Sadly agriculture isn’t the most efficient process, requiring huge amounts of land and resources, and as the human population grows, our food supply will be put under increasing stress. But a new study has shown that farming protein from microbes could… Continue reading Microbes anyone? Study outlines huge potential of solar-powered protein
Food security is a major potential problem, especially in the face of climate change. Now, researchers have shown that manipulating RNA in plants can drastically boost the amount of food they produce, and make them more resistant to drought conditions…. Continue reading Simple RNA tweak boosts potato and rice yields by 50 percent
Bees play a critical role in pollinating many of plants that humans eat and are therefore key to food security, but populations continue to decline rapidly around the world. A number of factors are contributing to this, including habitat loss and droug… Continue reading Pollen-sized particles give bees immunity to insecticides
With the global population continuing to increase and arable land continuing to shrink, there is an urgent need to improve the efficiency of food production, and a new technology developed at the University of Oxford could offer a helping hand. Scienti… Continue reading Scientists discover how tomato ripening can be slowed down and sped up
Scientists at the Salk Institute’s Harnessing Plants Initiative hope to tackle the issues of climate change and food security by unraveling the genomic architecture behind various plant species, and they’ve just gleaned some valuable lessons from the f… Continue reading World’s fastest growing plant offers genomic clues for next-gen crops
The first phase of construction on one of Europe’s largest vertical farm projects is now complete, and the first crop of organic salads and herbs is reported ready for delivery to local businesses.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Ver… Continue reading Wind-powered vertical veggie farm harvests first crops
The future of food security, sustainable agriculture and the environment as a whole call for a lower reliance on traditional meat products over the coming decades, and a newly announced XPrize contest puts this issue center stage. The Feed the Next Bil… Continue reading XPrize launches a $15-million competition to develop alternative meats
With our consumption of meat continuing to place a huge strain on the environment, the emergence of lab-grown alternatives is beginning to pick up steam. A world-first regulatory approval today should help things along, with food tech startup Eat Just’… Continue reading Lab-grown chicken on the menu in Singapore after world-first approval
Taken as individuals, locusts are largely harmless insects much like ordinary grasshoppers, but when gathered together in their notorious swarms they can cause all kinds of environmental destruction. Scientists in China have now identified a key chemic… Continue reading Scientists pinpoint the pheromone that causes locusts to swarm
