Plants do not wait hours to respond to intense sunlight—they react within minutes.

As drought strains water supplies across much of the United States, Virginia Tech researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to help policymakers manage growing competition between agriculture and semiconductor manufacturing.

With new sensors, farmers could use real-time information to manage crop conditions before visible signs of plant stress appear.

Worker bees are the first line of defense when it comes to removing contamination in honeybee colonies, but a queen has her ways, too.

Researchers at the University of East Anglia have helped uncover a hidden ally in the fight against one of agriculture’s greatest threats – salty soil.

Despite decades of mass drug administration campaigns, schistosomiasis remains one of the world’s most widespread neglected tropical diseases.

Planting trees is widely promoted as a natural solution to climate change. 

Soils that are exposed to prolonged drought often develop desiccation cracks, which impact soil properties and exacerbate moisture loss through evapotranspiration.

Global rice production nearly doubled between the 1960s and the 2010s, despite the negative impacts of climate change, according to a new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Adopting artificial intelligence across the agri-food sector requires a coordinated integration, otherwise Canada risks falling behind in both productivity and market competitiveness.
