The global food system is under growing scrutiny for its environmental and health impacts. It contributes substantially to climate change, biodiversity loss, and diet-related disease, making its current trajectory unsustainable.
6 Things to Know From NASA About New US, European Sea Satellite
Data from Sentinel-6B will continue a decades-long record of sea surface height, helping to improve coastal planning, protect critical infrastructure, and advance weather forecasts.
UK Prawn Farms Could Spark Sustainable Seafood Revolution
Farming king prawns indoors in tanks on UK farmland could create a thriving, sustainable seafood industry, researchers say.
Deep-Sea Mining Threatens Life, Food Webs in the Ocean’s Dim ‘Twilight Zone’
Deep-sea mining poses significant risks for a vital, hidden part of the ocean. That’s the message from a new University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa study, the first to truly look at the impact of mining waste.
In a Death Valley Shrub, Scientists See a Blueprint for Heat-Proof Crops
In the searing heat of Death Valley, California, a small desert shrub, Tidestromia oblongifolia, is able to thrive in temperatures upwards of 120 degrees F (roughly 50 degrees C).
