crop farming

Smarter crop farming that combats weeds, insect pests and plant diseases by integrating modern technologies like AI-based monitoring, robotics, and next-generation biotechnology with healthy and resilient agricultural ecosystems: One Crop Health, a new research collaboration based at University of Copenhagen aims to reduce the use of pesticides by developing a sustainable agriculture for the future.

Other initial emergency restrictions will include a sharp reduction in the use of water for crop farming and industry, and the capping of water supplies per inhabitant per day.

Rosenberg and David Bird, a professor emeritus of wildlife biology at McGill University, said the study contributes to the understanding of the negative effects of intensive single crop farming.

Adaptation occurs when people who have herded cattle and derived their identity from animals must instead embrace crop farming or beekeeping to survive degraded rangelands.

Markets for carbon captured and stored in agricultural soils have struggled to scale up due to systemic problems with measuring their climate benefit and questions about the permanence of carbon captured by intensive row crop farming.
