What do you do if climate change threatens the future of Agribusiness?

Climate change has started threatening future of Agriculture and Agribusiness. Before embracing technology, educating farmers and creating awareness about sustainable agriculture is important. Farmer's need to understand the different between big loss of soil fertility with short term productivity gain versus small loss of yield initially with long term gain of quality and productivity. Farmer's should not depend on government to provide support. It is the farmer and farming community together has to take action now, before getting late. The action or the investment could be on sustainable agricultural practices to start with such as low tillage, crop diversification, cover crops etc followed by embracing technology if finances available.

Para maximizar as oportunidades é importante conhecer o mercado, entender os próprios pontos-fortes e manter uma mentalidade de crescimento para inova??o contínua.

first realize that any decision you make because of Climate Change is a fools bargain .... there is no such reality only the meaningless buzzwords

Embracing technology is essential for agribusiness to effectively adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Technologies such as precision agriculture, drones, sensors, and data analytics offer valuable tools to optimize resource use, enhance crop resilience, and mitigate environmental impact. By harnessing these innovations, agribusinesses can improve efficiency, increase productivity, and build resilience against climate-related challenges, ensuring a sustainable future for food production amidst changing environmental conditions.

Smart technologies are essential to mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis. Even though smart technologies are essential tools to push us forward, se do also need a paradigm shift to make it all work. We also need to make these technologies accessible to many, including small and medium scale farmers.

Diversifying crops reduces risk of loss of investment due to harsh weather conditions as a result of climate action. Its important grow varieties especially climate resilient crops and non climate resilient one for a balance. A good example will be intercropping Maize with Beans, beans fix nitrogen in the soil, befitting maize growth.

Diversifying crops is crucial for agribusiness to mitigate the risks posed by climate change. By cultivating a variety of crops, farmers can spread their risks and reduce vulnerability to extreme weather events or pests that may disproportionately affect a single crop. Diverse crop rotations also promote soil health, reduce the need for chemical inputs, and enhance ecosystem resilience. Additionally, exploring and incorporating climate-resilient crop varieties can further bolster the resilience of agribusinesses to changing environmental conditions, ensuring continued productivity and food security in the face of climate uncertainty.

Inevitável, o uso de transgêneros é a máxima, agora o equilíbrio da natureza tem de ser feito como contrabalan?o ambiental, fazendas com alto desempenho tem de ser compensadas com fazendas organicas com menor produ??o e maior perda, para compensar o desequilíbrio ambiental de eliminar a cultura de pragas, pois tem de haver estas para equilíbrio ecológico

With anything, the key is diversification helps Spread the risk and increases the gains. It also makes for year round business and is better for the soil! Keeps things interesting.

"Water wisdom" encapsulates the essential understanding and effective management of water resources within the context of climate change and agribusiness. It emphasizes the importance of sustainable water use, efficient irrigation techniques, and conservation practices to mitigate the impacts of water scarcity and ensure the resilience of agricultural systems. Water wisdom involves adopting innovative technologies, promoting water-saving practices, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders to safeguard water security for both current and future generations.

Irriga??o tem de haver, porém florestas e matas ciliares tem de ser mantidas e criadas, n?o haverá como equilibrar o clima com vastid?o de planta??o e terra crua, haverá de ter agricultura verde compartilhada com florestas

Water is absolutely crucial for agriculture in most parts of the world. And we need a wide portfolio of solutions for sufficient water, including rainwater harvesting and storing, efficient use, and minimizing leakages. That is a growing interest in Nature-based Solutions, ancestral hydrotechnologies (such as stone weirs in ephemeral streams) as well as cutting-edge data-driven applications for precision irrigation.

encompasses the practices and principles aimed at preserving and enhancing soil health within the framework of agribusiness and climate change. It involves strategies such as conservation tillage, cover cropping, crop rotation, and organic farming methods to promote soil structure, fertility, and resilience. Soil care emphasizes the importance of maintaining soil biodiversity, reducing erosion, and mitigating soil degradation to sustainably support agricultural productivity and ecosystem services. It underscores the recognition that healthy soils are essential for food security, water conservation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.

Propriedades de nutrientes se esvai com arados de discos por oxida??o destes a luz solar, temos de fazer o mínimo de desagrega??o na terra e retirada de vegetal a terra tem que ser coberta por restos vegetais e haver uma umidifica??o e decomposi??o de planta??o antiga, com rela??o a água seguimos com o exemplo de matas para que provoque a precipita??o, pois chove muito onde se tem florestas

Beyond fortifying agricultural resilience, the adoption of reduced tillage, cover cropping, and organic amendments holds profound implications for climate change mitigation. Healthy soils serve as a significant reservoir for carbon sequestration, drawing down atmospheric carbon dioxide and storing it in stable organic forms. By enhancing soil organic matter through these practices, farmers not only bolster soil health but also contribute to the vital process of carbon sequestration, mitigating the impacts of climate change. The cumulative effect of widespread adoption of soil-centric practices in agriculture could prove instrumental in achieving broader sustainability goals and fostering a more resilient and climate-resilient food system.

Policy engagement may entail collaborating with policymakers, industry associations, advocacy groups, and other stakeholders to shape policies that promote innovation, investment, and responsible practices within the agricultural sector. It also involves communicating the needs and perspectives of agribusinesses to policymakers and advocating for policies that address challenges such as climate change adaptation, water management, soil conservation, and market access. By engaging in policy dialogue and advocacy, agribusinesses can contribute to creating an enabling policy environment that fosters resilience, competitiveness, and sustainability in the face of climate change.

Development of policies that criminalizes any human activities which poses threats to the climate. Any system of farming that is not sustainable should be a crime and constant advocating for sustainable agricultural practices will keep changing local farmers from the conventional ways of farming to modern systems. This directly addresses the knowledge gap and protects the climate and the future of agribusiness.

Esclarecimento e a saída, se fizermos da alimenta??o obriga??es e deveres, haver?o decis?es jurídicas parciais por poder financeiro. A tecnologia e auxílio real governamental sem imposi??es legais s?o a solu??o. O agronegocio tem a tendência ao latifúndio por este ponto, na teoria n?o pode, na prática s?o os grandes latifundiários que dominam, e só ver.

Everyone’s voice and votes matter, from the lowest level to the top level. Everyone and everything starts somewhere and grows. So everything level counts. You definitely can’t complain if you’re not involved.

There is nothing better all the way around for all of us then community involvement. It teaches, reaches and nurtures everyone and everything in its circle. Good for the soul!

1) All of the things that have been recommended in this article to "fight climate change" are things you should be doing anyway. 2) Read up on Malthus and try to understand why he was wrong. 3) Only implement technology that increases profit. A bankrupt farm cannot produce food.

Well Agriculture is being threatened every time by climatic change. Well over here in Africa, Nigeria precisely,we have to improve our soil by applying some organic fertilizers and enhancers like poultry droppings and other waste from animals. Also building gutters around farms to reduce erosion. This method is not yet widely adopted yet but with time we hope it is adopted so as to reduce erosion disturbance and flooding also. We also encourage terracing in farmlands that are on valleys.
