Avian influenza virus — or bird flu — can infect domestic poultry such as chickens and turkeys, as well as wild birds. The H5N1 strain has been identified in Canada.
Up to 42,000 tonnes a year of microplastics are removed from sewage, spread on fields as fertiliser and eventually wash back into watercourses.
New research showed a type of wasp which eats its own siblings.
Scientists just grew plants in soil from the Moon, but Antarctica has long provided researchers with the perfect place to test their agricultural techniques for a future in space.
La Niña is only part of the problem. The long-term driver of increasing drought – even in areas getting more rainfall overall – is the rapidly warming climate.
The world is facing one of the century’s biggest challenges: How to nutritiously feed the growing population, address climate change and not destroy the ecosystems on which we all depend for life.
We asked six experts to nominate books that might help us avert environmental catastrophe. Here’s what they said.
A ‘right to grow’ law encouraging more locally-grown food could boost health, community pride and food supply resilience.
Whether a combine harvester or a Diplodocus is the cause, compacted soils are a big problem.
Land reform had not been held back by the constitution but by capacity constraints and a lack of political will.

Our work highlights the potential of phone surveys to monitor active and large-scale conflicts.
Drained peatlands contribute five per cent of global carbon emissions. Paludiculture, or agriculture on wet peatlands, protects peatlands and allows farmers to maintain their livelihoods.
Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may be a boon for maize crops in tropical growing regions like those found in much of Africa.
