In the fight to protect biodiversity and limit climate change, the world will reap what it sows, say researchers from the University of Surrey.

Urban agriculture has the potential to improve food security through local, efficient, and sustainable food production.

With the goal of reducing the time and cost it takes to bring an improved crop to the marketplace to improve agriculture sustainability, research conducted in the laboratory of Keith Slotkin, PhD, and with his collaborator, Veena Veena, PhD, director of the Plant Transformation Facility, was recently published in the scientific journal Nature. 

With the spread of bird flu, or H5N1 virus, to dairy cattle, new research from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Emory University in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases shows that the virus remains stable on commercial milking equipment for at least one hour, increasing its potential to infect people and other animals.

University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers have developed low-cost sensors that allow for real-time, continuous monitoring of nitrate in soil types that are common in Wisconsin.

Fertilizers manufactured from the sludgy leftovers of wastewater treatment processes can contain traces of potentially hazardous organic chemicals, according to a new study by Johns Hopkins University researchers.

Trials have shown that adding relatively small amounts of biochar to soil can significantly increase the amount of nutrients essential for crop growth, boosting crop yield.

The tree Radka Wildova and Jonathan Rosenthal wanted to show me was only a few hundred feet from the trail at Tivoli Bays, a state wildlife management area in Rhinebeck, New York. But getting to it required bushwhacking through a thicket of non-native honeysuckle, multiflora rose, and poison ivy.
