Water is present in everything we eat. It often goes unseen, yet it is essential for growing, processing, transporting, and preparing every ingredient that reaches our tables. From a cup of coffee to a fresh salad or a plate of rice, water is at the heart of global gastronomy. Today, in an increasingly interconnected world, this relationship between water and food takes on new dimensions, ...
By modifying genes responsible for traits such as drought resistance or pest tolerance, researchers can develop crops that are more resilient to environmental challenges, ultimately enhancing food security. As the scientific community continues to grapple with the complexities of genetics, tools like the Base Editing Library Screening Service stand out as pivotal ...
As the demand for bio-based solutions rises, precise measurement of fatty acids becomes a cornerstone of innovation in food security, renewable energy, and sustainable agriculture. The Importance of Fatty Acids in Plant Systems Fatty acids are fundamental components of lipids, crucial for maintaining cell membrane integrity, energy storage, and signaling. ...
As we continue to explore the vital roles of plant hormones, the potential for improving crop performance and sustainability becomes remarkable, ultimately contributing to food security and environmental resilience. ...
"These approaches allow for deeper exploration of plant traits, from basic morphology to DNA-level analysis, ultimately accelerating crop improvement and supporting food security initiatives." Lifeasible’s integrated solutions make it possible to analyze everything from observable plant traits to microscopic genetic variations, ensuring comprehensive ...
Executive Summary The global agrochemicals market is poised for significant growth in 2024, driven by increasing food demand due to population growth and the rising consumption of healthier diets. ...
Sustainable agriculture is increasingly recognized as a critical component in addressing the global challenges of climate change, food security, and environmental degradation. One innovative solution gaining traction in this field is the biochar machine, which plays a pivotal role in producing biochar — a stable form of carbon made from organic materials. ...
By influencing crop yield and resilience, research into plant hormones has become vital for improving agricultural practices and ensuring food security. Given the low concentrations of plant hormones—often in the range of 0.1 to 50 ng/g of fresh weight—accurate detection and quantification are challenging. ...
With increased awareness, investment in biochar technologies, and collaborative efforts, developing nations can unlock biochar's full potential, ensuring food security and environmental resilience for future ...
Despite 70% of available freshwater being dedicated to this sector, climate change, growing demand, and poor management have jeopardized the availability of this resource, directly affecting global food security. Agriculture cannot exist without water. Every fruit, vegetable, and grain of rice or wheat we consume has required water at some stage of its ...
The project has as its overall aim to increase climate resilient agricultural productivity and food security, with a specific objective to increase the water productivity and profitability of smallholder farmers in Mozambique, prioritizing small (family sector) farmers to increase food and nutritional security. ...
All of them pose a major threat to global food and energy security. Synthetic biology can provide tools to address many of these challenges and the industry is likely to be a major beneficiary of the fast-evolving global bioeconomy. ...
This Pisys customer – a well-known Japanese engineering firm – introduced our cloud-based Permit to Work system on a $985.7 million construction project of a new fertiliser plant in the Caspian Region, which is managed remotely from Japan. The whole construction project benefits from increased safety, better communication across different languages and reduced waiting times for ...
All of them pose a major threat to global food and energy security. Synthetic biology can provide tools to address many of these challenges and the industry is likely to be a major beneficiary of the fast-evolving global bioeconomy. ...
Pests and diseases threaten global food security, with the UN estimating that up to 40% of crops are lost annually. ...
As global populations continue to rise, the demand for food production has never been greater. Traditional farming methods, once sufficient, are now struggling to meet the demands of modern food production. New-age techniques in crop management provide innovative methods and technologies designed to maximize crop yield, enhance sustainability, and ensure ...
All of them pose a major threat to global food and energy security. Synthetic biology can provide tools to address many of these challenges and the industry is likely to be a major beneficiary of the fast-evolving global bioeconomy. ...
The irrigation sector has a key role to play in ensuring food security in the current global context, marked by a changing geopolitical situation, climate change and the scarcity of water resources. ...
