Forests can reduce hunger in rural households while also capturing carbon and advancing sustainability goals for low- and middle-income countries, according to new research by University of Notre Dame expert Daniel C. Miller, associate professor of environmental policy at Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs.
GFI’s Dr. Faraz Harsini interviews one of the world’s leading cultivated meat researchers in his lab at Texas A&M
A research team has identified the optimal edaphic and climatic conditions for the growth of soursop (Annona muricata L.), a plant with significant medicinal potential and nutritional value.
This exciting, virtual event brings together university, industry, venture investment, non-profit and government experts to review, discuss and advance innovations.
Raw poultry is one of the main causes of Salmonella poisoning, which affects thousands of people in the U.S. every year. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign shows that few products with high levels of very virulent Salmonella strains are responsible for most of the illnesses from raw chicken parts.
In a groundbreaking effort to tackle the pervasive issue of PFAS contamination in drinking water, a research team at New Jersey Institute of Technology has received funding from the Bureau of Reclamation's Desalination and Water Purification Research program.
PFAS, the potentially cancer-causing chemicals known as ‘forever chemicals’, have become an increasing concern in home drinking water. Solutions to reduce the risk of exposure range from mandated municipal-level water treatment to under-the-sink home treatment systems.
Water scientists from Australia and China have proposed a more effective method of removing organic pesticides from drinking water, reducing the risk of contamination and potential health problems.
A person in Colorado tested positive for the bird flu. This is the fourth case reported in the U.S. Two other cases were reported in Michigan and in Texas. ...
A new study demonstrates that eating primarily minimally processed foods, as they are defined by the NOVA classification system, does not automatically make for a healthy diet, suggesting that the types of foods we eat may matter more than the level of processing used to make them.
New study findings suggest that baby-led weaning — a popular method for introducing solid foods to infants — furnishes ample calories for growth and development. The findings provide evidence-based support for baby-led weaning, which has not been heavily studied.
New protein digestibility methods could encourage more frequent labeling of protein adjusted for quality and reduce the use of test animals.
In a bid to combat food waste and enhance safety, researchers have introduced a pioneering method for gauging the freshness of raw beef using on-pack pH indicators. This new system provides consumers with a direct visual cue of meat quality, effectively navigating beyond the limitations of traditional best-before labels.
Current microbial control techniques for prepared dishes have different characteristics. This study summarizes the application of five commonly used techniques (conventional thermal techniques, microwave, radio frequency, high pressure processing, irradiation) in prepared dishes and analyzes factors affecting microbial inactivation, the challenges and countermeasures associated with their application in prepared dishes are also discussed.
Ahead of Independence Day on July 4, Virginia Tech experts can speak on a variety of topics, including fireworks safety, economic lessons from eating contests, grilling safety tips, and more. To schedule an interview, please contact the media relations office at [email protected]. Fireworks safety The July 4th holiday brings a dramatic increase in eye injuries each year.
To harvest small amounts of humidity, researchers in ACS Energy Letters have developed a compact device with absorbent-coated fins that first trap moisture and then generate potable water when heated.
In AIP Advances, researchers have developed a new method for detecting foodborne pathogens that is faster, cheaper, and more effective than existing methods. Their microfluidic chip uses light to detect multiple types of pathogens simultaneously and is created using 3D printing, making it easy to fabricate in large amounts and modify to target specific pathogens.
Climate change is causing a series of maladies by warming land and sea. A study published online in Limnology and Oceanography Letters, demonstrates that one consequence of climate change that has already occurred is the spread and intensification of toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie.
