🌱 SEDEMA and the CORENADR distributed 193 sacks of romerito seeds to support local agriculture after recent flooding. This initiative aims to help producers recover from the impacts of heavy rains. Learn more about this initiative and its significance for the local agricultural community in our full article on Mexico Business News. #Agriculture #Romerito #SEDEMA #CORENADR #LocalFarming

Queensland cattle farmers Tom and Antionette Archer used their RIC Drought Loan to invest in their soil to improve their drought resilience. Having felt the full brunt of the 2018-19 drought, and experienced "the driest period in the area for 100 years", the Archers took advantage of RIC's low interest rate and interest-only terms for the first five years. Their freed-up cash flow helped the Archers to improve the soil quality on the property and address the amount of bare ground, low plant species diversity and high-water runoff. The Archers have been able to increase the carrying capacity on parts of the property from 8 stock days a hectare to more than 20.

This is an example of how a focus on soil health creates a lot of value benefits. Check out the story below. #regenerative #agriculture #soilhealth

The preliminary scale of flood damage to agriculture is known. The flood has affected 120,000 hectares of agricultural plots (more than 2% of all agricultural land in #Poland), and 27,000 hectares have not been harvested this year. Jouke Knol | Olaf K.

How is #aquifer depletion connected to loss of #drought resilience? In the Spring Issue of Irrigation Today, DWFI Director of Policy Nicholas Brozovic shares how groundwater depletion makes agricultural production more physically and economically vulnerable to drought risks, both now and in the future.

🌧️☀️ Understanding yield differences caused by extreme weather: key to adapting farming strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change in the future. Research shows that extreme #weather impacts vary significantly between fields and farms due to factors like differences in soil types, irrigation practices, and nutrient management. Sandy and loess soils, for example, are more susceptible to drought but less to heavy rain. #Extremeweather #ClimateChange

Consider this: hurricanes can devastate clam farming by stirring up sediment, depleting oxygen, and drastically altering the water quality. Studies show that after hurricanes, mortality rates among clam beds soar to nearly 90% in some areas, decimating their crop and leaving farmers with nothing. And here’s the part that’s especially challenging: unlike other farmers, clam farmers can’t just replant. #blueatlasproject #fyp #clams #farming #environment #viral #supportlocalfarmers

The unforgiving floods swept away over 14 tonnes of red onions. This is a big loss for local farmers, who were counting on this harvest. Not only is this a financial hustle, but it also means a potential shortage of red onions in the coming months. #floods #agriculture #redonioncrisis What is your farming story?
