Farming practices that result in higher levels of carbon in agricultural soils could protect both wheat and barley harvests in a future changed climate. This is what emerges from a new study from Lund University in Sweden. However, the practices required are more costly for farmers in the short term, according to the researchers who argue for targeted environmental payments. Ongoing climate change

When humans are ill, we tend to be less active. This also applies to wild animals, but so far, it has not been known how long the reduced activity lasts or which activities are affected the most. New research from Lund University in Sweden shows that birds' activity decreases for up to three weeks when they become ill - something that could mean the difference between life and death. The researche

A new paper explores the current use of satellite technology in forest-risk commodity (e.g. palm oil or cocoa) supply chains, combining dynamic capabilities theory and a multi-tier SSCM framework. Sustainability issues typically occur far upstream in companies’ supply chains, yet companies have limited visibility into these distant supply tiers and often do not know their indirect suppliers. With
