    More people, more food… worse water? - Water Pollution from Agriculture: a global review 2018
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Current patterns of agricultural expansion and intensification are bringing unprecedented environmental externalities, including impacts on water quality. While water pollution is slowly starting to receive the attention it deserves, the contribution of agriculture to this problem has not yet received sufficient consideration. We need a much better understanding of the causes and effects of agricultural water pollution as well as effective means to prevent and remedy the problem. In the existing literature, information on water pollution from agriculture is highly dispersed. This repost is a comprehensive review and covers different agricultural sectors (including crops, livestock and aquaculture), and examines the drivers of water pollution in these sectors as well as the resulting pressures and changes in water bodies, the associated impacts on human health and the environment, and the responses needed to prevent pollution and mitigate its risks.

    Carta Mundial de los Suelos revisada 2015
    Also available in:
    Los suelos saludables son un requisito previo básico para satisfacer las diversas necesidades de alimentos, biomasa (energía), fibra, forraje y otros productos, y para garantizar la prestación de los servicios ecosistémicos esenciales en todas las regiones del mundo. Sin embargo, la humanidad se enfrenta a presiones sin precedentes sobre el recurso suelo. En particular, diversos tipos de degradación -incluyendo el sellado debido a la rápida urbanización- está haciendo pagar un elevado peaje, ame nazando la seguridad alimentaria y el equilibrio ecológico. Con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible actualmente en estudio y a punto de ser implementados, es fundamental garantizar un manejo sostenible de los suelos con el fin de que estos objetivos puedan convertirse en realidad.
