At the COP28 climate conference in Dubai in 2023, a commitment was made to phase out fossil fuels by the middle of this century. To meet the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement— keeping global warming below 2°C and preferably 1.5°C—renewable energy capacity needs to triple by 2030. Solar energy is one of the major sources that must be expanded. But while its benefits are undeniable, all human activities have environmental impacts that need to be studied and minimised, including solar power.

Researchers find a 'kernel of truth' in the urgent fight against tar spot of corn

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 04:40:04 GMT

Although discovered in the United States only seven years ago, tar spot has wreaked havoc on corn yield—resulting in an estimated 1.2-billion-dollar loss in 2021 alone. The miscreant behind this devastating plant disease, Phyllachora maydis, is an emergent fungal pathogen whose biology remains obscure. This lack of understanding significantly limits disease management strategies, and no corn germplasm is completely resistant to the pathogen.

It provides fuels for heat and transportation, and chemicals for everything from plastics to pharmaceuticals. But all these uses require separating crude oil into its various components. That separation process—which traditionally relies on heat—takes a tremendous amount of energy and accounts for roughly 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions each year.

Spotted hyenas all sound different when they call

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 06:24:18 GMT

On quiet nights across large swaths of the African bush, you may hear a series of whooping calls in the distance. This unique sound is the long-distance vocalisation used by spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) to communicate with each other.

For hyenas, it’s advantageous to know who is calling before deciding to respond. They don’t treat every member of their group the same – and the caller could even be an intruder in their territory.

Researchers at McMaster University have created a powerful new weapon against bacterial contamination and infection.

Those beads can safely be applied to food and other materials to rid them of harmful pathogens such as E. coli 0157. Each bead is about 20 microns, (one 50th of a millimeter) in diameter and is loaded with millions of phages.

Precision fermentation (PF) is a form of brewing, which sees microflora like yeast or bacteria be genetically engineered to make proteins or fats (rather than beer or bread). This, campaigners say, means that we can create the same ingredients found in animal meat, without the animals.

How to Scale Up Private Climate Finance

Private climate financing must play a pivotal role as emerging markets and developing economies seek to curb greenhouse gas emissions and contain climate change while coping with its effects.

Estimates vary, but these economies must collectively invest at least $1 trillion in energy infrastructure by 2030 and $3 trillion to $6 trillion across all sectors per year by 2050 to mitigate climate change by substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

However, it is less clear whether the gains in economic growth have been shared equally across regions within countries because income data at the subnational level are not always available.

The roots of biodiversity: How proteins differ across species

Sat, 10 Sep 2022 09:30:35 GMT

To better understand what drives biological diversity on Earth, scientists have historically looked at genetic differences between species. But this only provides part of the picture. The traits of a particular species are not merely the result of its genes but also the proteins those genes code for. Understanding the differences between species' proteomes—or all the proteins that can be expressed—is, therefore, as important as understanding differences between genomes.

It will require massive global investments to address the climate challenge and vulnerabilities to shocks. Estimates range from 3 trillion to 6 trillion dollars per year until 2050. The current level at about 630 billion dollars is just a fraction of what’s really needed—and very little goes to developing countries.

African penguin population is crucial

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 08:58:07 GMT

The fragile penguin populations depend on sardines and anchovies for their diet. Competition for fish stocks is high here, with sardine and anchovy fisheries in Algoa Bay targeting the waters around St Croix as it is the closest source. No-take zones contribute to improving feeding conditions for penguin populations. We are urging the minister to immediately close the feeding grounds of South Africa’s African penguin colonies to the sardine or anchovy fishing industry for as long as necessary while their numbers are plummeting.

Professor Lorien Pichegru is Director of the Institute for Coastal and Marine Research at Nelson Mandela University.

Adapting to climate and market change

Wed, 17 Aug 2022 10:13:45 GMT

Warnings about climate change are far from new. What marks summer 2022, is that it has become clear that the season is no longer a warning, but that it has become a reality that we have to face immediately rather than later. The many extreme heat waves, wildfires, droughts, and floods that occur simultaneously across the globe show that climate change is here now, and we need to adapt.

April is gewoonlik die maand met die laagste pryse vir stoorlammers. Bees- en lampryse kan dus dalings verwag en ná Junie/Julie weer te begin styg.

Changes in the sub-Saharan Africa maize trade in the 2022/23 marketing year.

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 05:55:32 GMT

The countries that dominated maize supplies, trailing after South Africa in the 2021/22 season, could fall behind due to an expected reduction in production. These developments are in a season when the demand for maize in sub-Saharan import-reliant countries could remain strong. A case in point is Kenya, where the 2022/23 maize import needs are estimated at 700 000 tonnes, which is a significant volume, albeit down by 13% from the previous season, as local production improved marginally.

Die Noord-Kaap is prominent en waterbesproeiing uit die Oranjerivier is heeljaar beskikbaar terwyl die warm, droë klimaat taamlik stabiel is.

Re-imagining Africa's food future at the intersection of agriculture and conservation

Sun, 13 Sep 2020 08:41:25 GMT

Across Africa, agriculture is the primary source of livelihoods and the majority of households consume at least a portion of the food they produce. All too often, however, the way food is produced, distributed and consumed in Africa is at odds with the natural capital on which both people and wildlife depend. Unsustainable agricultural practices are driving biodiversity loss and leading to increased human wildlife conflict, land conversion and the loss of critical habitats, declines in water quality and quantity, soil degradation, and increased pollution. With Africa 's population expected to grow to 2.5 billion by 2050, there will be even more growing pressure to convert more land for agricultural production, further threatening wetlands, forests, grasslands, soil health, water quality, and the resilience of the smallholder farming communities that depend on them.

In a nutshell, the favourable rains that the Western Cape received in the past couple of weeks, and good soil moisture in other provinces has been of immense benefit to the South African winter crops. We can now safely say – with caution, of course, as the season is still at early stages – that South Africa will not only have one of the good summer crops seasons but a brilliant agriculture season. I have discussed elsewhere the good outputs coming out of the horticulture sub-sector, and also recovery in the livestock industry, which completes the statement I have made about 2020 having been a season of abundance in South Africa’s agriculture.

The importance of research in agriculture- John Deere

Thu, 13 Aug 2020 13:33:26 GMT

Since the start of the agricultural evolution, the sector has been defined by research and innovation to increase productivity to meet the food demand of the world. More recently research and innovation include technology development that is adopted throughout the value chain, comprehensive and inclusive digital solutions, and very importantly ethical and safe practices – both for industry role players, consumers and the environment. In this week’s episode of Tech Terrain Tony Ndoro talks to two distinguished academics on the value of research for the sector. Matome Ramokgopa, Managing Director: Enza Zaden South Africa discusses the application of agricultural research on the African continent. You can also look forward to a discussion with Admire Mutsvario, Business Operations Analyst: John Deere Sub-Saharan Africa (JD SSA) and Hein Snyman, Territory Sales Manager: JD SSA on the 6M tractor, that is all about choice.
