New research maps how and where people resist climate adaptation 

Using resistance as a lens can shed light on entrenched vulnerabilities that underlie climate risks, and on continuing power struggles, according to researchers Ebba Brink, Ana Maria Vargas Falla and Emily Boyd. Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are exp

Organic farms potential for higher yields

The common reed is considered a weed, but in the farmed landscape it can benefit biodiversity as its seeds become food for insects and its pollen is a mummy for some pollinators. Here it grows beautifully in a spring barley field. One of the world's greatest challenges is to feed the world's population in a sustainable way. Organic farming is one option, but the downside is that it produces lower
