I am proud to work in agriculture.
Higher yields saved land.
Higher yields fed billions.
How? Science.
→ Better seeds.
→ Better fertilisers.
→ Better farming techniques.
People who say “go back to nature” actually want “go back to hunger”.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Il y a un agresseur : la Russie.
Il y a un peuple agressé : l'Ukraine.
Nous avons tous eu raison d'aider l'Ukraine et de sanctionner la Russie il y a trois ans et de continuer à le faire.
Nous, c’est les Américains, les Européens, Canadiens, Japonais et plusieurs autres.
Merci à tous ceux qui ont aidé et continuent. Et respect à ceux qui, depuis le début, se battent. Parce qu'ils se battent pour leur dignité, leur indépendance, pour leurs enfants et pour la sécurité de l'Europe.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Dear Volodymyr @zelenskyyua, we stand with #Ukraine in good and in testing times. We must never confuse aggressor and victim in this terrible war. (FM)

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.

🌱 Soil is much more than just dirt beneath our feet.
It is a living and breathing ecosystem that supports agriculture, biodiversity, water cycles and even our climate.

The 2024 Brian Chambers award is now open for entries - for early career researchers in crop nutrition all around the world, and not just in universities. Now in its 10th year, entry involves just a 1 page form, + a poster for finalists. Info & entry form: buff.ly/43TyMzn

A lot of N going on as MAP/DAP in the fall months in the Corn Belt, with very high loss risk. Example: if half of Illinois acres going into corn receive 200 lb DAP/ac, that is 198 million lb N, which is +11% than the state's nitrate-N reduction target. We need TSP.

A successful #Rice green #field day in #Coumbacara, #Senegal today. Our lead #farmer Ruby demonstrated to other farmers how she used #4Rs to plant rice in 3 demo plots & compared the growth in each field that were treated w #organic fertilizer, #inorganic & no #fertilizer. – at Senegal

Great meeting today with Abdoulay Mballo our lead #farmer in #Kolda, #Senegal. It was harvest day of the #maize demos where he shows other farmers how to use #4Rs. We set up 3 maize demo plots on his farm this year with #organic, #inorganic & no #fertilizer to compare yields. – at Senegal

Fertilizers help restore #soilhealth by putting essential nutrients back into the ground after harvest.

This report includes an element missing from other analyses:
It is entirely possible to cut N2O emissions by 30% on many individual farms. But, nationally, you must account for relative participation that will be less than 100% - and highly dependent on the size of incentives.
Increased 4R adoption could reduce fertilizer emissions across Canada by 14%, says new report commissioned by @FertilizerCA and @canolacouncil. More details, links, and interview with @FertCanadaPres: realagriculture.com/2022/09/…
