A natural blue joins the @FAOWHOCodex standards for the first time.💙

Jagua blue from Colombia, used for generations by Indigenous Peoples, is now recognized as a safe food colour, opening new markets while protecting consumers.

😟 The increasing use of precautionary fungicide applications in Australian canola is cause for concern.

What may seem like cheap insurance could be a longer-term risk to canola production.

Weigh the pros/cons of fungicide use & follow the #AFREN Fungicide Resistance 5 principles: https://t.co/YllS2lRCsM

Plant microbiome improves drought resistance:
Drought stress increases plant 4-oxoproline and enriches Streptomyces & Leifsonia spp. in wheat rhizosphere. These changes enhance plant drought resistance & have lasting legacy effects

This afternoon (13:00 Berlin time), the second video of my new channel 'Life in the Soil' will be released, on World Soil Day.

I hope you will like it. It explains about our work on soils and global change.

#WorldSoilDay2024 Caring for soils: measure, monitor, manage. We took a moment today to gather and enjoy cake and conversation to appreciate the service of our soils!

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

Soil is more than just dirt. It is a living ecosystem that supports biodiversity and food security.

On this #WorldSoilDay & every day, let's show our love and gratitude for this precious resource.
