Food systems are the public policy decisions, the national and global supply chains and the public or private individuals and groups that influence what we eat. 1-235574 Thu, 02 Feb 2023 09:44:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Africa https://www.bizcommunity.africa/Article/410/815/234720.html When Mutondwa Phophi began undergraduate studies, she wanted to help alleviate the suffering of smallholder farmers from climate change-related impacts and destructive plant pests. 1-234720 Fri, 30 Dec 2022 10:35:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/815/234678.html We have little chance of tackling climate change and reducing biodiversity loss without a redesign of the world's largest industry: agriculture and food. 1-234678 Thu, 29 Dec 2022 07:15:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/815/234325.html Here's the basic problem for conservation at a global level: food production, biodiversity and carbon storage in ecosystems are competing for the same land. As humans demand more food, so more forests and other natural ecosystems are cleared, and farms intensify and become less hospitable to many wild animals and plants. Therefore global conservation, currently focused on the COP15 summit in Montreal, will fail unless it addresses the underlying issue of food production. 1-234325 Fri, 09 Dec 2022 09:31:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/815/231057.html Agriculture involves a difficult balance between food production and environmental impact. For example, fertilisers can help to achieve good crop yields, but over-using them produces greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. 1-231057 Thu, 01 Sep 2022 10:07:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Africa https://www.bizcommunity.africa/Article/410/650/231086.html Plant scientist Felicity Hayes checks on her crops inside one of eight tiny domed greenhouses set against the Welsh hills.
