“…[ 64 ] A separate study assessed archived wheat grain samples collected from 1950 to 2016 and discovered an imbalance in carbohydrate/protein content after the 1960s. [ 65 ] Notably, uptrend increases in CO 2 and temperature were observed in the same time period, suggesting climate change may have impacted both yield and the nutritional content. In 2018, Zhu et al pointed to altered food nutritional content as a result of rising CO 2 levels.…”

The substantial increase in global population and climate change, among other factors, have led to global food security and supply chain challenges. The United Nations has laid out an agenda to sustainably achieve zero hunger by 2030 as one of its sustainable development goals. However, sustainably achieving improved food yield has become a challenge as excessive use of fertilizers has also led to adverse environmental impact. To address the aforementioned challenges, WisDM Green, an artificial intelligence (AI)‐based platform that aims to pinpoint and prioritize compound (e.g., biostimulants) combinations in peat moss, is harnessed to sustainably improve the yield of Amaranthus cruentus (red spinach). In this proof‐of‐concept study, from a pool of eight compounds, WisDM Green‐pinpointed combinations (6‐benzylaminopurine/ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid iron (III) (6‐BAP/EDTA‐Fe) and humic acid/seaweed extract (HA/SWE)) achieved 26.34 ± 15.80 and 33.59 ± 14.60 increase in %Yield, respectively. The study also indicates that compound combinations may exhibit concentration‐dependent synergies and thus, properly adjusting the concentration ratios of combinations may further improve plant yield in the context of sustainable farming.

Some Methods to Improve the Quality of Animal Dung and Compost for Better Yields and Quality

In this article some measures are discussed to improve the yields and quality of organic (and conventional) agriculture with sea minerals, ditch dredge and rock flours.Sea minerals restore the health of plants, animals and men. These sea minerals result in healthy urine and dung of the animals. This dung is a good basis for a healthy plant growth. The dung should also be mixed with carbon rich materials (straw; elephant grass; natural hay) and with earth, stone meal or ditch dredge. By binding the nutrients with carbon and earth particles the putrefactive microbes are avoided and in this way the breakdown of organic nutrients in inorganic salts is prevented. The symbiotic microbes hold the upper hand. They transform the nutrients in microbial protein and other organic compounds, and, once in the fields, help the plants to collect the organically bound nutrients from the soil and humic compounds and transport them to the plants.Rock flours are also a good source of fresh macro and trace elements. The preferable type of rock flour depends among others on the type of soil, and the already available elements. Microbes are necessary for freeing the elements from the rock flours.The yields and the quality in organic agriculture rise then for three reasons: more plant available macro and trace elements for the crops. And the presence of the symbiotic microbes which free and supply the nutrients for the plants. To support these farmers in animal husbandry should give less protein and especially less Non Protein Nitrogen and Non Protein Sulfur in the feed of the animals in order to improve the quality of the dung and the compost.For many centuries farmers used salt, sea minerals, earth, ditch dredge and rock flours to improve the quality and quantity of the animal dung and plant residuals. And although some scientists have confirmed their results, the overwhelming majority of modern agricultural science has ignored this and persisted her own ideas about the necessary mineralization of nutrients before plants can take them up as salts for their growth.Farmers who buy artificial fertilizers pay yearly 100-150 billion US dollars solely for the pollution of the environment, because of the huge losses of nitrogen and phosphate. Also a lot of potassium is lost, but the effects of potassium salts on the ecosystems are not investigated.

Summary Climate change and pathogen outbreaks are the two major causes of decline in Mediterranean holm oak trees (Quercus ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp.). Crown‐level changes in response to these stressful conditions have been widely documented but the responses of the root systems remain unexplored. The effects of environmental stress over roots and its potential role during the declining process need to be evaluated. We aimed to study how key morphological and architectural root parameters and nonstructural carbohydrates of roots are affected along a holm oak health gradient (i.e. within healthy, susceptible and declining trees). Holm oaks with different health statuses had different soil resource‐uptake strategies. While healthy and susceptible trees showed a conservative resource‐uptake strategy independently of soil nutrient availability, declining trees optimized soil resource acquisition by increasing the phenotypic plasticity of their fine root system. This increase in fine root phenotypic plasticity in declining holm oaks represents an energy‐consuming strategy promoted to cope with the stress and at the expense of foliage maintenance. Our study describes a potential feedback loop resulting from strong unprecedented belowground stress that ultimately may lead to poor adaptation and tree death in the Spanish dehesa.
