Long-term drought pushes summer river flows in Europe to lowest levels since 1992
The share of land in Europe exposed to very strong heat stress this summer reached a record 52%. Due to prolonged drought, European rivers recorded their lowest summer flows since records began in 1992. The Rhine, Danube, Po, Loire, Rhône and Seine rivers recorded record or near-record low flows in July and August.

Elevated CO2 can boost #yields in C3 crops, but also reduces grain mineral levels, esp. of #iron & #zinc and when combined with #drought, warming or low nitrogen. Rising #CO2 levels threaten the #nutrition quality of grains. #Biofortification and other interventions can help: doi.org/10.3389/fpls...

More farmers are showing interest in #sorghum, a #DroughtTolerant grain. The crop is poised to expand in the U.S. – especially if Americans start consuming it.
#HarvestPublicMedia | By Michael Marks
Published September 28, 2026Excerpt: "Sorghum, also called #milo, is a kind of cereal like corn or wheat. It’s versatile — you can grind it into flour, pop it like popcorn, or boil it, like Obenchain did.
"While the U.S. is the world’s leading producer of sorghum it’s hardly a staple here. Yet the grain could become an attractive option for farmers for one reason: it can grow through #drought.
"In order to develop the market farmers would need, though, more Americans have to eat it.
" 'The irony is the United States is the number one [sorghum] growing country in the world, but we either export a lot of it or we use it for other uses like ethanol, animal feed, things like that, and it’s just not as well known,' said Lanier Dabruzzi, director of nutrition and food innovation for the Sorghum Checkoff.
Farming ‘where things are tough’
"In other parts of the world, sorghum is a staple. It’s commonly consumed by people in sub-Saharan #Africa and the #MiddleEast.
" 'Sorghum in #Ghana is largely for food. All the sorghum production we do is targeted for human consumption,' said Kenneth Opare-Obuobi, a Ghanaian sorghum researcher who attended the conference with the Africa Dryland Crops Improvement Network.
"In Ghana, #ClimateChange is pushing more farmers to plant sorghum, according to Opare-Obuobi.
" 'We are equally experiencing highly unpredictable rainfall patterns, and as a result we are having some bit of drought. But it turns out that sorghum is a bit hardy so farmers are tending to now shift toward sorghum,' he said.
"Sorghum thrives in conditions that make other crops wilt. It welcomes heat and tolerates drought. The plant grows deep roots to capture hard-to-reach moisture beneath the soil, according to Sarah Sexton Bowser, director for the Center for Sorghum Improvement at Kansas State University."

As can be seen on the slide in the background of the toot above, through our governance analysis of funding for forest related research, we were able to show a lack of EU funding for smaller, targeted projects; a lack of open calls to be able to react rapidly to urgent topics ( mostly #ClimateChange related such as this years #ForestFires and the ongoing #Drought but also new pathogens such as the #PineNematode ); and a lack of fundamental, collaborative research. And overall mechanisms to better include #SME s. Clearly, some of the stakeholders and EU representatives were listening, given the coffee break discussions I had 😁 For once, it seems that the time invested might bring fruits
