The air around us contains a powerful solution for making agriculture more sustainable.

Dr. Mustafa Akbulut and Ph.D. student Yashwanth Arcot are developing a non-toxic pesticide for more sustainable agricultural practices.

The new method could help slash carbon emissions in hard to reach industries like aviation and road haulage.

Rising sea levels, melting glaciers, heatwaves at sea – 2023 set a number of alarming new records.

Environmental exposure to toxins in the air, water or certain chemicals can increase the risk of ill health effects, including to the human brain.

In the upper reaches of a Minnesota watershed, the water is so full of dissolved nitrous oxide that University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign hydrologist Zhongjie Yu likens it to a soda can. 

The international team of scientists buried 19,000 bags of green tea and rooibos in 180 wetlands across 28 countries to measure the ability for wetlands to hold carbon in their soil, known as wetland carbon sequestration.

Findings offer solution for more climate-friendly cattle farming.

Mathematical model captures the relationship between carbon dioxide, temperature, human population, and crop growth—and reveals a critical threshold.

With growing concerns over climate change and overpopulation, we urgently need to boost agricultural productivity.
