When policymakers talk about “green jobs,” they tend to default to examples in solar power, wind and other sources of renewable energy—or perhaps manufacturing and supply chain management. They’re less likely to talk about agriculture.

The South African automobile industry could be faced with exporting 80% less - thereby eliminating half the jobs it provides - if local manufacturers don't get with the global programme and go green.

The global production of food is responsible for a third of all planet-heating gases emitted by human activity, with the use of animals for meat causing twice the pollution of producing plant-based foods, a major new study has found.

Solar panels, wind turbines and lithium-ion batteries are setting the world on course towards a clean energy future.

Since the development of “miracle wheat” in 1954 by Norman Borlaug, the way in which international organisations support and invest in agriculture has changed dramatically.

A global food crisis is looming, so policymakers everywhere need to think hard about how to make food cheaper and more plentiful.

Since the development of “miracle wheat” in 1954 by Norman Borlaug, the way in which international organisations support and invest in agriculture has changed dramatically.

A wind farm in Namibia and a floating solar farm on Zimbabwe's massive Kariba Dam are among the new green energy projects Chinese companies are looking at investing in this year after Beijing pledged to help African countries address their energy problems with renewable sources rather than fossil fuels.

The European Commission is adopting intermediate proposals in its international climate policy as outlined in the European Green Deal.

It is well known that alternative proteins can carry sustainable and ethical advantages over meat, but are we sacrificing our health for the planet’s?

Coastlines – the interface between land and sea – lie at the frontline in the battle against climate change impacts.

No continent has been hit harder by climate change than Africa, and yet none has more potential for a future centered on green energy, a top expert has told AFP in an interview.

Feeding a growing world population has been a serious concern for decades, but today there are new causes for alarm. Floods, heat waves and other weather extremes are making agriculture increasingly precarious, especially in the Global South.

The movement towards organic farming is not merely a trend but a revival of the intrinsic relationship between nature and agriculture.

According to the World Bank, the production of critical minerals essential for renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles, is poised to increase by up to 500% by 2050.

More than three million new direct green jobs, driven largely by solar energy projects, have been forecast for Africa by 2030.

The Green Revolution got off to a rocky start. In the fall of 1944, Norman Borlaug, who would become known as the revolution’s father, moved to Mexico to set up a plant-breeding program. Right away, he came down with a stomach crud. It was, he would later tell an interviewer, “the usual tourist thing,” except that it lasted for weeks.

Scientists have discovered a novel zinc sensor protein, FUN, that acts as a master regulator in this process—helping plants interpret environmental cues and manage nodule efficiency.

Under demographic pressure, growing climate urgency and persistent food insecurity, African agriculture is at a historic turning point.
