Key Elements for Plant Nutrition02:35

Key Elements for Plant Nutrition

18.9K
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the...

Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry

124
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...

Regulation of Food Intake01:30

Regulation of Food Intake

293
Short-term regulation of food intake primarily involves neural signals from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, blood nutrient levels, and GI tract hormones. Communication between the gut and brain via vagal nerve fibers plays a significant role in evaluating the contents of the gut. Clinical studies have shown that protein ingestion produces a more prolonged response in these nerve fibers compared to an equivalent amount of glucose. Additionally, the activation of stretch receptors caused by GI...

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.7K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition02:11

The Roles of Bacteria and Fungi in Plant Nutrition

36.5K
Plants have the impressive ability to create their own food through photosynthesis. However, plants often require assistance from organisms in the soil to acquire the nutrients they need to function correctly. Both bacteria and fungi have evolved symbiotic relationships with plants that help the species to thrive in a wide variety of environments.

Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

7.3K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Agricultural Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Animal agriculture is a major driver of climate change, land use change, biodiversity loss, and environmental pollution.
  • High consumption of animal products negatively impacts public health and involves the annual slaughter of trillions of animals.
  • Current understanding of animal product systems and plant-based alternatives is insufficient for effective global food system planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a cross-disciplinary research agenda for transforming food systems.
  • To develop target-based scenarios for reducing reliance on animal products.
  • To inform decision-making for sustainable food system transitions.

Main Methods:

  • Data collection and analysis at the intersection of animal agriculture, environment, and societal well-being.
  • Construction of target-based scenarios for animal products using new data and empirical insights.
  • Evaluation of impacts, unintended consequences, co-benefits, and trade-offs of proposed scenarios.

Main Results:

  • Incomplete understanding of food system interactions hinders effective planning for transitions.
  • A comprehensive research agenda is proposed to address knowledge gaps.
  • Target-based scenarios can help evaluate potential food system transformations.

Conclusions:

  • A structured research approach is essential for informed food system transformation.
  • Understanding the complex interactions within food systems is crucial for sustainability.
  • Evaluating scenarios will aid in managing costs and maximizing co-benefits of food system changes.
