Phosphorus, a nutrient in soil essential for sustaining most forms of life, is increasingly disappearing from land as it is washed into waterways throughout the United States, according to a new study led by researchers […]
A new study reveals alarming risks that pesticides pose to ground-nesting bees, which are crucial for pollination and food production. As agriculture increasingly relies on pesticides to protect crops, the unintended consequences for these essential […]
A new study, conducted by the University of Florida, on heirloom cabbage production sheds light on how different crop management systems affect seed quality. The research highlights the potential for sustainable and resilient farming practices […]
Better educating farmers and food processors about how to avoid post-harvest food losses—which amount to one-third of global food production, worth US$1 trillion annually—would reduce global food insecurity, according to researchers at McGill University.This article […]
Small-scale fisheries play a vital role in providing food and livelihoods for millions of people around the world, particularly in low-income countries in Africa. However, there is limited statistical data on the composition, abundance, and […]
