  • Risotto crisis: the fight to save Italy's beloved dish from extinction.

    Risotto crisis: the fight to save Italy's beloved dish from extinction.
    After drought devastated prized arborio and carnaroli harvests in the Po valley, new rice varieties offer a glimmer of hope. But none are yet suitable for use in the traditional recipe.

    Italy is Europe's largest rice producer, growing about 50% of the rice produced in the EU. Most of its rice fields are in the Po valley, which stretches across much of the north of the country. It is in these fields that the unique risotto rice varieties, such as carnaroli and arborio, are grown.

    Francesco Avanzi, hydrologist at CIMA, looks at a glacier plateau in the Aosta Valley. This small alpine region contributes over 20% of the water that flows in the Po basin. Francesco is researching the water cycle and mathematical models for climate forecasting as well as spreading awareness on the importance of managing water resources. - "Europe used to be rich in water. We were used to think that water will always be there, but this is not going to be the case in the future, especially in areas like the Alps, where glaciers were an important component in the summer. Another challenge is the fragmented decision-making process, where different authorities with different responsibilities are not used to manage this issue in a homogeneous way. "

    This is an eddy covariance sensor. Eddy covariance is a micrometerological method currently popular for direct observation of the exchange between ecosystem and atmosphere in terms of gas, energy, and momentum. Over recent years, with the unceasing progress made in computer acquisition, data processing capacity, and sensors, especially the development and improvement of ultrasonic wind meter and high-performance CO2 analyzer, eddy covariance is gaining popularity. ARPA useses this system to assess the impact of climate change on forests, as well as the efficacy of planting trees as a climate change mitigation strategy.

Hundreds of varieties are planted in numbered lines, each addressing different issues that rice might face in the future, such as droughts, extreme heat, diseases and invasive species. From these experimental crops, an older variety named Prometeo (Prometheus), was bred to develop deeper, more vertical roots. Line 81 from the Prometheus crop, officially named PRM81, was identified as a promising candidate for a drought-resistant rice, therefore nicknamed the "Rice of the Future".

  • ‘We need reservoirs built’: drought leaves UK farms begging for government aid

    ‘We need reservoirs built’: drought leaves UK farms begging for government aid
    As crops shrivel in the fields, farmers around the country are calling for urgent action from the Tory leadership.

    It last rained on the Euston Estate, near Thetford in Suffolk, a fortnight ago, although the 6mm that fell evaporated almost immediately on contact with the parched earth. Before that, the farm hadn't seen any rain since June, said Andrew Blenkiron, director of the estate belonging to Henry FitzRoy, 12th Duke of Grafton.

    The hot weather meant winter wheat and barley could be harvested early on the estate’s 2,428 hectares (6,000 acres) of farmed land. But it also meant lower yields: wheat was down by a quarter, and barley by 10%, although higher prices helped soften the blow. The lack of water is critical for crops still in the ground - onions, potatoes, sugar beet - and for livestock including cattle and pigs.

    Blenkiron wants to see changes to the planning system, to expedite the construction of water storage facilities on farms: "We need reservoirs built next summer, to fill up the following winter."

    ‘We need reservoirs built’: drought leaves UK farms begging for government aid
    As crops shrivel in the fields, farmers around the country are calling for urgent action from the Tory leadership.

    It last rained on the Euston Estate, near Thetford in Suffolk, a fortnight ago, although the 6mm that fell evaporated almost immediately on contact with the parched earth. Before that, the farm hadn't seen any rain since June, said Andrew Blenkiron, director of the estate belonging to Henry FitzRoy, 12th Duke of Grafton.

    The hot weather meant winter wheat and barley could be harvested early on the estate’s 2,428 hectares (6,000 acres) of farmed land. But it also meant lower yields: wheat was down by a quarter, and barley by 10%, although higher prices helped soften the blow. The lack of water is critical for crops still in the ground - onions, potatoes, sugar beet - and for livestock including cattle and pigs.

    Blenkiron wants to see changes to the planning system, to expedite the construction of water storage facilities on farms: "We need reservoirs built next summer, to fill up the following winter."
