Biotech firms are using climate goals opportunistically in an attempt to force through the deregulation of genetically modified crops.

All modern maize descends from a hybrid created just over 5,000 years ago in central Mexico, researchers have discovered.

Our study shows the UK must prepare for, and respond to, the risks associated with future food shortages.

Recent study investigated how fast genes are being transferred between distantly related species.

Farming has made crop plants reliant on synthetic fertilisers, but we can reactivate their ability to engage with beneficial microorganisms and make them more independent.

A new potato pangenome could help identify genetic traits for producing the next super spud, researchers say.

Conventional agriculture offers farmers few choices about which crops to grow or how to raise them. A new approach uses computing to construct better strategies with lower environmental impacts.

Farms have become less friendly for our insect friends – this must be reversed if we want food to eat.

A 90% crop loss in the Peach State may sound like a disaster, but Georgia isn’t actually the Big Apple of peach production that it claims to be.
