It remains possible for all humans to escape poverty and be safe from harm caused by Earth system change, but urgent global transformations are needed, a new study shows. More than 60 scientists from the Earth…
Amidst a global rise in land carbon sinks crucial for climate moderation, threats from tropical deforestation and shrinking boreal forests jeopardise these gains. What should be done?
A team of researchers at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)in Los Banos/Philippines has identified genes and markers responsible for low glycemic index (GI) and high protein content in rice, using genetics…
Food, feed, fibre, and bioenergy – the demand for agricultural raw materials is rising. How can additional cultivation areas be reconciled with nature conservation? Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a…
Results of an international study show that it is worth planting mangroves on tropical coasts – whether for renaturation or as part of restoration campaigns. They revealed that Planted forests of Rhizophora mangroves…
Countries hardest hit by hunger and climate change are also the ones with the lowest volume of agri-food research targeting them, according to an analysis by an international research team scoping more than six million…
Increasing global food demand will require more food production without further exceeding the planetary boundaries while simultaneously adapting to climate change. An international team of researchers used simulation…
A genetic “off switch” that shuts down the process in which legume plants convert atmospheric nitrogen into nutrients has been identified for the first time by a team of international scientists, led by researchers of La…
Lack of nitrogen limits food production in poor countries, while excessive nitrogen use in industrial countries has led to transgression of the planetary boundary. However, the potential of spatial redistribution of…
Abrupt shifts within complex systems such as the Earth’s climate system are extremely hard to predict. Scientists of two German research insitutes have now succeeded in developing a new method to anticipate such tipping…
