Nature Water, Published online: 05 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s44221-026-00642-9 Crop models increasingly project that irrigation can offset agricultural losses from climate change, informing major adaptation investments worldwide. Yet these models may systematically overestimate irrigation’s protective capacity because the representation of how irrigation alters crop thermal environments remains inco…

Nature, Published online: 05 May 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01409-8 Unless governments treat fertilizer production as strategic infrastructure, the world will keep lurching from energy shock to harvest failure.

Every yellowtail snapper excretes ammonia. It cannot help doing so; it is a metabolic inevitability, the nitrogen-rich byproduct of a fish eating, breathing, living at commercial density in a tank on Virginia Key, Florida. In a conventional aquaculture operation, that ammonia accumulates in the effluent water until it becomes a problem, sometimes a serious one, for the marine environment downstre…

Protected cultivation systems offer opportunities for improving potato productivity but are often constrained by inefficient maize stover utilization and suboptimal fertilization practices. In this study, a 4 × 4 factorial experiment was conducted using the potato cultivar ‘Jishu No. 1’ to decode the rhizosphere microbial mechanisms underpinning plant growth and yield enhancement under greenhouse…

Marigold flower proteins exhibit solubility, emulsifying, and antioxidant properties with potential applications in food formulation.

_Iosr Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology_ 20 (5):01-07. 2026Aim: Noodle production in sub-Saharan Africa is determined by the ultra-refined and imported wheat flour. This significantly contributes to foreign exchange expenditure and dietary imbalance. Study Design: This study evaluated the nutritional composition, mineral and vitamin profiles and cooking quality of n…

Cheesy vegetarian sliders with pickles and slaw, and caramelised cheesy cabbage wedges Cabbage is one of my favourite ingredients. I love it for its versatility, and also because it’s nutritious and incredibly satisfying to cook with. I’ve been putting cabbage on my menus for more than two decades now, and at Our Farm in Cartmel , Cumbria, we grow hundreds of varieties to use across my restaurant…

In this week’s Food for Thought roundup, we learn if eggs are a reliable economic indicator, how CSU-bred wheat has influenced Colorado’s ag industry, and how our water experts are looking at the worsening drought, and explain why you saw thousands of blue jackets on campus last week.

Chronic limb disuse during the active growth phase can induce complex secondary deformities, including paradoxical bone overgrowth. A 12-month-old neutered male Toy Poodle presented with non-weight-bearing right forelimb lameness resulting from a chronic shoulder malunion following failed stabilization of a medial luxation. Computed tomography revealed a complete nonunion of the shoulder joint wi…

IntroductionSustainable management of bioactive-rich byproducts, including pomegranate peels, is crucial to support the rise of environmentally resilient intensive camel farming. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of pomegranate peel extract (PPE) (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg) on methane production gas production, nutrient digestibility, and predictive values in camels through in…

IntroductionWeaning from artificial milk feeding represents a critical transition in intensively reared dairy lambs, involving dietary change, relocation, and social reorganization, all of which may compromise welfare, immune status, and growth performance. Melatonin, owing to its anxiolytic, antioxidant, and immuno-modulatory properties, has been proposed as a potential strategy to mitigate stre…

IntroductionGuanidinoacetic acid (GAA), the direct precursor of creatine, has been shown to improve growth performance in monogastric animals, but its metabolic effects in ruminants remain unclear. This study examined whether dietary GAA and rumen-protected GAA (RPGAA) are associated with changes in intestinal creatine-related metabolism, portal nutrient concentrations, and hepatic IGF-1 expressi…
