🌱☀️ What if plants had sunglasses? Researchers at UC Davis have designed a multilayer “Cool-Cover” film that reflects heat but lets through the light plants need for photosynthesis. This breakthrough could make greenhouses far more energy- and water-efficient—vital for agriculture in hot, dry regions. . From California’s Central Valley to the Middle East, this innovation could help farmers save resources while keeping crops productive.

🌱 Improving vineyard resilience: good practices for soil conservation and carbon storage 🌱 This Technical Article reveals game-changing practices that are helping Mediterranean vineyards combat climate challenges while storing carbon Key breakthrough findings: ✅ On-farm composting reduced external inputs by 70% and fuel use by 10% ✅ Pruning debris integration increased soil organic carbon by 60-73% when combined with mulching ✅ Strategic cover crops can sequester up to 15 tons C/ha by 2050 ✅ Green manure provides stable carbon storage with 38% organic matter stability index Showcasing proven solutions from Operational Groups across Europe - from Italy's OLTREBIO composting success to France's innovative carbon modeling with the AMG simulation tool. These aren't just environmental wins - they're economic game-changers for farmers facing increasing climate pressures. The agro-food system contributes ~30% of global emissions, making soil carbon sequestration through 'carbon farming' essential for our sustainable future. 🔗 Read or download the full Technical Article to discover practical implementation strategies https://lnkd.in/dexucVGC ➡️ Explore all CLIMED-FRUIT research and results: https://lnkd.in/dx4a8u9e #ClimateAdaptation #MediterraneanAgriculture #PerennialCrops #Innovation #Sustainability #ClimateResilience #Agriculture #CLIMEDFRUIT Institut français de la vigne et du vin (IFV) Vinidea CIHEAM Bari South Eastern Europe Advisory Service Network (SEASN) AVA-ASAJA (Associació Valenciana d'Agricultors) APPITAD - Mirandela UNE - Asociación Española de Normalización Hellenic Mediterranean University

Carbon Friendly registers Australia’s first soil carbon project under VCS; Pioneering the pathway to reward regenerative farming. Carbon Friendly has achieved a groundbreaking milestone with the official registration of its soil carbon project, VCS 4118: Ground-Truth Australian Orchards, under Verra's VM0042 methodology for Improved Agricultural Land Management. This landmark project is the first globally to apply the Measure-and-Re-measure quantification approach, relying on actual annual soil testing rather than the more common modelling pathway. By directly measuring carbon stored in soils, Carbon Friendly sets a new benchmark for transparency, scientific rigour, and credibility in carbon markets. The credits generated will also become the first Australian soil carbon credits available on the voluntary carbon market, unlocking an opportunity for companies to support local farmers and fund the transition to regenerative agriculture. “This registration is a tribute to the resilience and innovation of both our people and the farmers who trusted us on this journey,” said Dr Francois Visser, Founder and CEO at Carbon Friendly. “It demonstrates that soil carbon projects can deliver both climate impact and meaningful benefits for farming communities.” Backed by its early supporters and a dedicated team, Dr Majella Mumford, Quan Nguyen, Maria Batool, Gayathri Rajagopal, Carbon Friendly is already scaling its efforts with four additional soil carbon projects under development across Australia, the United States, and Africa. With agriculture at the frontlines of both climate risk and opportunity, this achievement positions Carbon Friendly as a global leader in delivering credible, farmer-focused carbon solutions that drive measurable environmental and social impact.
