Creating a sustainable human age we actually want to live in.
Researchers make the case for a ‘cap-and-trade’-style system that would distribute nitrogen and phosphorus more evenly around the planet.
A new analysis shows that it’s cheaper, more sustainable—and just as effective—to make aquaculture feed out of methane from industrial waste, than from forage fish extracted from the sea
Poring over 20 years of crop yield data researchers discover an intriguing form of natural drought resilience that offers clues for climate adaptation and food security.
In a new study, 70% of children said pigs and cows weren’t acceptable as food. This, the researchers say, represents an opportunity to establish lifelong habits that mitigate climate change.
A research team has demonstrated a technique to turn bioplastics into urea, cutting back on the emissions associated with making fertilizer
Targeting only 20% of global cropland, where excessive fertilizer application prevails, could achieve 65% of nitrous oxide mitigation targets
Their new discovery not only keeps damage-prone fruit out of the landfills, it also requires less energy-guzzling infrastructure for storage and cooling
A decade of research holds the answer to this longstanding farming conundrum.
The lowest-impact label went to farmed bivalves and seaweeds; but there were also some surprises—e.g., wild and farmed salmon have the same footprint
Researchers develop a method to make this crucial industrial ingredient 8.5 times faster than nature can — with potential consequences for food security and land savings
Smart, powerful environmental journalism doesn't come cheap. Anthropocene is science-based, nonprofit—and reader-funded.
