Using tiny ‘soil chips’, researchers have observed the forgaging strategies of fungi at a microscopic scale for the first time.
Most of the wastewater produced worldwide receives no treatment and the nutrients in wastewater go to waste. Here’s how households can draw these nutrients from urine and use them as fertilisers.
If rolled out worldwide, our method could replace a quarter of all the synthetic nitrogen fertiliser used in agriculture.
The €24 billion spent supporting farm incomes in richer regions could more than cover the EU’s Biodiversity Strategy.
Glacier mice aren’t rodents – they’re mysterious balls of moss that manage to live in one of the world’s harshest environments.
