The production of torrefied biomass through Pyrolysis —also called biocoal—is an easy and inexpensive way to capture and store CO2.

A newly discovered parasitic bacteria to slow down plant aging, may offer new ways to protect disease-threatened food crops.

Researchers are investigating whether the natural properties of bacteria could help in developing a new type of biodegradable plasterboard.

Widespread use of the new technology could increase nitrogen content and lower global use of fertilizers for wheat crops.

Shifting to a new food freezing method could make for safer and better quality frozen foods while saving energy and reducing carbon emission

By showing relationships between genetics and compounds in apple fruits the platform can take the guesswork, and time out of breeding.

Cow manure – a longtime agricultural waste headache for dairy farmers – soon may ignite a new sustainable fertilizing trend.
