Long-term fertiliser solutions needed to avoid EU food shortages, EU Agriculture Commissioner says
The Agriculture and Food Commissioner warned that, to avoid looming food shortages in the face of rising fertiliser costs, the bloc must secure sustainable fertiliser supplies and not just provide short-term financial support. Without long-term solutions to secure fertiliser supplies, the European Union will see food scarcity, the European Commissioner for Agriculture and Food, Christophe Hansen, has told Euronews. His comments come as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has sent...

US farm chief says reliance on China threatens American ‘freedom’
US Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told lawmakers on Thursday that American dependence on China for food, fertiliser and other agricultural inputs poses an “existential” threat, framing food security as a national security issue while defending the White House’s reduced fiscal 2027 budget request. “If we need to rely on China for our food and our fertiliser and all the things that come with that, we will lose what we understand to be liberty and freedom in this country. That’s how...
Probabilistic dietary exposure modeling and health risk assessment of heavy metals via the fodder-cattle-human continuum in Bangladesh
Dietary exposure to heavy metals (HMs) via animal-source foods is a critical environmental health pathway. In rapidly industrializing Bangladesh, contamination of the bovine food chain from agricultural feeds and industrial emissions poses an unquantified public health burden. This study evaluated exposure pathways, spatial distribution, mass-transfer dynamics, and health risks of six HMs (Cr, Cu, Cd, Pb, As, and Hg) across the fodder-cattle-human continuum.
Europe's aversion to eating insects may have deep ecological and evolutionary roots
Europe's aversion to eating insects may have deep ecological and evolutionary roots Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor In recent years, human population growth, coupled with the climate crisis, environmental pressures, and current production and consumption patterns, has driven the search for alternative food sources. With 1,611 insect species listed as edible, organizations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have proposed...
The Dirt That Refused to Die
The Dirt That Refused To Die Introduction For 15 years, Sébastien Fontaine has been trying to kill dirt. The biochemist, who runs a lab at the French National Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment, wanted to know how much carbon is released by soil — just dirt alone, completely devoid of life. His team sealed dirt into jars and blasted them with sterilizing gamma radiation.
Nitric oxide overload jams plant immune signals, researchers find
Nitric oxide overload jams plant immune signals, researchers find Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A new study from the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment (CAFE) helps explain how plants can lose track of their own disease warnings. Plants do not have blood, nerves or immune cells like people do, but they still have ways to protect themselves. When one leaf is attacked by a pathogen, the plant can send warning signals to...

Enhancing Strawberry Yield Forecasting with Backcasted IoT Sensor Data and Machine Learning
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Rapid global population growth underscores the need for digitally enabled agricultural systems that support sustainable food production and data-driven resource management for farmers and stakeholders. The adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, capable of capturing real-time environmental (e.g., temperature, humidity) and operational (e.g., irrigation) parameters, is a crucial step toward enabling advanced applications such as AI-based yield...
