The world’s total population is expected to reach 9.9 billion by 2050. This rapid increase in population is boosting the demand for agriculture to cater for the increased demand. Below are some of the latest research and features on agriculture and farming in the Agriculture channel on Newswise.
Cannabinoids, naturally occurring compounds found in hemp plants, may have evolved to deter pests from chewing on them, according to Cornell University research that showed higher cannabinoid concentrations in hemp leaves led to proportionately less damage from insect larvae.

For the first time, researchers have detected a highly infectious type of bird flu virus in wetlands frequented by waterfowl, which they report in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters.
Researchers in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters detected microplastics in clouds above the mountains, which could affect cloud formation and weather.
The American Physical Society welcomed three new Fellows from Argonne — Dillon Fong, Katrin Heitmann and Ahren Jasper.
In a recent publication in Nature Communications, a joint research team of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), the University of Cologne, and the University of Oldenburg has presented their findings on the functioning of an atypical cryptochrome protein (Cry).
Recycling of water-based adhesive achieved by changing pH
One of the great unknowns in climate models is the behavior of certain gases that often smell strongly and cause water to condense. TU Wien (Vienna) is providing new insights into this.
Physicists from the University of Luxembourg together with experts from Avant-garde Materials Simulation (AMS) and seven pharmaceutical companies have redefined the state-of-the-art in modeling and predicting the free energy of crystals.
Recycled plastic contains hundreds of toxins, scientists say, urging ban on hazardous chemicals.
An international group of 35 scientists is calling out conflicts of interest plaguing global plastic treaty negotiations and that have interfered with timely action on other health and environmental issues.
The new Global Plastics Treaty must tackle the problem at source, researchers say
New device could improve the outcomes of cell-based therapies
Researchers present a novel experimental system for simultaneous measurement of dynamic mechanical properties and X-ray computed tomography
Indoor light could someday power smart devices, but not all solar panel technologies have the same level of success, according to research in ACS Applied Energy Materials.
Researchers have developed a new method to image polymerization catalysis reactions one monomer at a time.
Off Barbados, researchers from Bremen have investigated how bacteria inadvertently release methane in order to obtain phosphorus – with significant effects on atmospheric greenhouse gases.
Researchers found that one of the most promising electrolytes for designing longer lasting lithium batteries has complex nanostructures that act like micelle structures do in soaped water.
Researchers in ACS Central Science report a proof-of-concept device that “sniffs” seawater, trapping dissolved compounds for analyses. The team showed that the system could easily concentrate molecules that are present in underwater caves and holds promise for drug discovery in fragile ecosystems, including coral reefs.
