In the high-elevation desert region of the Trans-Himalayas, most people farm for a living. In the 1980s, they largely transitioned from subsistence-based to market-oriented production of commercial crops, such as green peas (Pisum sativum L.), they could sell to other states in India. https://phys.org/news/2025-08-benefits-traditional-himalayan-agriculture-forgotten.html Plants & Animals Fri, 15 Aug 2025 14:00:08 EDT news674472829 A group of crop systems analysts at Wageningen University and Research, in the Netherlands, has found evidence that intercropping on Mars could be a viable option for optimizing vegetable production. https://phys.org/news/2024-05-intercropping-viable-optimizing-vegetable-production.html Space Exploration Thu, 02 May 2024 11:20:01 EDT news633864718 A new analysis of distant galaxies imaged by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope shows that they are extremely young and share some remarkable similarities to "green peas," a rare class of small galaxies in our cosmic backyard. https://phys.org/news/2023-01-nasa-webb-telescope-reveals-links.html Astronomy Mon, 09 Jan 2023 14:23:01 EST news592496577 They often arrive in bad shape—hit by cars, zapped by high-voltage wires as they climb trees, or orphaned because superstitious locals have killed their moms. https://phys.org/news/2012-09-zzzz-costa-rica-sloth-sanctuary.html Ecology Tue, 11 Sep 2012 09:07:31 EDT news266573242 When Manuel Montesa takes sheep out to forage in mountains in northern Spain, he must bring water for them because streams near his town have run dry. https://phys.org/news/2012-03-spanish-farmers-struggle-lack.html Environment Sun, 11 Mar 2012 07:26:35 EDT news250669587 The ground-breaking discovery of a new class of galaxies, Green Peas, in 2009 by a group of Galaxy Zoo volunteers – have recently been followed up by further observations in the radio spectrum. https://phys.org/news/2011-10-astronomy-telescope-green-peas.html Astronomy Tue, 25 Oct 2011 10:10:01 EDT news238754027 A team of astronomers has discovered a group of rare galaxies called the "Green Peas" with the help of citizen scientists working through an online project called Galaxy Zoo. The finding could lend unique insights into how galaxies form stars in the early universe. https://phys.org/news/2009-07-galaxy-zoo-hunters-astronomers-rare.html Astronomy Mon, 27 Jul 2009 14:30:04 EDT news167921680
