A Curtin University study has revealed breeding less-flatulent cows and restoring agricultural land could significantly reduce rising methane emission levels, which play a considerable role in climate change.

It’s not a single pesticide or virus stressing honey bees, and affecting their health, but exposure to a complex web of multiple interacting stressors encountered while at work pollinating crops, found new research out of York University.

A scientific review has found almost no research studying the interconnections across three major threats to planetary health, despite UN assessments suggesting one million species are at risk of extinction, a global pandemic that resulted in over six million excess deaths, and a record-breaking year of global temperatures.

Honey bees—plump, fuzzy and famed for their honey-making—capture the popular imagination.

In the quest to optimize crop productivity across environments, soybean breeders test new cultivars in multiple locations each year.

CSU researchers show promising results from first year studying the viability of pairing winter peas with water conservation payments.

Rotating crops, conserving soil nutrients and deploying other strategies to “diversify” agriculture all at the same time can deliver major benefits for the environment and people alike—including increased crop yields and improved food security for entire communities.

California, a state known for its aggressive greenhouse gas reduction policies, is ironically the nation's greatest emitter of one: sulfuryl fluoride.

Arsenic is a toxic metalloid of natural origin. Arsenic-contaminated soils and waters are found all over the world, especially in southeastern Asian countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, and China.

Researchers at McGill University have come up with an innovative approach to improve the energy efficiency of carbon conversion, using waste material from pulp and paper production.
