Researchers have analyzed the likelihood of higher yields in conservation agriculture compared to conventional agriculture. This farming practice could be more resilient to global warming by 2050, especially for corn and in arid regions. Conservation agriculture Conservation agriculture limits water and wind erosion and also improves soil carbon storage. It is sometimes the subject of scientific controversy and has been accused of reducing yields. A study by researchers from AgroParisTech and INRAE, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, showed that conservation agriculture often works well for growing crops in areas of high water scarcity. The productivity of this farming … Continue reading Global Food Security: Conservation Agriculture More Resilient to Climate Change
