Organic farming and flower strips promote the health of honey bees, with colonies growing stronger and generally being healthier when living in their vicinity.

Growing lettuce on stacked shelves in high-tech greenhouses could be as good for the environment as growing them in fields and could save 8,000 hectares of land in the UK, according to a new study from the University of Surrey and the University of Aberdeen.

Food, feed, fiber, and bioenergy: The demand for agricultural raw materials is rising. 

An international research team led by the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science (CeMESS) at the University of Vienna has discovered that comammox bacteria, first identified by them in 2015, can grow using guanidine, a nitrogen-rich organic compound, as their sole energy and nitrogen source.

Pesticides and herbicides are critical to ensuring food security worldwide, but these substances can present a safety risk to people who unwittingly ingest them. 

Much of the water in the West is transported across vast geographical areas by large infrastructure projects known as interbasin water transfers.
