Quality of bio‐based fertilizers is decisive for improving soil quality in Europe—A meta‐analysis Organic matter is a vital component of soils and decisive for soil health and sustainable food production. Agricultural soil use often decreases soil organic matter stocks and climate change may aggr...

Racism and hate have no place in football or society. The chant ‘Nazis out!’ shows the power of unity against hate. Football is the world game, built on unity, diversity, and respect—it’s for everyone. Our voices can champion equality. Together, we are stronger #NoToRacism

Best performances of visible–near-infrared models in soils with little carbonate – a field study in Switzerland Abstract. Conventional laboratory analysis of soil properties is often expensive and requires much time if various soil properties are to be measured. Visual and near-infrared (vis–NIR) spectroscopy o...

Simon's (Oberholzer) conclusions were only possible by using #IR spectroscopy. He sampled six agricultural plots with a high temporal and spatial resolution during one winter (>2'500 samples).

Was eine Welt ohne Hunger kostet Neue wissenschaftliche Studien, die das Entwicklungsministerium vorgestellt hat, zeigen: Es ist möglich den Hunger auf der Welt zu besiegen. Doch dazu braucht es politischen Willen - und viel Geld.

Elon #Musk besitzt jetzt 400 Mrd.$. Für gerade mal 14 Mrd.$ pro Jahr ließe sich der Hunger in der Welt beenden und damit eine große Fluchtursache beseitigen.
Natürlich ist es viel billiger, einfach gegen Migranten zu hetzen. Warum finden das so viele gut?
