Too much livestock on a given amount of land can lead to carbon losses, but appropriate numbers can actually help sequester the carbon.

The team used machine learning to analyze satellite and roadside images of areas where small farms predominate and agricultural data are sparse.

Vital forest is cleared every day, with major climate effects. Satellites have revolutionized measurement of the problem, but what can we do about it?

Assistant Professor César Terrer and recent visiting student Stephen Bell describe how agricultural lands that are no longer productive could play an important role in carbon sequestration.

Fifteen principal investigators from across MIT will conduct early work to solve issues ranging from water contamination to aquaculture monitoring and management.

Matt Shoulders will lead an interdisciplinary team to improve RuBisCO — the photosynthesis enzyme thought to be the holy grail for improving agricultural yield.

Fake seeds can cost farmers more than two-thirds of expected crop yields and threaten food security. Trackable silk labels could help.

J-WAFS researchers are using remote sensing observations to build high-resolution systems to monitor drought.

Developed at SMART, the nondestructive nanosensors could have wide applications in agricultural science.

The peptide is used by legumes to control nitrogen-fixing bacteria; it may also offer leads for treating patients with too much heme in their blood.
