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...

Global Food Production Key Driver Greenhouse Emissions
2016-03-12 06:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
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...

Increased Biofuel Production Could Lead to Global Food Deficit, Study Shows
2016-03-07 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
US - As strategies for energy security, investment opportunities and energy policies prompt ever-growing production and consumption of biofuels like bioethanol and biodiesel, land and water that could otherwise be used for food production increasingly are used to produce crops for fuel.
Impact of Climate Change on Food Production Could Cause over 500,000 Extra Deaths in 2050

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...
