‘Heavy metals’ contaminate 17% of the world’s croplands, say scientists Heavy metals are a silent threat to our food – here’s what we can do about it.

‘Heavy metals’ contaminate 17% of the world’s #croplands, say scientists

These #contaminants – arsenic, cadmium, lead, and others – may be invisible to the eye, but they threaten food safety and human #health

Israel’s War Decimated Gaza’s Farmlands and Killed Most of its Livestock The bombing has destroyed agricultural land and poisoned the soil, while Israel’s sweeping blockade has made water scarce for farmers who once provided a third of Gaza’s food needs.

According to the UN, 82% of #croplands, 55% of on-farm irrigation systems and 78% of greenhouses have been damaged, leaving once-productive fields barren. Nearly 70% of #agricultural wells have been damaged

Factors affecting the net ecosystem productivity of agroecosystems on mineral soils: a meta-analysis To optimize agricultural land management for soil carbon sequestration, it is necessary to identify whether agroecosystems are accumulating or gaining carbon. This can be done by determining an agr...

New paper in Agroecology & Sustainable Food Systems! 🌟 On a global scale, #croplands are losing significantly more #carbon than #grasslands, and that a shift towards systems with higher carbon inputs is required if we are to begin to reverse this loss. 🪴 🐄 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Between 2003 and 2019, the main drivers of habitat loss in Protected Areas were deforestation (42%), cropland expansion (32%), built-up land (24%), and pastureland (2%). Deforestation impacted 53% of PAs! #habitatloss #deforestation #croplands
