Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

7.2K
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...

Primary Production01:06

Primary Production

23.6K
The total amount of energy acquired by primary producers in an ecosystem is called gross primary production (GPP). However, of this energy, producers use some for metabolic processes, and some is lost as heat, decreasing the amount of energy available to the next trophic level. The remaining usable amount of energy is called the net primary productivity (NPP). In terrestrial ecosystems, NPP is driven by climate, while light penetration and nutrient availability drive NPP in aquatic ecosystems.

Trophic Efficiency00:46

Trophic Efficiency

20.4K
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.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.4K
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

35.3K
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.

Absorption of Nutrients01:19

Absorption of Nutrients

542
Absorption refers to taking dietary nutrients from the intestinal lumen for transportation throughout the body. After digestion in the small intestine, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are broken down into simpler forms. These essential macronutrients and other vital substances, such as vitamins, minerals, and water, are then prepared for absorption into the bloodstream.
Enterocytes, which are specialized polar epithelial cells, line the mucosa of the small intestinal walls. These cells...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Environmental Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Contemporary agri-food relations pose risks to public health and environmental sustainability, necessitating systemic transformation.
  • Calls for change emphasize understanding the interconnectedness of agri-food systems.
  • The relationship between food production and consumption is a critical area for investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revisit and advance previous scholarship on integrating consumption into agri-food studies.
  • To address contemporary challenges in food politics and consumption studies.
  • To explore how concepts like geographies of edibility, economy of qualities, and visceral politics can inform agri-food transformation.

Main Methods:

  • Revisiting debates from Sociologia Ruralis on consumption and consumers in agri-food scholarship.
  • Analyzing recent advances in consumption studies and shifting food politics.
  • Focusing on the case study of alternative proteins.

Main Results:

  • Identifies three bodies of scholarship—geographies of edibility, economy of qualities, visceral politics—as crucial for integrating production and consumption.
  • Demonstrates the potential of these concepts to update and renew integrative perspectives.
  • Highlights the specific relevance of these concepts in the context of alternative proteins.

Conclusions:

  • The study suggests new integrative concepts offer valuable building blocks for understanding and transforming agri-food relations.
  • Reconciling production and consumption requires careful consideration of theoretical and practical risks.
  • These updated perspectives are vital for navigating the future of agri-food systems.
