Along the drought-stricken Colorado River, the federal government has recently been funding programs that pay farmers to temporarily reduce water use in exchange for payments.
There are many strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture (this is one of the goals of climate-smart agriculture). Mitigation measures in the food system can be divided into four categories. These are demand-side changes, ecosystem protections, mitigation on farms, and mitigation in supply chains.
That said, please plan to join us in the Fairfield County Ag Center at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec, 2 beginning when we will explore feed management strategies for times such as these and the drought ...
Resistance to drought is a quantitative trait, with a complex phenotype, often confounded by plant phenology. Breeding for drought resistance is further complicated since several types of abiotic stress, such as high temperatures, high irradiance, and nutrient toxicities or deficiencies can challenge crop plants simultaneously.
Failure to develop adequate drought mitigation strategies carries a grave human cost in the modern era, exacerbated by ever-increasing population densities. Strategies for drought protection or mitigation include: Dams – many dams and their associated reservoirs supply additional water in times of drought. [98]
The state environmental department's longer term tips for reducing water usage are: Repair or replace leaking hoses and sprinklers. Use an automatic shut-off nozzle on hoses.
Deficit irrigation (DI) is a watering strategy that can be applied by different types of irrigation application methods. The correct application of DI requires thorough understanding of the yield response to water (crop sensitivity to drought stress) and of the economic impact of reductions in harvest. [1]
Strategies to limit climate change are complementary to efforts to adapt to it. [10]: 128 Limiting warming, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and removing them from the atmosphere, is also known as climate change mitigation. [citation needed] There are some synergies or co-benefits between adaptation and mitigation. Synergies include the ...
