What are the challenges & opportunities of climate change? EXAM
Challenges :star:
Outlook
Rainfall
Temperature
0.6-1.3 degree by 2030
Carbon dixoide
now 410 PPM
Less confident in projection
Due to oceans
RCP's representative concentration pathways
#
2.6 (very lucky)
8.4 (business as usual)
6.5 (no coal)
agiculture contribution
Crabon
Methane (11%)
we ocntribute 17% from agriculture
1/2 life of CO2, CH3, NO2
NO2 (fertilizer, legumes...) 300 x worse than CO2
Plant Physiological response
Biotic
difference of C3 vs C4
Plant production
Heat stress
Abiotic
More heat
Less water
French Shultz
WUE
Opportunities :star:
Mitigation
#
Definition
Carbon sequestration
Tree planting (short term fix?)
Role of human intervention
Top down resposnes
Bottom up responses
Efficiency Paradox
Negative feedback loop
Food Culture Change (less meat)
Stationary Energy
More wind/solar
Less carbon fuels
efficient Appliences
Sundrop farms
Adaptation
manage risk
Policy
Systemic adaption
Huge changes in system
digital agriculture
PA, robotics
Block chain
app. of digital tech to trace
big data
Incremental
Minor changes, tweeking (row spacing...)
transfromative
change in land use
increase in urban farming
GHG policy
Technoology
Horticulture
glasshouse (protected cropping)
Phenology
breeding
Irrigation
precision irrigation
Livestock
better quality fodder
Nutrition
Genetics for low methane
Vaccines
rumen micro biology
Twins
Climate smart beef (WEBSITE)
Grains
Precision Agriculture
Plant breding
robotics (labor, weed control)
More head/unit of methane
