Independent: The world is facing a soil crisis that could badly hit food production, according to alarming new research. A 17-year study into the effect of global warming on microbes the tiny bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms that determine soil health reveals them to be far less adaptable to changing conditions than expected. It raises concerns the microbes will not be able to carry out essential functions, such as breaking down leaves and other organic matter in a process which converts them...

Tech Times: Although global food production, animal farming and waste disposal are key drivers of greenhouse gas emissions, they are often overlooked, a new study revealed. Scientists said other greenhouse gases are more abundant than carbon dioxide. When it comes to climate change issues, the spotlight is always on the regulation of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels. However, just focusing on CO2 means overlooking other aspects that drive the rise of global temperatures, a new study revealed. This...

Blue and Green: Climate change could kill more than 500,000 adults in 2050 worldwide due to changes in diets and bodyweight from reduced crop productivity, according to new estimates from the Oxford Martin Future of Food Programme. The research, published today in The Lancet, is the strongest evidence yet that climate change could have damaging consequences for food production and health worldwide. The modelling study, led by Dr Marco Springmann from the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food at the University...
