Triple Pundit
Without drastic changes to our global food system, as many as 122 million more people could slip into extreme poverty by 2030. That's the upshot of a report released by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization. The report, released just ahead of the meeting of the 43rd Committee on World Food Security, highlights the close relationship between climate change, poverty and food security.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2024&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5810c9e3e4601" class="gmail-m_1344457157812013340ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Weeds are getting harder to control not only because of an increasing resistance to herbicides, but also because the hardiest species are survivalists. Yet, weeds have their limitations, and exploiting these in a synergistic, whole-system approach offers potential for significant control. Whole-system weed management is a multitactic approach comprising complex rotations, no-till, cover crops, synergism, and soil health.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2031&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5810d43e4aa11" class="gmail-m_1344457157812013340ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Soil is the unsung-hero of our food system. We depend on it to grow the food we put in our bodies, yet we treat it poorly, compacting it with tractors, depleting it of nutrients, and filling it with chemicals. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that globally, 25 percent of soil is degraded. Team BioNurse, a project of the Ceres Regional Center for Fruit and Vegetable Innovation in Chile, has come up with a creative way to help combat this degradation, one that turns to nature for inspiration.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2037&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=58111d9702205" class="gmail-m_1344457157812013340ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Areas of the Arctic play a larger role than previously thought in the global nitrogen cycle — the process responsible for keeping a critical element necessary for life flowing between the atmosphere, the land and oceans. The finding is reported in a new study of the continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean published in the journal Nature Communications.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2043&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=58111d7da1c4e" class="gmail-m_1344457157812013340ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Industry research has shown that 42 percent of consumers are willing to pay more for products that are certified according to standards — from farm to table.

Eight years ago, Jeremy Geske noticed a need for research on agricultural water quality. There was a lot of finger pointing and inaccurate information going around and he wanted to help do something about it to get better data and solutions. The Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center was the product of this concern. It is a non-governmental coalition of farming groups all over the state, representing more than 50,000 farmers, ranchers and allied industry professionals.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2062&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=58111d5f70a44" class="gmail-m_1344457157812013340ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Cover crops. It's almost as if it's just part of the art of farming these days. While it's true that not everyone uses the practice, it's getting more attention every day. There are management issues associated with the use of cover crops, yet producers are finding ways around those issues to succeed.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2069&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5810d3becc551" class="gmail-m_1344457157812013340ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The Tennessean
The Environmental Protection Agency criticized Tennessee state regulators for significant shortcomings in their enforcement of the Clean Water Act and other federal pollution laws. Auditors, in a report released in late September, found the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation neglected to penalize permit holders despite months of documented pollution, failed to assess appropriate fines and didn't report sewage overflows from major facilities, among other findings small and large.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2075&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=58111d36d7729" class="gmail-m_1344457157812013340ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The Des Moines Register
Agriculture continues to be the backbone in both the rural and urban counties within Iowa's economy. As Iowans, we can always be proud of our reputation for providing world-class food and much-needed energy resources to our nation and our world, but as stewards, we need to be diligent about the safety and quality of our water. We all desire to have safe, clean water. We must do something to clean up the unacceptably high number of rivers and lakes in Iowa with poor water quality.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2081&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5810cfaac0ca0" class="gmail-m_1344457157812013340ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE
