Climate change alters soybean yield and nutrition, revealing agricultural vulnerability

Indigenous farming practices emphasize biodiversity and soil health, which can mitigate the negative effects of climate stress on crops. These systems often integrate multiple species, including nitrogen-fixing plants, to maintain soil fertility and resilience.
The study on soybean quality under climate change reveals a systemic tension between industrial agricultural models and ecological resilience.
By focusing solely on yield metrics, mainstream narratives obscure the deeper structural issues of food sovereignty and climate justice. Indigenous agroecological practices and regenerative agriculture offer viable alternatives that align with both scientific evidence and cultural wisdom. Integrating these approaches into policy and research can create more resilient food systems that serve both people and the planet.
