Russia has ‘strategically lost’ war, says UK defence chief, as Lavrov says Moscow unashamed ‘Russia is not squeaky clean. Russia is what it is’ – Kremlin foreign minister’s response to UN report claiming atrocities in Ukraine. The head of the UK’s armed forces has said Russia has already “strategically lost” the war in Ukraine and is now a “more diminished power”. Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said Russia was suffering heavy losses, running out of troops and advanced missiles and would never be able to take over all of Ukraine. “This is a dreadful mistake by Russia. Russia will never take control of Ukraine,” Tony Radakin told PA Media in an interview published on Friday. The country’s highest-ranking military officer said the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, had lost 25% of Russia’s land power for only “tiny” gains and it would emerge a “more diminished power” while strengthening Nato. “Russia has strategically lost already. Nato is stronger, Finland and Sweden are looking to join,” he said. Radakin said that while Putin may achieve “tactical successes” in the weeks to come, it had come at the expense of a quarter of his country’s army power for “tiny” gains and was running out of troops and hi-tech missiles. “The Russian machine is grinding away, and it’s gaining a couple of – two, three, five – kilometres every day,” the admiral said. “And Russia has vulnerabilities because it’s running out of people, it’s running out of hi-tech missiles. “President Putin has used about 25% of his army’s power to gain a tiny amount of territory and 50,000 people either dead or injured. Russia is failing.” …/… See theguardian.com Weekly newsletters about ICT in Agriculture in English and French Both newsletters have around 14000 subscribers. >>> Last weekly EFITA Newsletters in English (created in 1999) Efita Newsletters >>> Last weekly AFIA Newsletters in French (created more than 20 years ago in 1997) Afia Newsletters >>> Statistics for the last efita newsletter >>> Last issue of the afia newsletter >>> Last available satistics for the afia newsletter 1 The Bell Inn, by Richard H.

McCain launches regenerative agriculture project in South Africa, AFN, by Lucy Ngige McCain Foods, the world’s largest producer of frozen potato products, has unveiled plans for its second “Farm of the Future,” this time in South Africa. The project is part of the company’s drive to cut carbon emissions and tackle the impacts of climate change; it follows its first Farm of the Future that launched in Canada around a year ago. McCain has identified two South African locations totaling 465 hectares of irrigated land and 90 hectares of dryland on which it will grow 125 hectares of potatoes each year for use across the country using regenerative agriculture practices. These techniques, as outlined in McCain’s newly-released regenerative agriculture framework, include ensuring farm resilience, armoring soils — preferably with living plants, enhancing crop and ecosystem diversity, minimizing soil disturbance, reducing agro-chemical impact and optimizing water use as well as integrating organic and livestock elements. Working with 85 growers on this land, the project in South Africa will focus on enhancing productivity, while prioritising soil health, water efficiency, the reduction of agro-chemical inputs, and the introduction and preservation of biodiversity. McCain plans to open three Farms of the Future in different growing regions around the world by 2025. …/… See agfundernews.com The field report: Tom Vilsack on how the USDA can transform the food system, Civil Eats, by Lisa Held, June 2, 2022 We sat down with the Secretary of Agriculture to learn about the agency’s priorities around nutrition security, climate action, and equity. Plus: more news from a busy week at the USDA. Improving the food system may not seem like a top priority at a time when tragedies due to the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the climate crisis, and gun violence abound. But yesterday morning, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack kicked off a speech at Georgetown University arguing that, in fact, how the U.S. farms and eats is tied to many of the biggest problems the country faces. “A transformed food system is part of how we as a country become more resilient in the face of these big challenges and threats,” he said, as he outlined the key components of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) new Food System Transformation Framework.

