Satellite observations show Earth's 'drifting vegetation' could change global agriculture
5+ mon, 4+ week ago (783+ words) Earth’s peak greenness has shifted decisively toward the northeast over the past four decades, establishing a measurable relocation of the planet’s living surface. That steady drift redraws where seasonal plant growth concentrates, altering the geographic balance of carbon uptake and…...
Ancient farming boosted plant diversity, but modern agriculture reversed it
2+ mon, 1+ week ago (955+ words) A new study has found that as farming spread across ancient Europe, plant diversity rose rather than fell. Researchers reading pollen buried in Swiss lake mud tracked the pattern over roughly 7,000 years, and found the land grew richer in species…...
Dairy barn of the future: What if cows could choose where to go?
10+ mon, 1+ week ago (787+ words) What if cows could choose where they wanted to be – inside the barn or out in the field? What if calves could grow up with their mothers instead of being separated early? These aren’t dreamy ideas from a farm-loving imagination....
Changing the food we eat could heal both people and the climate
10+ mon, 4+ week ago (821+ words) Food is deeply personal, but it’s also planetary. How we grow, process, ship and eat now accounts for roughly 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. A sweeping new report argues it doesn’t have to stay that way. With coordinated changes…...
How the world’s farms could become a powerful climate tool
9+ mon, 2+ week ago (673+ words) A new international study argues that the world’s farms could be repurposed into one of the most powerful tools for climate action, if we pick the right interventions and scale them. Led by Queensland University of Technology (QUT), the team…...
Swapping beef for salmon once a week helps the climate
2+ mon, 3+ week ago (851+ words) One simple food swap – replacing a beef steak with salmon once a week – could nearly double the carbon savings of simply continuing current dietary trends. New research has put numbers on what different levels of dietary change would mean for…...
Farm robots reduce need for manual harvesting
4+ mon, 3+ week ago (750+ words) Researchers report that a strawberry-picking robot that blows leaves aside before reaching for fruit raises harvest success in real fields. That gain pushes one of farming’s most delicate jobs closer to machine help, even though people still do it faster....
Parasites rising in canned salmon may signal ocean recovery
4+ mon, 1+ week ago (809+ words) Recent discoveries have shown a rise in parasite counts in pink and chum salmon that was preserved in cans across four decades. This stomach-turning discovery provides a possible sign that parts of the ocean food web are reconnecting with one…...
Eating for the planet: Why half the world must change its diet - Earth.com
8+ mon, 2+ week ago (836+ words) The holidays make it easy to overdo it – then make new year resolutions that will most probably fail. A new study led by the University of British Columbia offers a more grounded resolution: eat enough, not more, and rethink what’s…...
Rising carbon dioxide levels are now detectable in human blood
6+ mon, 1+ week ago (859+ words) Carbon dioxide is a gas that people usually connect with climate change. It traps heat in the atmosphere and makes the planet warmer. But scientists are now asking another important question. Is rising carbon dioxide also changing the human body?...
