European agriculture, both crop and animal production, currently faces major challenges such as the need to protect biodiversity, increasing bans or limitations on the use of pesticides, soil quality degradation, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the overarching challenge of climate change. To overcome these challenges, scientific and industrial research and development in agricultural and biosystems engineering, across all areas of agriculture and nutrition, must work together to offer strategic pathways and technological solutions. The AgEng-LAND.TECHNIK 2022 conference, part of both the EurAgEng AgEng and the VDI LAND.TECHNIK conference series, brings together these competences and expertise to provide an arena to connect and drive forward the needed solutions to these global challenges.
Cities, villages and towns in Dane County are pledging to work together on environmentally-friendly projects.
The claim that beef production is always harmful to the environment is simply not true. In fact, sustainable, regenerative land management can sequester or remove carbon from the atmosphere rather than emitting it, while improving animal welfare and offering benefits to the local community.
2020 was, without a doubt, not the year that we hoped it to be. But members of the McGill community have taken these tumultuous times in stride, passing over and around obstacles to continue the push — virtual or otherwise — for a more sustainable campus. The Catalyst Awards for Sustainability, celebrated each spring for the past decade, honour those achievements.
The Antarctic ice sheet could suffer a chain reaction collapse as melting ice exposes land underneath, leaving less heat to be reflected away and causing temperatures to rise further and weather patterns to be changed, a study has warned.
Researchers used climate modeling and data for the Middle Miocene period – which was 13 to 17 million years ago – when carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures were similar to those expected at the end of the 21st century.
How do scientists in the Antarctic minimise the waste generated by their research stations?
