A pair of separate studies and multiple corresponding articles over the past week highlight the importance of both precision agriculture and the soil-health movement without actually mentioning those efforts. Multiple reports have cropped up pointing to the long-term impacts of fertilizer in waterways and in the food system.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2023&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5981f6d91eeb1" class="gmail-m_7885826379508819101ArticleLink" style="font-family:Myriad Pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

The New York Times
Nitrogen-based fertilizers, which came into wide use after World War II, helped prompt the agricultural revolution that has allowed the Earth to feed its seven billion people. But that revolution came at a cost: artificial fertilizers, often applied in amounts beyond what crops need to grow, are carried in runoff from farmland into streams, lakes and the ocean. New research suggests that climate change will substantially increase this form of pollution, leading to more damaging algae blooms and dead zones in American coastal waters.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2030&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5981f83dda1f1" class="gmail-m_7885826379508819101ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

National University of Singapore via ScienceDaily
A team of researchers has recently completed a global study on the trade-offs between the benefits provided by tropical forests and its conversion for agricultural use. The team examined deforestation activities of more than 50 countries in the tropics between 2000 to 2012, and identified regions where deforestation is most and least beneficial.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2036&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5981f762b1799" class="gmail-m_7885826379508819101ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Roller crimpers include two key components: a blunt edge and chevron pattern. The blunt edge snaps the stem without cutting it. Severing the stem would essentially be mowing the cover crop, allowing it to potentially grow back. The Chevron pattern includes four pressure points that provide the right weight distribution for matting down the cover crop without kicking up soil.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2057&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5981f46f65f88" class="gmail-m_7885826379508819101ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

There's an unwanted record in the Gulf of Mexico: This year's "dead zone," a largely human-caused phenomenon where there's too little oxygen to support marine life, is the biggest ever measured. The low-oxygen, or hypoxic, zone covers 8,776 square miles (22,720 square kilometers) — about the size of New Jersey, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. The area is more than 3 percent larger than the 2002 dead zone, the previous record.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2063&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5981f60816dce" class="gmail-m_7885826379508819101ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE

Recently 60 delegates from 22 Asian countries took part in a workshop organized by the United Nations in Manila to map out national adaptation plans, or NAPs, which are the main vehicles of countries for climate change adaptation including accessing climate finance. Sunlight, temperature and rainfall are the main drivers of crop production; hence, agriculture is directly affected by climate change. But it should also be noted that agriculture also affects climate change as it is responsible for about one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, a major cause of global warming.  [log in to unmask]&userid=76865145&targetid=&fl=&extra=MultivariateId=&&&2069&&&http://multibriefs.com/ViewLink.php?i=5981f673725c4" class="gmail-m_7885826379508819101ArticleLink" style="font-family:myriad pro,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">READ MORE
