🐝🌍 Insects & Our Future: A Surprising Link to Supply Chain Resilience 🌿 A thought-provoking read from Reuters has shed light on an alarming trend: the global decline of insect populations. This isn't just about bees or butterflies; it's about the foundation of ecosystems that support the food and ingredients value chain—a crucial element for supply chain professionals to consider. The loss of these tiny but mighty workers hints at potential disruptions in agricultural productivity and global supply chains, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices across industries. A huge shoutout to Alejandro Sabarich Scattaglia for sharing this eye-opening piece. Let's discuss: How can we, as supply chain leaders, contribute to reversing this trend? 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/di_yCbJB #SupplyChainSustainability #Ecosystems #InsectDecline #SustainableSupplyChain

Fascinating stuff. Adapt, mitigate, and remove. Those are the survival strategies our researchers face in successfully navigating the Climate Era. Under adaptation, we need hardier crops to ensure our food systems are able to provide adequate supply. The implications are hard to understate. Humans have always suffered under the yolk of ruined harvests which lead to tragedy. It's only a very recent development that we've built food systems that we take for granted today. We should anticipate more as the climate warms. We need to innovate and adapt to soften the impact it has on our food systems. These innovations and more are necessary for our future. Inspiring to see so many different land grant universities across the U.S. leading the way! It's no different at WVU Davis College. Our faculty who are working on similar projects on plants and livestock. This is how we create a world sustainably fed, clothed, and sheltered. P.S. While I love the challenge of picking traditional blackberries, thornless bushes are a welcome change! Meet the Climate-Defying Fruits and Vegetables in Your Future https://lnkd.in/eHhtnD7v

Did you know that climate change is having a significant impact on agriculture? 🌍🌾 Rising global temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events are all affecting crop yields and food production. Here are some key insights into the climate change-agriculture relationship: - Changing temperature patterns are altering the timing of planting and harvesting, affecting crop growth cycles. - Erratic weather, such as droughts and floods, is causing crop failures and increasing the vulnerability of farmers. - Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are affecting the nutrient content of crops, potentially impacting human health. As professionals in the agriculture industry, it's crucial for us to understand and adapt to these challenges. Together, we can explore innovative solutions, implement sustainable practices, and support farmers in building resilience to climate change. 🌱💪 Let's work towards a more sustainable future for agriculture! #sustainableagriculture #agriculture #agribusiness #agritech

Our AFTC webinar on World Environment Day was a success and we have to thank each of our speakers and partners for their collaborative and collective efforts. And if you missed the event, here are the key highlights from our visionaries: What’s the role of quality seeds in climate-smart agriculture? Dr. Ratna Kumria shares how it all culminates into improved agronomic practices, reduction in pesticide and chemical usage and food waste. How can you reimagine sustainability today? Mr. Puran Singh Rajput enumerates the benefits of ‘Fasal Amrit’, a product that requires less water, fertiliser, offers more yields and is recyclable. Is our planet at a tipping point? Dr.Reena Singh Singh lists how we can all see the impacts of climate change - Earth is warming, rainfall patterns are changing, sea levels are rising and it is expected that the temperature will rise as high as 2.7 degree. What are the gaps that lie between climate change and cuisine? Mr. Om Routray illustrates the disconnect between the grower and the consumer and how best to mitigate it Is inflation a result of lack of supply chain optimisation? Mr. HIMANSHU PANDEY reiterates how climate change affects agricultural supply chains. Thank you everyone for joining!

"The climate crisis is real or a myth."   This question often pops up in our minds every time we feel the scorching sun when we step out of our homes when we look at the crops getting damaged either because of excessive rain or drought conditions. From the apple productivity in Himachal Pradesh dropped due to lack of snowfall or the decrease in wheat production because of weather alterations.   Now the question is “What we can do? “Can we do something or is it late already?”   The answer to this is Yes, a better start than looking at the next generations dealing with food insecurity, distorted weather, and uncurable health issues.   The question is “How can we do it?”   The answer is not a simple one-liner but one major shift or we can say an adaption we can do going forward by incorporating Regenerative Agriculture. A systemic approach that not only eliminates the challenges of climate, and water scarcity but also ensures food security. In the attached document, I have highlighted the pillars of Regenerative Agriculture. Thanks to Sudhakara ganesh for introducing me with the term "Regenerative Agriculture" and explaining the role it plays for forming a better environment.

