Climate Home: Our food system is not ready to meet the 2C global warming limit agreed by governments. According to research out this week, agriculture alone should be reducing non-CO2 emissions one gigatonne a year by 2030 in order to meet the newly signed Paris Agreement. Further analysis shows that that current agronomic and policy interventions compatible with food production would achieve only 21 to 40% of the needed mitigation to meet agricultures share of the target agreed in Paris.

DOW AGROSCIENCES: WARM SOIL TEMPERATURES LEAD TO EARLY EMERGENCE OF ANNUAL WEEDS Apr. 11, 2016 Source: Dow AgroSciences news release Warm soil temperatures and minimal moisture are creating the perfect storm for heightened weed pressure this spring. As a result, annual weeds are likely to emerge earlier than the past few years because soil temperatures are already warming up, says Kent Bennis, market development specialist, Dow AgroSciences.
Here's How Earth's Soil Can Save The Planet From Global Warming

Nature World: A recent study has found that soil can help fight global warming by reducing carbon emission and decreasing the effect of greenhouse gases on the environment. Researchers and scientists studying ways to save the Earth from global warming found that soil can curb the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which will, in turn, protect the environment from the high rise in temperature. According to the research conducted at the Universities of Aberdeen and Edinburgh, soil is an effective...

World faces soil crisis due to global warming
2016-04-10 13:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
IOL: The world is facing a soil crisis that could badly hit food production, according to alarming new research, which warns that climate change is likely to damage soil fertility much more than expected. A 17-year study, published in the journal PLoS One, into the effect of global warming on microbes -the tiny bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms that determine soil health - reveals them to be far less adaptable to changing conditions than scientists had thought. This raises concerns that...
