Supercomputer-powered 3D imaging of root systems to help breeders develop climate-change adapted plants for farmers

Texas A&M scientists are applying the imaging technology to develop crops with deeper roots and stronger drought resilience.

The director of the Texas A&M Honey Bee Lab explains the large role these small insects and animals play in our food supply.

NASA satellites are helping scientists study soil loss over time and develop tools to support farmers as they adopt and manage conservation techniques.

The discovery of a gene that regulates the angle of root growth in corn is a new tool to enable the breeding of deeper-rooting crops with enhanced ability to take up nitrogen, according to an international team of researchers, led by Penn State.

As the seasons turn from spring, to summer, to fall – farmers plant crops, monitor their growth and harvest them.

Food is a basic necessity, and it is at the heart of every human culture and our sense of home. It also represents one of our most important connections to Earth.

Skies turned hazy from Pittsburgh to Washington to Boston, as smoke from fires in Canada poured into the U.S. Northeast.

The EU funded project DAFNE has developed a methodology for avoiding conflicts of use in transboundary rivers.

The finding comes out of an effort to map where vegetation is emitting and soaking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
