New research discovered that wildlife such as bees, bats, and birds significantly boost macadamia nut production through natural pollination and pest control.
The research has uncovered that streams in agricultural areas emit significant amounts of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, primarily due to nitrification processes in agricultural soils.
Acquisition strengthens capabilities in plant and animal breeding programs.
The report titled “The Potential for U.S. Agriculture to Be Greenhouse Gas Negative,” prepared by the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers in Action (USFRA) and the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST), demonstrates the potential for U.S. agriculture to offset its carbon footprint and contribute positively to climate change mitigation.
An Australian-led initiative secures a slot on a lunar lander to test agriculture beyond Earth.
The company has begun installing phytotrons, an innovative climate chambers.
New study highlights the unexpected environmental risks of bio-based materials.
Novel technology may replace traditional agriculture with solar-powered indoor farming. Scientists believe that they could make genetically modified plants that eat acetate — an organic molecule produced by a solar-powered chemical reaction.
Recent study highlights benefits of organic fertilizers in fighting climate change.
The research also focuses on how wildfires affect water infiltration and soil structure, described as a “shake and bake effect” that alters the soil’s properties.
Nitrogen fertilizer impact on soybean yields found minimal.
Research highlights potential benefits and challenges in using nanotechnology for agricultural advancements.
