This time of year there is no shortage of stories about agriculture and climate in the media. Many of them are geared to one place, and of course I tend to look at the ones in the US first. But there are a lot coming from other countries as well. Here are a few that caught my eye in the past few weeks.
This image, taken during a September 2010 drought, shows a line of dead and damaged trees after a surface fire in the Amazon rainforest in western Brazil. When dryer-than-normal conditions exist, fires from the open edges encroach on the forests and burn dry and stressed trees. Under normal conditions, when the rainforests are wetter, this is far less common. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
