In the ongoing debate over the future of agriculture, a new study published in *Earth Critical Zone* sheds light on the complex interplay between farm size, productivity, and sustainability. Led by Chenchen Ren from the Department of Global Ecology a

In the heart of our global food supply, a silent invader is making its presence known. Nano and microplastics (NPs/MPs), those tiny fragments of plastic less than five millimeters in size, have infiltrated paddy fields, the very ecosystems that nurtu

In the rolling hills of Songyang County, Zhejiang Province, a quiet revolution is brewing—one that could reshape the way China’s tea industry tackles its environmental impact. A recent study published in *Earth Critical Zone* has shed light on the gr

In the quest for sustainable agriculture, managing nitrogen (N) fertilizer use effectively is a balancing act. Farmers must meet the growing global demand for crop production while minimizing environmental impact. A recent study published in *Earth C

In the relentless pursuit of sustainable agriculture, scientists have long grappled with the challenge of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which linger in the environment, resistant to biological degradation. A recent study published in *Earth C

In the quest to feed a growing global population, rice remains a staple crop, yet its productivity is often hindered by phosphorus (P) deficiencies in soil. A recent study published in *Earth Critical Zone* sheds light on how silicon (Si) can enhance

In the relentless battle against Verticillium wilt, a disease that threatens global cotton production, scientists have taken a significant step forward. A recent study published in *Industrial Crops and Products* has unveiled the intricate landscape

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Agriculture 5.0, a groundbreaking concept is taking root: Human Digital Twins (HDTs). These virtual replicas of human workers are poised to revolutionize the way we approach ergonomics, decision-making, and human

In the rapidly evolving world of remote sensing and satellite imagery, a groundbreaking study published in *Geo Data* is set to revolutionize how we enhance image resolution, with significant implications for the agriculture sector. The research, led

In the quest for precise weather data to drive agricultural decisions, a team of researchers has developed a novel approach to enhance the spatial resolution of satellite-based precipitation measurements. This advancement, published in the *IEEE Jour
