Modern agriculture faces numerous challenges, such as the ever-increasing population, development of biomass-derived feedstocks for greener industries, developing in a sustainable and rapid manner, the major climate change. 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 ...

The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed several pesticide registration plans that could significantly affect farmers’ abilities to utilize herbicides. EPA is responsible for approving registrations on pesticides in the United States and has consistently been found by courts to have not properly evaluated the registrations’ effects on endangered species. In order to meet ...
Insect Cultivation: Transforming Waste into Valuable Resources for a Sustainable Circular Economy Insects offer a fascinating opportunity to transform otherwise unused matter into valuable materials, such as proteins and fats. By doing so, they play a vital role in a circular economy, upcycling waste into resources that hold significant value for the feed, food, and agricultural ...

Treating farm runoff before it enters watersheds can reduce nutrients that promote overgrowth of algae. In 2017, the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico broke a record, exceeding an average of 5,380 square miles to reach 8,776 square miles, roughly the size of New Jersey. Dead zones occur when seawater becomes overloaded with nutrients from agricultural runoff and other sources. The nutrients lead ...
Soybean protein isolate is a kind of edible soybean protein product which is processed by using peeling, degreasing, cold pressing soybean cake or low temperature desoluble soybean meal as raw material through dilute alkali extraction, acid precipitation, centrifugal separation, spray drying and other processes. Soy protein isolate is protein content & GT; 90% good protein. It is not only ...
Agriculture degrades over 24 million acres of fertile soil every year, raising concerns about meeting the rising global demand for food. But a simple farming practice born from the 1930's Dust Bowl could provide a solution, according to new Stanford research. The study, published Dec. 6 in Environmental Research Letters, shows that Midwest farmers who reduced how much they overturned the soil -- ...
Today, most of our lives rely on apps. Whether we need to wake up in the morning, order a cup of coffee or navigate to avoid traffic—all while listening to our favorite podcast—apps have made everything just a click away. FieldView™ continues to lead the industry with the most compatible real-time data cab monitoring app, reshaping agriculture for present and future ...
Last November, Arable participated in Silicon Valley Argentina in Rosario, a forum co-organized with Fundación CEDEF, Chacra Media Group, and Silicon Valley Forum. We’ve been to a number of ag shows in the US, and have never seen anything that compares to the caliber of this event. The best part was its forward-thinking focus on ‘the next generation of ag’: It was more ...

Most farmers are familiar with contests in which participants try to achieve the maximum yield of a crop from a given field. Fewer would be familiar with a contest in which participants’ total crop yield is divided by the amount of water they use—thus measuring their water use efficiency. That’s the kind of contest that Dr. Chris Henry and his colleagues at the University of ...
In the age of technology, technology touches everything, even in agricultural settings and situations. Technology in recent years has been used to make things like swine production more efficient, building better livestock facilities with new capabilities, and even in growing the grain necessary for sustaining livestock raising. Technology also has a major hand in improving the quality and ...

The Collegiate Biobased Network (CBN), supported by the United Soybean Board, promotes educational and career connections in the biobased industry for college and university students. There is no cost to join this professional organization, and students will get access to biobased development updates, webinars on current biobased topics, networking and mentoring opportunities, participation in ...
Herbicides, insecticides and fungicides threaten the environment and human health in many parts of the world. But research is pointing to a better approach. In today’s globalized world, it is not inconceivable that one might drink coffee from Colombia in the morning, munch cashews from Vietnam for lunch and gobble grains from Ethiopia for dinner. That we can enjoy these products is thanks, ...

As western hemisphere oil palm plantations boom, environmentalists eye ways to avoid repeating the devastation in Southeast Asia. What do soap, Ben & Jerry’s and Kit Kat bars have in common? They all contain palm oil — produced by the oil palm tree. Native to West Africa, oil palm has been planted throughout the tropics to provide a source of this increasingly in-demand ...

Bisphenol A (BPA) and cadmium (Cd) pollution exist simultaneously in many regions. However, little information is available regarding the combined effects of BPA and Cd pollution on plants. Plant roots are in direct contact with the soil, which is an important compartment of BPA and Cd. Here, the effects of combined BPA and Cd pollution on soybean seedling roots were evaluated in pot ...
Increasing energy use, climate change and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels make switching to biofuels a high priority. Demand for biofuel, specifically based on biodiesel, should change the composition of Brazilian exportation of soybean agro–industrial system. Studies of agricultural chains have drawn attention to important roles including international and domestic market, ...
When German chemist Justus von Liebig demonstrated in 1847 that the major nutrients that plants removed from the soil could be applied in mineral form, he set the stage for the development of the fertilizer industry and a huge jump in world food production a century later. Growth in food production during the nineteenth century came primarily from expanding cultivated area. It was not until the ...
For most of the time that human beings have walked the earth, we lived as hunter-gatherers. The share of the human diet that came from hunting versus gathering varied with geographic location, hunting skills, and the season of the year. During the northern hemisphere winter, for instance, when there was little food to gather, people there depended heavily on hunting for survival. Our long history ...
In the Huaibei Plain basin, China, soybean is a main crop. During the soybean growth period, rainfall can vary largely and depth to watertable can also vary largely. The amount of water supplied to the soybean rootzone by groundwater affects soybean growth and yield. Accurate simulation of groundwater contributions to soybean rootzone soil moisture (groundwater contribution) can be important ...