The tricky restructuring of global supply chains, The Economist Three years ago The Economist used the term “slowbalisation” to describe the fragile state of international trade and commerce. After the go-go 1990s and 2000s the pace of economic integration stalled in the 2010s, as firms grappled with the aftershocks of a financial crisis, a populist revolt against open borders and President Donald Trump’s trade war. The flow of goods and capital stagnated. Many bosses postponed big decisions on investing abroad: just-in-time gave way to wait-and-see. No one knew if globalisation faced a blip or extinction. Now the waiting is over, as the pandemic and war in Ukraine have triggered a once-in-a-generation reimagining of global capitalism in boardrooms and governments. Everywhere you look, supply chains are being transformed, from the $9trn in inventories, stockpiled as insurance against shortages and inflation, to the fight for workers as global firms shift from China into Vietnam. This new kind of globalisation is about security, not efficiency: it prioritises doing business with people you can rely on, in countries your government is friendly with. It could descend into protectionism, big government and worsening inflation. Alternatively, if firms and politicians show restraint, it could change the world economy for the better, keeping the benefits of openness while improving resilience. After the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, the lodestar of globalisation was efficiency. Companies located production where costs were lowest, while investors deployed capital where returns were highest. Governments aspired to treat firms equally, regardless of their nationality, and to strike trade deals with democracies and autocracies alike. Over two decades this gave rise to dazzlingly sophisticated value chains that account for half of all trade: your car and phone contain components that are better travelled than Phileas Fogg. All this kept prices low for consumers and helped lift 1bn people out of extreme poverty as the emerging world, including China, industrialised. But hyper-efficient globalisation also had problems. Volatile capital flows destabilised financial markets. Many blue-collar workers in rich countries lost out. Recently, two other worries have loomed large. First, some lean supply chains are not as good value as they appear: mostly they keep costs low, but when they break, the bill can be crippling. Today’s bottlenecks have reduced global gdp by at least 1%. Shareholders have been hit as well as consumers: as chip shortages have stalled car production, carmakers’ cashflows have dropped by 80% year on year. Tim Cook, the supply-chain guru who runs Apple, reckons such snafus could reduce sales by up to $8bn, or 10%, this quarter. Covid-19 was a shock, but wars, extreme weather or another virus could easily disrupt supply chains in the next decade. The second problem is that the single-minded pursuit of cost advantage has led to a dependency on autocracies that abuse human rights and use trade as a means of coercion. Hopes that economic integration would lead to reform—what the Germans call “change through trade”—have been dashed: autocracies account for a third of world gdp. Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has painfully exposed Europe’s reliance on Russian energy. This week McDonald’s in Moscow, which opened in 1990, restarted under local control. Big Macs are no longer on the menu. Meanwhile, President Xi Jinping’s ideological and unpredictable China has a trade footprint seven times as big as Russia’s—and the world relies on it for a variety of goods from active pharmaceutical ingredients to the processed lithium used in batteries. One indication that companies are shifting from efficiency to resilience is the vast build-up in precautionary inventories: for the biggest 3,000 firms globally these have risen from 6% to 9% of world gdp since 2016. Many firms are adopting dual sourcing and longer-term contracts. The pattern of multinational investment has been inverted: 69% is from local subsidiaries reinvesting locally, rather than parent firms sending capital across borders. This echoes the 1930s, when global firms responded to nationalism by making subsidiaries abroad more self-sufficient. The industries under most pressure are already reinventing their business models, encouraged by governments that from Europe to India are keen on “strategic autonomy”. The car industry is copying Elon Musk’s Tesla by moving towards vertical integration, in which you control everything from nickel mining to chip design. Taiwan’s electronics assemblers have cut their share of assets in China from 50% to 35% since 2017 as clients such as Apple demand diversification. In energy, the West is seeking long-term supply deals from allies rather than relying on spot markets dominated by rivals—one reason it has been cosying up to gas-rich Qatar. Renewables will also make energy markets more regional. The danger is that a reasonable pursuit of security will morph into rampant protectionism, jobs schemes and hundreds of billions of dollars of industrial subsidies. The short-term effect of this would be more volatility and fragmentation that would push prices yet higher: witness President Joe Biden’s consideration of new tariffs on solar panels, which he paused this month in the face of shortages. The long-run inefficiency from indiscriminately replicating supply chains would be enormous. Were you to duplicate a quarter of all multinational activity, the extra annual operating and financial costs involved could exceed 2% of world gdp. >> The trouble with safe spaces .../...

Data explorer on the monkeypox outbreak Monkeypox is a disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. Its symptoms include fever, head and muscle aches, and bump-like lesions on the skin; in some cases it can be fatal. Monkeypox is transmitted between people via contact with lesions, body fluids such as respiratory droplets, and contaminated material such as bedding. Beginning in May 2022, cases of monkeypox have been reported in several countries in which it is not normally found, including the US, Canada, Australia, and several European countries. We published a data explorer to track the latest reported data on the 2022 monkeypox outbreak, produced by the Global.health team. Ever less agricultural land to feed ever more people

Millions of children learn only very little. How can the world provide better education to the next generation? For many children, schools do not live up to their promise: in many schools, children learn very little. This is a problem even in rich countries. For instance, by the end of primary school, about 9% of children in high-income countries cannot read with comprehension. But lack of learning tends to be a much larger problem in poorer countries. In this article, we take a broad look at the lack of learning in school: what explains this problem and how we can do better. While the quality of education has improved over time in many countries, there are still large inequalities in learning that mirror—and reinforce—economic inequality.

