A new way of using compost could boost global crop production and deliver huge benefits to the planet, according to a study co-led by The University of Queensland.

uOttawa Biology study finds climate change is waking bumblebees earlier from winter hibernation, putting the species at risk with impact on human agricultural crops.

A Policy Forum article published today in Science calls for a new approach to regulating genetically engineered (GE) crops, arguing that current approaches for triggering safety testing vary dramatically among countries and generally lack scientific merit – particularly as advances in crop breeding have blurred the lines between conventional breeding and genetic engineering.

Researchers have discovered a new player in aquatic environments that thrives on nitrate.

The findings may help scientists develop more resilient plants to help withstand climate change.

A report into the global status of ladybirds reveals the threats they face and lays out a roadmap for conservation. 

Taking excess carbon out of the atmosphere, where it is driving climate change, and locking it into the soil, where it improves its health and agronomic productivity, is the impetus behind a new five-year, $15 million project at The Ohio State University.

As urban populations boom, urban agriculture is increasingly looked to as a local food source and a way to help combat inequitable food access and food deserts.

An overview of ongoing and planned climate adaptation measures in European crop production shows vast regional differences.