🌱 Adapting Agriculture to the Changing Seasons 🌍🚜 🔄 Shifting Seasons, Shifting Strategies: Climate change is altering the familiar pattern of agricultural seasons. Farmers around the world are changing their strategies, readjusting planting seasons, and reconsidering old techniques. ⏰ Precision Timing is Paramount: As growth seasons become less predictable, timing becomes more important. Farmers are adopting innovative and data-driven ways to keep ahead of the shifting seasons and maximise output. 🌦️ Navigating Unpredictability: Extreme weather occurrences have become part of the seasonal narrative. From sudden frosts to prolonged heatwaves, farmers are adopting resilience techniques and researching climate-resilient crops. 🌐 Global Collaboration for Solutions: Addressing these shifts demands a concerted effort. Farmers, scientists, and policymakers around the world must work together to create adaptive solutions for a sustainable and resilient agricultural future. 🚀 A Future of Adaptation and Innovation: Agriculture is adapting to accommodate altering growing seasons. We can create a future in which farming flourishes despite changing climates by embracing change, encouraging innovation, and collaborating. 🌾💡 #GrowingSeasons #Adaptation #InnovationInAg #ClimateResilience

🌎 The World Resources Institute estimates that by 2050, we need to grow over 56% more food while using drastically fewer resources per crop. 30% of food is wasted, largely due to pathogens, toxins, pests and climatic stress. ♻️ Our food systems are responsible for over a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions. So, food is a big contributor to rising temperatures, and at the same time, rising heat is also one of the biggest threats to food production. 🎙️ In this episode, we welcome Daniel White Co-Founder and CEO of Clean Crop Technologies, Inc., a company on a mission to get more food onto people's plates with fewer resources while lowering the greenhouse gas footprint of agriculture. ♨️ Daniel and his team have patented an innovative plasma technology for improved crop yields and reduced waste. 🌱 Seed contamination is a major concern for growers and seed companies. Clean Crop's plasma technology ensures contaminant-free seeds, reducing crop loss and waste. Addressing climate change in agriculture is crucial. Clean Crop's cold plasma technology reduces disease pressure, improves crop yields, and cuts greenhouse gas emissions. 🌾 Listen to the full episode via the links below! #hardwaretosaveaplanet #agriculturewaste #sustainability

Global agriculture has been affected by four factors: THE GLOBAL OVERPOPULATION: According to the United Nations, the world population is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030. For this reason, the consequence will be an increased demand for food. CLIMATE CHANGE: Climate change is causing negative impacts on agriculture, such as droughts, floods, and pests. This will reduce food production and make agriculture more difficult and expensive. RESOURCE SCARCITY: Natural resources, such as land, water, and energy, are increasingly scarce. This will pose challenges for agriculture, requiring the use of more efficient production methods. IDEOLOGICAL AND RELIGIOUS WAR: Ideological and religious war is an indirect cause of destroying previously established agricultural systems, through the destruction of their supply chains and loyal customer systems. Consequently, the future of world agriculture will be shaped by three main factors: STABLE GEOPOLITICS: Stable geopolitics will make Southeast Asia and Australia the world's new farms. SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE: Sustainable agriculture will become a general trend shaping the entire world's agricultural products. PRECISION AGRICULTURE: Precision agriculture is the core tool for any agricultural system to adapt to the new era. In short, global agricultural trends depend on the criteria required by each specific market, but facing the risk of global food security, agricultural standards in different countries will gradually approach and become more similar to a globalized common agricultural system simply called a global market with some common-basis standards. #aladyfarmervn #sustainableagriculture #precisionagriculture
