This review paper addresses the importance of increasing agrobiodiversity to cope with climate change and, at same time, providing a sufficient amount healthy food. is in agreement messages from ecology and medicine indicating advantages biodiversity general particular for planet our health. Plant breeding considered be one causes decline agrobiodiversity, therefore, this illustrates alternatives commonly used approach based on centralized selection. The first alternative decentralized participatory breeding, which adapts crops both different agronomic environments client preferences, representing an “option by context” model research. second evolutionary more dynamic strategy than plant because it merges decentralization ability mixtures populations biotic abiotic stresses evolve, thus adapting associated changes spectrum pests. A crop capable evolving as environment around evolves appears most ideal way responding agricultural biodiversity.

Navigating nitrogen sustainability with microbiome-associated phenotypes

HighlightsNitrogen fertilizer use has driven reactive nitrogen pools beyond safe limits, threatening environmental sustainability.Microbiome-associated phenotypes (MAPs) are microbially mediated traits that directed by the plant genome and contribute to health, including acquisition retention.MAPs aid biological fixation in non-leguminous crop species sustainable N acquisition.Biological nitrification denitrification inhibition additional MAPs can rhizosphere retention, but their effectiveness requires consideration of factors avoid unintended loss.Advancing MAP development through 'trait stacking' – strategically combining microbiome-associated enhance performance, should also strive ensure systemic adaptations needed for equitable genetic resources.AbstractCrop microbiomes promote health various mechanisms, nutrient provisioning. However, agriculture neglected importance these conventional management approaches originating from Green Revolution. Revolution innovations, such as fertilizers high-yielding germplasm, supported an increase global yields. Yet advances led many issues, disruptions transformations have reduced reliance on acquisition. Overcoming challenges introduced a shift toward ecologically informed agronomic strategies incorporate into breeding decisions.

Adverse environmental exposures worsened by our changing climate threaten respiratory health and exacerbate existing social inequities that further undermine justice (EJ). EJ is the capacity of all people, regardless sociodemographic characteristics, to minimize harmful live a healthy life. achieved through development, implementation, enforcement laws, regulations, policies. In 2023, an American Thoracic Society workshop convened group 39 clinicians, researchers, community advocates, research program administrators, policy experts characterize threats concerns arising from change. The explored four main areas socioecological perspective: 1) risks, 2) impacts in low- middle-income countries, 3) mitigation adaptation strategies, 4) priority infrastructure needs. committee concluded change can directly indirectly impair persistently excluded or marginalized communities (including those countries) are disproportionately impacted.
