Drive for production weakens resilience of farming systems: study

The drive for greater productivity in agriculture has led to an unprecedented level of food security for much of the world. But according to an article published by the journal Nature in September, that has come at the expense of environmental stability, making it more difficult to sustain high productivity. Why it matters: Biodiversity loss negatively affects farming systems over time. Experts say improving biodiversity would make agricultural systems more resilient and potentially less expensive for farmers. The authors say future agricultural systems must account for this trade-off and address humans’ historical tendency to prioritize production above all else. The article, “The productivity-stability trade-off in global food systems”, analyzes a wide breadth of humans’ historical management of food systems, and how changes in management affected the size and diversity of organisms in land and aquatic environments. It then looks at how food webs — all the food chains in a singl

Agriculture-specific mental health help targeted for farmers

The Canadian Centre for Agricultural Wellbeing wants to strengthen regional crisis liaisons for farmers. Briana Hagen, chief executive officer and the centre’s lead scientist, spoke at the Animal Health Canada annual forum in Ottawa last month. Why it matters: Dealing with an infectious livestock disease can affect farmers’ mental health. Research on the mental well-being of producers over the past 10 years “paints a bit of a concerning picture,” said Hagan. Stress, anxiety, depression, emotional exhaustion and cynicism are all higher among farmers than the national average. Research out of the University of Guelph in 2022 noted particular declines in farmer mental health during the pandemic. One alarming statistic indicated that suicide ideation was twice as common in farmers than in the general population. An emergency could make that bad situation worse. “What happens when there’s this added stress?” Hagen said. “If African swine fever is here, then what happens?” Many groups
