How smarter greenhouses could improve the UK's food security

When was the last time you walked into a supermarket and marveled at the abundance of exotic fruits and vegetables, even in the dead of winter? This luxury, now an expectation, only became common in the mid-20th century, ...

Paving the way for seaweed as a future protein source

A sustainable food system for a growing global population requires a more diversified and climate-neutral protein production. After five years of research in the recently completed CirkAlg project, led by Chalmers University ...

More to manure than meets the eye

Over the last three decades, South Texas cattle producer Bob McCan has discovered more about his rangeland and pasture conditions from analyzing manure than any academic paper or ranch consultation could provide.

Smoke sensors protecting wine from smoke taint

A smoke sensor developed by La Trobe University academics that has the potential to save hundreds of millions of dollars in lost wine production is in the process of being rolled out across the wine industry, with monitors ...
