Pondering what to do with the allotment plot...
This year was pretty rubbish, because of early heat waves, draught, the water pump would be dry most of the times I would go there. So nothing really grew.
My pond also has a leak.
So... Thinking of redoing the pond, probably deeper and larger. Be a friend to biodiversity that has suffered lots this summer...
And plant more patio sized trees and bush fruits such as raspberries and hazelnuts. With lots of mulching... They may provide some welcome shade for other plants, their leaves falling in autumn can become more mulch, and they have deeper roots that may not need as much watering...
Also I won't need to go as often to grow anything, which is a bonus as spare time is sparse...

Are High-Income Countries Vulnerable To Drought - A Review
--
<-- shared paper

H/T UF Water Institute
The paper reviews current research to assess the state-of-the-art and identify research gaps on drought vulnerability in high-income countries
--
Drought is a hazard that impacts millions of people globally each year and that can have significant impacts on societies, economies, and ecosystems. Limited research has been focused on drought vulnerability in high-income countries partly because many are located in traditionally water-rich regions. However, recent droughts in 2022 and 2023 demonstrate that these countries can also be adversely impacted. This paper reviews current research on drought vulnerability in high-income countries with the aim of assessing the state-of-the-art and identifying research gaps. A systematic literature search identified 144 records, of which 71 studies were retained for full-text review. Of these, 33 had a global scope, 31 focused on Europe or European subregions, and only 6 focused on North America. Oceania and Asia were only represented in global studies. The literature was strongly sectoral, with agriculture being the most studied sector (17 studies), followed by trees/forestry (12 studies), while only a small number of studies assessed vulnerability across multiple sectors. A main finding of the review is that there are substantial differences in drought vulnerability within countries, which are not necessarily related to physical water scarcity, but to differences social, economic, and local and/or regional governance and policies. The findings also highlight the fact that there is no standardized concept for drought vulnerability, making assessments challenging to compare. In addition, the review highlights the lack of cross-sectoral drought vulnerability studies and a limited understanding of cascading impacts and gives recommendations for further research to aid a more comprehensive understanding of the impacts of drought

'Im repeating an experiment the writer Sarah Miller performed seven years ago. In 2019, she posed as a prospective homebuyer and toured several properties in Miami Beachs most climate-threatened areas, asking realtors whether each place might one day flood, or worse, be swallowed by the rising sea. The resulting story, published by Popula, is one of my all-time favorite pieces of climate writing. Titled Heaven or High Water, it shines absurd light on what its like to be an average buyer considering investing in deeply precarious real estate. As Miller toured high-risk properties, realtors confidently assured her that pumps and raised roads had fixed the flooding that Miamis millionaires and billionaires wouldnt allow large-scale climate damage to occur and that in spite of all scientific projections, nothing is going to happen. Afterwards, Miller checked those assurances with actual scientists. You can imagine what they had to say.''

BOLDERs Approach Unlocks New Opportunities for in and

By Neil Palmer, Digest Contributor
30 June 2025

"During the first few hours of daylight before the sun gets high and its too hot outside experimental fields at the ( ) research station in Cotonou, , are buzzing with activity. irrigation systems pump water to stands of , and , while field workers patrol the plots.

"These kinds of experiments are crucial to understanding how the crops perform. But they only tell part of the story. Conditions at research stations tend to be closely controlled, while in farmers fields, where in the end the crops will have to prove themselves, things can be more varied and challenging. Also, a crucial component is missing from the on-station trials the farmers themselves. Their preferences are critical in determining whether a crop succeeds or fails in the real world.

"To overcome these shortcomings of research station experiments, the Crop Trusts BOLDER project uses a novel approach: triadic comparison of technologies, or tricot for short. Thats a complicated name for a simple concept that has nothing to do with highly stretchy fabric: engaging farmers as 'citizen scientists' to conduct trials on their own farms, under local conditions, and report the results. The technologies in this case .

"In Benin and , the vegetables undergoing tricot trials are and . These are generally overlooked species that havent received the scientific attention given to staples like rice or maize. But they hold great promise as climate-resilient, nutritious, and profitable options for farmers in many parts of Africa. Thats why they are often referred to as opportunity crops.

"Tricot trials help scientists test these crops with lots and lots of farmers under diverse, real-world conditions. In addition to giving farmers a first and close look at that may be unfamiliar to them, the trials provide scientists with insights into plant performance and farmer preferences, which can then feed into breeding and other research efforts."

The immediate task at hand is to thin the invisible heattrapping blanket. If we implement super pollutant solutions before 2030 and scale to full potential in less than10 years, the rate of warming can be reduced by 30% by 2040s. But we need to cut the rate of warming by half, i.e. 50%

Fifteen That Could Help Build More Food Systems

By Natalia Rodriguez, 7 September 2026

"What if some of the crops best suited to improve nutrition, support farmers and strengthen are already growing in fields across but they are just overlooked

The crops featured in Opportunity Crops for Systems include , , , , , , , , , , , , , and .

These crops were not chosen randomly. More than 250 farmers, researchers, genebank experts, private-sector and government representatives provided input. They helped identify crops true to local priorities and opportunities in each of the four African countries, and now genebanks are focusing on those crops.

The publication explores each crop's history, biology, nutritional value, cultivation practices, conservation status, market opportunities and development challenges. Together, the profiles paint a picture of food systems that are more diverse, adaptable and rooted in .

This demonstrates the importance of listening to farmers and local communities. Their knowledge, experience and continued stewardship have helped conserve these crops and the diversity they represent.

The opportunity is not to replace the crops the world already depends on, but to widen the field of possibilities. By conserving, improving and investing in crops that farmers and communities already know, we can build food systems with more options for better nutrition, stronger livelihoods and greater .

Opportunity Crops for Sustainable Food Systems shows that some of those options are already here, waiting to be recognized and put to use.

This publication presents 15 opportunity crop profiles from across West and East Africa, selected through stakeholder consultations held in , , and as part of the . Each crop profile explores the crops history, biology, nutritional characteristics, production systems, cultivation status, processing challenges and market opportunities."

The facility, which was granted planning permission last year despite pushback from local residents, was set to be built in Killala, Co Mayo by Mayo Data Hub Ltd, part of US firm Avaio Digital.
