Scientists have shed new light on how the network of gatekeepers that controls the traffic in and out of plant cells works, which researchers believe is key to develop food crops with bigger yields and greater ability to cope with extreme environments.

After studying 71 lakes in 33 countries, researchers found that phytoplankton and algae blooms are generally increasing around the world.

Berkeley Lab scientists pair satellite data with high-resolution monitoring to estimate groundwater depletion across California’s Central Valley.

Intercropping, or the simultaneous cultivation of multiple crops on a single plot of land, can significantly increase the yield, not only of low input agriculture, but also of intensive agriculture, and reduce the use of fertilisers.

Check in on the progress of habitat restoration projects in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alaska.

Understanding foodborne pathogen pathways will lead to greater food safety.

Study suggests strategies for a flatter progression of citrus greening disease epidemics.

UK consumers are likely to be exposed to larger amounts of more toxic chemicals in their food if trade negotiators from the US have their way, warns a new report out today.

By tracking life-cycle events, average daily temperatures and precipitation, researchers found that some shifts in the timing of plant seasonal life cycle events correlated with temperature trends.

A new study involving University of Liverpool ecologists shows invasive native species of rushes are spreading across UK upland farms and have the potential to threaten wildlife and the livelihoods of farmers.
