unnecessarily applied to UK pets each year, a parliamentary report has concluded. Cats and dogs are widely treated with topical, or “spot on”, treatments that include insecticides to prevent fleas. Vets often recommend regular treatments as a preventive measure, even when the animals do not have fleas. It’s Invertebrate of the Year again! Every day from 3-12 August, we will be profiling one of the thousands of amazing invertebrates that our readers have nominated, and when you have heard about all of them, we will open the voting so you can choose your favourites. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with thoughts and ideas. Email us at environment.desk@theguardian.com with Invertebrate in the subject line. Continue reading...
