Edamame is notoriously difficult to get started

By employing algorithms and digital imaging, Brazilian researchers design a non-invasive system which performs the tricky task of identifying different stages of fruit ripening with an accuracy rate of 95 percent

Researchers have identified that during ripening, grapes suffer internal oxygen shortage

The study paves the way for research to understand which types of microbe—such as bacteria—are best at helping cattle to extract energy from their food, experts say

Researcher says inadequate sources of cooking energy contribute to food insecurity, particularly for very low income, food-insecure individuals

Research team hopes to apply the same strategy to increase grain production in related plants that are vital in the global food supply, such as rice, corn, and wheat

A recent experiment tests the usefulness of wetlands invaded by reed canarygrass as a feed source for cows

Cereals and many other important crops such as coffee, sugarcane, and soybean are impacted by these devastating pathogens

Some farmers have already expressed their interested in these water-sustainable products that can produce more compound health benefits than traditional crops

The study has important implications as coffee production is an increasingly important driver of landscape transformation
