New technologies are needed to combat climate change. Now bioinformatics specialists might have found a way of enabling plants to store more carbon dioxide.
Disturbed natural ecosystems can recover, but after short interventions, the composition of species often sees a permanent change. This is the conclusion drawn by an international study headed by the University of…
A new study considers a smart design of land tenure for farmers in African countries to be a key factor in dealing with climate change in the region. Tenants should pay a fixed share of the harvest rather than a fixed…
Researchers from ETH Zurich and other universities have found evidence that expanding irrigation has dampened anthropogenic warming during hot days, with particularly strong effects over South Asia.
Almost half of current food production is harmful to our planet – causing biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation and water stress. A study led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) now suggests a…
A new report estimates that the ocean could provide six times more food than it does today – including more than two-thirds of the protein needed to feed the future world population – provided it is sustainably managed.
A new study by the German University of Göttingen shows that food from supermarkets in Kenya contributes to a reduction of child undernutrition and does not cause child obesity.
A single volatile substance can be sufficient to induce a defence response in sweet potatoes to herbivores. Researchers have identified this substance and shown that the mechanism is not only limited to the attacked…
ETH Zurich researchers of the Swiss ETH Zurich are re-examining the causes of soil erosion around the world – and have found that countries themselves have a surprisingly strong influence on their soil. This country…
Forest restoration bears a considerable carbon storage potential and can support efforts to mitigate climate change. However, its role should not be overestimated, and neither should the costs involved in forest…
