Singapore scientists have developed a plant communication device that delivers electrical signals to and from plants. By monitoring the plants’ electrical signals, we may detect possible distress signals and abnormalities.
The world’s largest urban rooftop farm in Paris has started to bear fruit. Rooftop farming is a clean, productive and sustainable model of agriculture that can in time make a real contribution.
A new study suggests that globally we're growing more of the same kinds of crops, and this presents major challenges for agricultural sustainability on a global scale.
To help spur the next agricultural revolution, researchers have invented a "bionic" leaf that uses bacteria, sunlight, water and air to make fertilizer in the very soil where crops are grown.
The compelling vision is of a world where agriculture makes smarter use of less resources, providing more food with less carbon.
The project is designed to boost agricultural performance in a dense urban environment, ensuring long-term food security without environmental degradation.
