Fossil fuels aren’t just heating the planet. They’re leading to major biodiversity harm. Last year’s changes to the EPBC Act won’t do nearly enough to address the damage fossil fuels are doing to our environment.

In sub-Saharan Africa, soil degradation threatens maize yields as much as climate change An international study published in Global Change Biology, coordinated by CIRAD in collaboration with 32 institutes, reveals that declining soil fertility could have a greater long-term impact on agricultural yields than climate change itself.

Dr. Tarje warns that soil degradation is a slow-moving crisis: once soils are damaged, recovery takes years. As climate extremes intensify, global grain production could fall by 15–30% by 2040–2050 just as demand keeps rising.

Figure 1 in Chavez-Rico et al. (2026): "Cumulative CO2 emissions from the treatments with differently pretreated organic amendments (OAs) during a one-year soil column incubation experiment in the dark at 22 ± 0.5 °C during the day and 14 ± 0.5 °C at night. CK = control with no OA addition; CP = addition of composted OA; DG = addition of the solid fraction of OA digestate; FM = addition of fermented OA; MX = addition of the 1:1 mixture of composted and fermented OAs; UO = addition of unpretreated OA (65% meadow hay and 35% dog food). Error bars are standard errors of the means (n = 4)."

🇺🇦 Ukraine, once the world's breadbasket, now faces a critical challenge as soil degradation impacts its ability to produce vital crops that fed over 400 million people before the 2022 invasion. 🌾

#GreenAgriculture #SIF2025 The review of different experiences of implementing green agriculture in different geographical areas highlights the need for adaptation to their respective characteristics and vulnerabilities. #ClimateChange, #BiodiversityLoss and #SoilDegradation are common to most areas

So done (in) with this now. 🥵

And still no rain this summer ...

Toms are roasting on the vine, most of our other food crops are fried too

Trends in duration of cropland soil exposure during 2001–2022.

[3/3] Des pratiques agricoles plus durables (cultures pérennes, couverture végétale, réduction du labour) limitent les pertes en carbone organique du sol. En Inde, ces pratiques ont permis de réduire de 25 jours la durée d’exposition moyenne des sols agricoles en 20 ans. #geography #soildegradation

Globally increased cropland soil exposure to climate extremes in recent decades - Nature Communications This paper uses satellite data from 2001 to 2022 to analyze soil exposure in croplands. It shows that while soil exposure duration declined in 57% of croplands, 86% face more climate extremes, threate...

[1/3] Entre 2001 et 2022, 86% des terres agricoles mondiales ont été davantage exposées à des extrêmes climatiques (chaleur, pluie, vent). Cette exposition prolongée fragilise les sols nus et accélère leur dégradation, notamment dans les zones riches en carbone. #geography #soildegradation

Why does this matter?
These changes indicate soil degradation, potentially reducing the soil’s resilience to future climate change stressors like droughts, heatwaves or heavy rainfall.

#BECCS won’t save us 🌾🚫. A new study shows massive bioenergy plantations remove far less CO₂ than expected and could harm ecosystems 🌍. Real climate action means cutting emissions, not just planting crops for fuel. #ActNow ⏳🔥