See okp4.network Wild mammals are making a comeback in Europe thanks to conservation efforts The European bison, the continent's largest herbivore, was once abundant across the region. But over time, deforestation and hunting caused its numbers to decline dramatically. By the early 20th century the European bison had gone completely extinct in the wild, with only tens of individuals surviving in captivity. The bison is no outlier, and many other animals have suffered similarly. But it doesn’t have to be this way—and the bison shows it. The European bison has made an impressive comeback over the last 50 years. Successful conservation efforts have seen their numbers rebound, and Europe is now home to more than 2500 of them. In this article, we look at the change in mammal populations across Europe and find that many species are making a comeback. Once on the brink, iconic animals such as the European bison, Brown bear, and elk are thriving once again. Ending our COVID-19 testing data updates We started building our COVID-19 testing dataset in March 2020 to provide essential context for the data on confirmed cases and deaths, as well as insight into the pandemic and how it spread. Beginning 23 June 2022, we will no longer add new data points to our testing dataset. In the earlier stages of the pandemic, this metric was extremely important; now it is much less insightful than before. There are several reasons for this, including a shift in public health authorities’ focus away from testing and case metrics to other endpoints, such as hospitalizations, deaths, and excess mortality. We will continue to collect and publish data on all of these important other metrics in our COVID Data Explorer. We update this data every day. In this article, you can read more about our testing dataset, our decision to stop updating it, and alternative sources of testing data.
Rooted in healthy soil: Conservation practices deliver economic rewards Thirty years ago, an Iowa farmer was forced by circumstance to seek an alternative way to till his fields. That decision made out of necessity delivered unexpected economic, soil health, and yield rewards for Wayne Fredricks. As a result, Fredericks is a passionate proponent of no-till agriculture. When an early freeze in 1991 hindered his ability to plow his fields, Fredricks turned to no-till by circumstance, leading to a complete shift on his operation. “Our soybeans grew well that summer; the weed control was good; and the yields were good,” he said. “I became an adopter of no-till soybeans overnight.” A colleague at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service approached Fredericks with their hypothesis that conservation practices could improve productivity and asked if he would be willing to share his data. He saw this as an opportunity to get expert eyes on his data and accepted. “Looking back at the 18-year study by the USDA Agricultural Research Service of my farm’s data, the biggest revolution was an improvement in water-use efficiency,” he says. “Because my soil health was improving, I was raising more bushels per inch of water as the years progressed. This improvement far exceeded the change in normal trend-line yields, and the key was focusing on organic matter.” .../... See agdaily.com How long and how much?

Does the growing of Bt maize change abundance or ecological function of non-target animals compared to the growing of non-GM maize? A systematic review, by Michael Meissle, Steven E. Naranjo & Jörg Romeis .../... >> Implications for policy Our review provides evidence that Bt maize represents a highly selective pest control technology with relatively few negative consequences on a wide array of taxa associated with maize production, especially when compared with the alternative use of broad-spectrum insecticides for managing Bt-targeted pests. The Bt maize transformation events that have been cultivated commercially worldwide have all gone through regulatory environmental risk assessments that concluded that no unacceptable risks for non-target organisms and biodiversity exist [2, 73, 74]. Our systematic review generally supports these conclusions. >> Implications for research Our results largely agreed with prior meta-analyses focused on or including Bt maize. The robust approach ameliorates many of the shortcomings of prior analyses, such as level of analysis, data-dependence issues, and consideration of internal and external validity. One shortcoming of this current review and all prior ones, however, is the limited availability of appropriate data (in particular raw data) with the consequence that some data had to be estimated (rather than calculated) for the quantitative analyses, while other datasets could not be analyzed at all. Future articles should make full datasets publicly available to foster future meta-analyses and focus on taxonomic groups and geographies that are under-represented in the current database. More research is recommended on experimental plot sizes necessary for a better representation of farm scale conditions for animals with mobile life stages and multiple generations per season. Furthermore, research on the biological relevance of differences in field populations is needed. For example, some evidence suggests small changes in abundance do not impact biological control function in Bt cotton [75]. That is, even if statistical differences in experimental studies and meta-analyses are observed, how are such differences linked to ecosystem functions and can they lead to harm?
