Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry

131
Microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry, contributing to soil fertility, crop protection, and food production. Their functions range from nitrogen fixation and biopesticide production to fermentation and food preservation, making them indispensable to sustainable farming and food safety.Role in AgricultureNitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium (symbiotic) and Azotobacter (free-living), convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through biological nitrogen...

Sustainable Development

13.4K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Optimal Foraging

12.3K
How animals obtain and eat their food is called foraging behavior. Foraging can include searching for plants and hunting for prey and depends on the species and environment.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

206
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Trophic Efficiency00:46

Trophic Efficiency

20.8K
Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is a measure of the total energy transfer from one trophic level to the next. Due to extensive energy loss as metabolic heat, an average of only 10% of the original energy obtained is passed on to the next level. This pattern of energy loss severely limits the possible number of trophic levels in a food chain.

Energy Balance01:19

Energy Balance

474
The human body gets energy from the three macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Energy is released when the chemical bonds in the organic compounds present in the food are broken down. The energy content of food is measured in kilocalories (kcal), defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. This value is determined by measuring the temperature change of the water surrounding a calorimeter after the complete...

Area of Science:

  • Agrifood systems science
  • Environmental policy
  • Societal implementation

Background:

  • The UK's agrifood sector faces significant challenges in transitioning to net zero emissions.
  • Understanding the complex interactions between science, policy, and society is vital for effective climate action.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the science-policy-society interface concerning the UK agrifood system and its net zero transition.
  • To identify key challenges and propose actionable strategies for achieving net zero in the agrifood sector.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current agrifood policies and net zero strategies in the UK.
  • Analysis of stakeholder perspectives and implementation barriers.
  • Synthesis of scientific, policy, and societal considerations.

Main Results:

  • Current agrifood policies may lack the necessary targeting for effective net zero implementation.
  • A significant gap exists between top-down policy directives and bottom-up stakeholder realities.
  • Successful transition requires integrating diverse stakeholder needs and capacities.

Conclusions:

  • Agrifood policy must become more specific and adaptive to facilitate net zero goals.
  • A hybrid approach, merging top-down and bottom-up strategies, is essential for co-creating a feasible pathway.
  • Stakeholder engagement and tailored solutions are paramount for a just and effective agrifood transition.
