In the past century, man-made fertilizers have significantly boosted crop production - allowing farmers to produce more food on less land. However, it came with the price of dealing with greenhouse gas emissions, leading agriculture to become the second-largest source of climate change pollution.
There are many scientists and professionals working to make fertilizer more sustainable. For example, former civil engineer and now agricultural expert Amet Selman serves as the CEO and President of AAA Holding Group Ltd, which is known for its significant efforts put forth to improve the conditions of the agricultural industry and make the platform one of the best fertilizer manufacturing plants from all over the world.
All of his efforts have been made possible thanks to his extensive understanding of the UKs manufacturing landscape and leveraging his vast network in order to facilitate the company's international and domestic expansion. Moreover, he has also worked hard to develop a leadership style that allows him to focus his actions and operations towards innovation, exclusivity, and integrity to boost the success rates of AAA Holding Group Ltd.
Selman talks about how climate change poses a serious threat to farmers all over the world. Veteran farmers are aware of how agriculture is highly dependent on ideal weather conditions - this includes ideal weather conditions, including low and high temperatures, wind intensity, rainfall, and other variables. And as a knowledgeable professional renowned in the agricultural sector, he puts forward ideal strategies that farmers can utilize to produce more food and simultaneously adapt to climate change.
Integrating Systems Like the Crop-Livestock-Forestry
Researchers have spoken about how diverse agricultural systems lead to a greater ability to adapt to climate change. Instead of thinking of the farm as one kind of production, it would be ideal to start considering integrated systems that are combined into one of the four combinations - crop and livestock, livestock and forestry, livestock, or crops and forestry.
According to the results produced by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, it was found that integrated systems can produce energy, food, fiber, timber, and non-timber forest products within the same area and at the same time. They also provide several adaptation benefits, such as making farms more resilient, reducing soil erosion, improving productivity, reducing the impact of extreme weather conditions on crops, and so much more.
Rehabilitating Degraded Pastures
Degraded lands tend to be prone to erosion, and as a result, they retain less water, which leads to less nutritious grass for feeding the animals and contributes to the low-productivity of livestock production.
The ideal way to rehabilitate degraded pastures is by applying fertilizers, recovering them by planting native grass or forage, or even introducing trees into the pasture to avoid any soil erosion. Rehabilitation of these areas also offers benefits when it comes to climate adaptation - including increased air humidity, improved resistance against droughts and heatwaves, reduced local temperatures, and bringing in more resilience against natural disasters. It has also proven to bring about positive effects on water availability and soil erosion.
