European Summer Temperatures : Evolution and Impact of the Last Two Centuries

European Summer Temperatures: A Historical Overview Since the beginning of the 19th century, Europe has experienced notable variations in its summer temperatures. According to the EUROSTAT report (2021), the average summer temperature has increased by about 1.5°C between 1850 and 2020, with extreme peaks reaching 40°C in several European countries over the past decades. The decade 2010-2020 was the hottest ever recorded in Europe, with particularly marked summers in 2019 and 2020, where records were broken in France and Spain. NASA data indicates that summer temperatures, particularly in the south and east of Europe, are increasing faster than in other regions of the world, exacerbating heatwaves and increasing the risk of fires. In parallel, the European Environment Agency has noted that...

Regenerative Agriculture Yields: Can We Feed 10 Billion Humans?

Regenerative agriculture yields: current situation and key figures In 2023, more than 820 million people remain undernourished according to the FAO, even as the world population is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. Our current agricultural model, responsible for about 24% of greenhouse gas emissions, also contributes to the loss of 33% of the world's fertile soils. Faced with this impossible equation, regenerative agriculture is gaining ground, driven by pioneers from California to India, who are betting on soil cover, intercropping, agroforestry, and holistic adaptive grazing. A study published in *Nature Communications* (2022) reveals that regenerative practices increase biodiversity...
