An article on how plants handle dry conditions written for—and peer reviewed by—kids aged 8-15 years.
To continue producing enough food for the world, we need to adapt our crops by changing their genetic code or by domesticating their more resilient ancestors.
Gene editing and plant domestication are essential to protect food supplies in a worsening climate, according to an international team of researchers, led by The University of Western Australia.
We all rely on agriculture for our food, but the escalating climate crisis is placing increasing stress on the world’s crops. Modern crop varieties, domesticated to maximize yield and harvest efficiency, lack the genetic flexibility to adapt to the environmental challenges now reshaping our planet.

An international regulatory framework, including policy support for research, infrastructure, safety, and market development, could position green hydrogen as a global energy commodity, argues Dr Leticia M. Torres-Martínez, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, México.

Crucial advances in technology could allow us to harness the power of the sun to split water into hydrogen and oxygen and siphon off renewable fuel.
More work is needed if we are to break the 5% efficiency barrier, but the team is confident this will be possible in the future.

In 2019 alone, more than half a million people died due to a stroke linked to high and low temperatures, a new study found. With the world getting warmer due to human-made climate change, that number is expected to rise.
In a rapidly growing and changing world, the need to produce enough food for everyone has become more urgent than ever.
Researchers explore how dynamic environmental control in indoor farms could help us feed a growing population with nutritious, high-quality, locally grown fruit and vegetables.
Over the poles, an increasing amount of precipitation will fall as rain, weather researchers predict.
Study identifies 16,825 sites around the world where prioritizing conservation would prevent extinction of thousands of unique species.
A “feasible and financially affordable” plan to avoid the most likely extinctions of species in the short term: this is what an international coalition of ecologists and conservation stakeholders proposes in a study.
Large numbers of fungi have been found living in the twilight zone of the ocean, and could unlock the door to new drugs that may match the power of penicillin.
A trove of more than 300 million gene groups from ocean bacteria, fungi and viruses has been made freely available online.
