| No-till not always effective to store carbon | No-till should be thought of as just one of many approaches to carbon sequestration, and won’t work everywhere - especially not on poorly drained, clay soils - finds new research from Ohio State University. | Mar 11, 2009 |
| Renewable on-farm energy focus of SARE bulletin | Clean Energy Farming from the USDA’s SARE program is the latest in a series on its most creative research projects. | Mar 11, 2009 |
| Climate change lays waste to Spain's glaciers | Glaciers may be the best current indicator of global warming, melting at a rate far faster than anything that could be attributed to natural climate cycles. | Feb 25, 2009 |
| Interactive map shows CO2 emissions across US via Google Earth | A new high- resolution, interactive map of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels is now available on Google Earth. | Feb 25, 2009 |
| Organic shift would cut GHG in crop production, Canadian researchers conclude | Large-scale environmental benefits can be achieved by a wholesale conversion of Canadian corn, wheat, soy and canola production to organic farming methods, say researchers at Dalhousie University’s School for Resource and Environmental Studies, Faculty of Management. | Feb 19, 2009 |
| Polar ice caps melting faster | The ice caps are melting so fast that the world's oceans are rising more than twice as fast as they were in the 1970s, scientists have found. | Feb 09, 2009 |
| Improved logistics cut carbon impact of local food | A study by the University of Exeter compared “food miles” for customers shopping individually for local food versus having food delivered, and found that a mass delivery of local vegetables, although encompassing more miles, amounted to a lower carbon footprint per person. | Feb 04, 2009 |
| Biofuels more harmful to humans than petrol and diesel, warn scientists | Some biofuels cause more health problems than petrol and diesel, according to scientists who have calculated the health costs associated with different types of fuel. | Feb 04, 2009 |
| Research forecasts glimmers of credible voluntary carbon standard for pasture | Altering grazing practices and improving grassland and rangeland management worldwide may have the power to sequester 1.3 billion – 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030, say researchers at the World Agroforestry Center in Beijing. | Jan 27, 2009 |
| Quick and cheap fix for carbon footprint: grow more reflective crops | Research from the University of Bristol shows that crops reflect sunlight back into space to varying degrees, lessening the greenhouse effect and cooling the planet. | Jan 22, 2009 |
