Deforestation for consumer products increases malaria transmission.

More than half of the world’s population faces a looming threat to the quality and availability of their drinking water because climate change and urbanisation are expected to cause an increase in groundwater organic carbon, a new UNSW study has found.

Efforts to create synthetic replacements for palm oil are still likely to take several years, so immediate attention should be focused on making the existing production process more sustainable, researchers at the University of Bath’s Centre for Integrated Bioprocessing Research (CIBR) and Centre for Sustainable Circular Technologies (CSCT) have found.

Scientists from across Europe call for swift and effective action from the EU with regard to its Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). 

A dataset of large-scale aerial images produced by Intelinair, a spinout from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, aims to give farmers visibility into the conditions of their fields.

Professor Joshua Fu and colleagues studied wildfires in that state from 2011 through 2014, gaining valuable insight into how smoke from the fires affects the health of people in its path.

Data indicates only a small increase of Amazonian fires in 2019 compared to 2018.

Scientists are concerned that the growth of commercial-scale agriculture on farms in tropical regions is increasing the global nitrogen footprint.

Many studies seek to estimate the adverse effects of climate change on crops, but most research assumes that the geographic distribution of crops will remain unchanged in the future.

University of Illinois scientists, with help from members of the Illinois Corn Growers Association, have developed a new, scalable method for estimating crop productivity in real time.
