What’s new: Some impacts on farming that we had not considered before.
Why it’s important: According to the article, 40% of farms could be impacted. We all gotta eat, so that’s important.
What else to know:
We are more than halfway through 2025, but the risk is not decreasing. At least not for interference with GPS and other GNSS. Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research say that while overall amount of solar activity oscillates with the 11 year cycle, the kind of large solar events that disrupt satnav can happen anytime and are independent of the cycle.
It’s not just about GPS & GNSS. Other sectors and systems need to be hardened.
