Mycoprotein, microalgae, and mealworm, argue a group of researchers, would make food systems more resilient to climate change
It seems to work for other plants they've have tested as well—even under drought-like conditions
Researchers develop a nutrient-enriched, gel coating for seeds that soaks up moisture and could buffer plants against drought
Crop residue left on the ground locked up carbon in the soil four times longer than if they were cleared away
A research team set out to determine which cities would likely cope better (and worse) with climate threats to their food systems. Their advice: eat globally.
