A recent study involving Kansas State University researchers finds that in the coming decades at least one-quarter of the world's wheat production will be lost to extreme weather from climate change if no adaptive measures are taken.

The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (FPAQ) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT) announce the launch of the Research Partnership Program on the Food Science Behind Maple – The Physical Chemistry of Cooking with Maple. Conceived by the FPAQ, the program, with an overall budget of $1.4 million over five years, aims to promote development of knowledge on the physicochemical and sensory attributes of maple products, and to highlight the flavour chemistry of maple and how its taste harmonizes with ingredients from the world's cuisines.

Texas Tech researchers are beginning to understand how antibiotic-resistant bacteria travel aerially.

For every degree Celsius that the temperature increases, the world loses 6 percent of its wheat crop, according to a new global study led by a University of Florida (UF) scientist. That’s one fourth of the annual global wheat trade, which reached 147 million tons in 2013.
