New research weighs up the potential of mycoforestry: The only form of protein production that actually sequesters carbon
The clue, researchers find, lies in the roots, where starch-storing rhizomes seem to control rates of photosynthesis.
Seeing the whole picture like this not only shows that most emissions occur directly on farms, it also points the way to huge tech-ready interventions.
What we feed chicken and salmon is remarkably similar and remarkably problematic. It’s also key to solving the problem.
In a new study, researchers made a surprising discovery: the environment benefits of online food sharing are often undone by how consumers spend their saved cash.
Starch-heavy foods such as popcorn and old pizza can be used to make bioplastics and high fiber wastes like tomato peels and eggshells are excellent fillers for tires and other rubber products
Macroalgae get a lot of attention for absorbing carbon. But a new study shows that select species are better at cleaning up nitrogen than carbon.
A new, intensive lifecycle assessment compared the benefits of buy-and-return container schemes with the costs of their production and use. The takeaway wasn’t clean.
A landmark analysis of 132 studies shows that greener farming methods needn’t cost yields, land, or profits.
