Ukraine advances demining, clears farmland and reopens Black Sea routes More than 100,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory still remain potentially dangerous. Such data were shared in a post by the Office of the President on Facebook to mark the International Day for Mine Awareness and Mine Action. Current state of mine danger and land clearance “More than 100,000 square kilometers of our country remain potentially dangerous. But Ukraine is doing everything to ensure safety is everywhere. More than 15,000 hectares of agricultural land have already been cleared. This year farmers will again be able to sow them.” – as stated in the post The message also emphasizes that clearance work is ongoing in the maritime area: demining of the Black Sea and all related infrastructure is underway. “Ukraine has already cleared more than 168 square kilometers of its waters. We have restored navigation in the Black Sea and remain one of the key guarantors of global food security.” – stressed by the Office of the President Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko said on Telegram that 1,431 people were injured by mine-explosive injuries, including 146 children. “Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the explosive ordnance disposal units of the State Emergency Service and the National Police have already...

A #farming family in Kentucky has declined a $26 million offer from a corporation planning to build an AI-linked data centre, highlighting the growing tension between digital infrastructure expansion and #farmland preservation.

AcreTrader Delivers over $135M in Investor Returns From Farmland Dispositions FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Acretrader LLC ("AcreTrader"), a Proterra farmland investment platform, announced the successful disposition of 57 farmland assets across 13 states. Funded on the AcreTrader platform between 2019 and 2024, the dispositions generated over $135 million in investor distributions. AcreTrader has now had 75 realizations since inception, representing more than $189 million in total distributions. The transaction includes approximately 16,000 acres of farmland, producing over 10 different crops across 13 states. All farmers with active lease agreements will maintain operational control, ensuring a smooth transition for local producers. AcreTrader believes farmland continues to be an underappreciated asset class given its demonstrated resilience of returns with relatively low volatility. AcreTrader's 75 full-cycle exits highlight the platform's ability to deliver institutional-quality farmland exposure to a broad investor base. "It's encouraging to see such positive results for individual investors who have trusted AcreTrader as their farmland investment partner," said Rich Gammill, Managing Partner at Proterra Investment Partners. "We are proud to offer investors exposure to an asset class that provides price appreciation, current income, and proven wealth preservation, along with the opportunity to invest in American agriculture. Before investors allocate to gold they should consider investing in farmland...

From ruins to harvest: 50 years after devastating floods, Gujarat villages bring lost farmland back to life When floods washed away his family’s farmland in 1973, Hareshbhai Solanki thought he would never farm it again. Five decades later, he is harvesting his first crop in Rustampura village in Gujarat — the 33-year-old has spent the past week cutting tobacco from fields that lay barren for decades. If all goes to plan, the harvest could bring in Rs 2.5-3 lakh, leaving him with a profit of around Rs 1 lakh from his 1.6-hectare farm. For Solanki, the harvest holds meaning far beyond its monetary value, as the last time his family cultivated these fields was in 1973. Unprecedented rains in Thasra taluka of Kheda district were part of one of the most widespread and catastrophic flood events in the region. Solanki’s grandfather, Vitthalbhai, lost their farmland during those floods. “More than five decades ago, heavy rains washed away our agricultural land in just a week,” he told Down To Earth. “When we went back after the rains subsided, there was nothing left.” The destruction was part of the devastating 1973 floods in Gujarat’s Mahi river basin, caused by torrential rainfall between August 26 and September 9 that year. Entire stretches of farmland were eroded, and many families, including...

This conservation practice boosts wildlife species on farmland, new research finds Dense tree cover can be hard to come by in farm country. But new research shows that more trees close to rivers and streams are linked to higher biodiversity. Researchers at the University of Illinois found evidence of an additional land species for every 10 percent increase in trees and shrubs alongside waterways, which scientists call riparian buffers. The researchers collected water from streams and analyzed any traces of DNA they could find in the samples. The process is called environmental DNA metabarcoding, or eDNA. “We detected bobcats that have had a big population recovery in Illinois over the last few decades,” said Eric Larson, who leads the lab that conducted the study. “We detected bats. We detected box turtles. I think those benefits to wildlife also have benefits to people.” Bobcats were hunted to near-extinction in the Midwest, but they’ve been making a comeback since the 1990s. Larson said this is one of the first studies of its kind in the U.S. The sampling method can be as easy as throwing a bucket on a rope off a bridge, so volunteers or farmers can collect samples to support a wide range of conservation research. Larson said eDNA can be...
