Three dimensions to measure the impact of soil nutrients on the nutritional values of crops
When farmers need to know the nutritional value of a crop, the usual way to find out is by taking hundreds of samples of the grains into a laboratory and analyzing them. This process is not only very expensive but inefficient; the analysis is carried out at the final crop growth stage, when it is already too late for correcting nutrient concentrat…

What is overshoot day?
Earth Overshoot Day marks the annual date when humanity has exhausted the supply of natural resources that Earth can regenerate within a year. It's an important date every year, as it represents the moment when we start using “borrowed” resources - that is, surpassing the ability of the planet to balance itself sustainably.…Duren, I.C. van 3 min

What is food security?
Food security is sometimes mistaken for food safety. Whilst there is some overlap, the two are quite different. So, let’s start with a definition.
Can we provide sufficient food to everyone at all times?
Is that food affordable and accessible?
Is it utilizable? In other words, does it meet people’s cultural and dietary preferences?
Is it safe,…
