Idea: Science provides solutions to food insecurity

With the temporary shortage of some items at the grocery store in the first two years of the COVID pandemic, and now the rise in inflation, we see that we cannot take groceries for granted. With every trip to the supermarket, we see our grocery list grow. Prices at the grocery store have risen more than 13 percent in the past year, according to the Consumer Price Index. This is the largest annual increase since 1979. Our defense against COVID-19 has been bolstered by revolutionary vaccines that have been developed and delivered to millions, but we are not immune toRead News

Using a cognitive network model of moral and social beliefs to explain belief change

Why vaccines are the most important? Vaccination can not only keep you from getting sick, it can also reduce the chances of people around you getting sick. Infants, very young children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems are at risk of serious complications and even death from these preventable diseases. How important is it to get vaccinated against COVID-19? Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a safer and more reliable way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19. Vaccination against COVID-19 helps protect you by creating an antibody response without you having to experience illness, potentially including seriousRead News

Soybean photosynthesis and crop yield are improved by accelerating recovery from photoprotection.

Will improving photosynthetic efficiency help increase global food production? A group of scientists has just developed exactly that: a powerful model to see what photosynthetic activity in plants will increase the yield of wheat and sorghum. In the next two decades, crop production will need to increase to feed the world’s population. How is photosynthesis improved to increase crop yields? Evidence that there is an independent increase in leaf photosynthesis comes from two sources: (1) increased yield occurred under high [CO2] with little change in leaves or when the wheat is irrigated in the field at the level required forRead News
