Experts detail the abundance of diverse “unconventional water sources.” Tapping a fraction can help meet fast-growing global freshwater needs. UN and partner water experts say…
Tomatoes that have been gene-edited to produce vitamin D, known as the sunshine vitamin, could be a simple and sustainable innovation to address a worldwide…
“Just shrinking the size of our current food system won’t cut emissions much. Instead, we need to transform the very nature of that global food…
An international team of scientists has discovered a way to produce higher quality wheat. The researchers from the University of Adelaide and the UK’s John…
Biologist Xinnian Dong says her “best Christmas gift ever” arrived in the form of a phone call. The call was from her longtime friend and…
When plants are faced with conditions that are too dry, salty, or cold, most of them try to conserve resources. They send out fewer leaves…
Substituting 20% of meat from cattle with microbial protein — a meat alternative produced in fermentation tanks — by 2050 could halve deforestation, a new…
To assess how climate warming will change risks such as crop failures and wildfires, it’s necessary to look at how the risks are likely to…
A protein that permits the fungus that causes white mold stem rot in over 600 plant species to overcome plant defenses has been identified by…
An USDA Agricultural Research Service-developed line of bees that naturally has low levels of Varroa mites is more than twice as likely to survive the…
An outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in chicken and turkey flocks has spread across 24 U.S. states since it was first detected in Indiana…
Researchers have untangled puzzling patterns of sinking and rising land to pin down the underground locations where water is being pumped for irrigation. Scientists have…
Selective breeding sustainably protects honey bees from Varroa mite. A new breed of honey bees provides a major advance in the global fight against the…
When plant geneticists find a gene that improves crop yields, they want to try to insert that same change into other crops. But Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory…
Scientists have produced a map showing where the world’s major food crops should be grown to maximize yield and minimize environmental impact. This would capture…
In the context of trade-offs between land use and biodiversity, LMU geographers have simulated land saving potentials for agriculture. With rising global demand for agricultural…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is on the cusp of driving an agricultural revolution, and helping confront the challenge of feeding our growing global population in a…
