How post-harvest innovation strengthens global food security
A surprising amount of food is lost between harvest and market, but this is not always the case. Jack Shaw explores innovations that increase food security, profitability, and sustainability. Around the world, a significant portion of harvested food does not reach markets, stores and supermarkets and is lost during handling, processing or distribution chains. This […]

Leading research on agricultural and companion animals
The research and teaching programmes at the University of Guelph’s Department of Animal Biosciences underpin the ethical and sustainable production of food and animal products and care of companion animals that enhance human and animal health and wellbeing. The Department of Animal Biosciences (ABSc) – a globally recognised leader in animal health, welfare and sustainable […]
Agricultural waste permanently removes chemicals from food crops.
A new study of radishes grown in soil contaminated with PFAS has found that iron-enriched hemp biochar made from agricultural waste can significantly and permanently reduce the amount of chemicals transferred from contaminated soil to food crops. The research team collected PFAS-contaminated sandy soil from a former fire training range in Connecticut. Long-term use of […]
Positioning Europe as an important hub for life sciences
The Innovation Platform examines the recently introduced European Life Sciences Strategy and its aim to accelerate Europe’s leadership in the life sciences sector. Life sciences (the study of living organisms and life processes) are essential to our health, environment, and economy, and have important applications in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. Recognizing the importance of this […]
How on-farm methane monitoring can unlock hidden productivity gains
Agcent’s methane measurement technology helps beef producers turn emissions data into powerful productivity insights. For decades, beef producers have relied on tangible performance indicators such as body condition, weight gain, and reproductive success. But one of the biggest drivers of profitability remains hidden. It is the methane emissions of individual animals and the feed efficiency […]
Why global collaboration is key to unlocking 6G networks
The Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance emphasizes the importance of global cooperation in strengthening digital infrastructure and progressing towards a 6G world. While the potential of 5G is still unknown, discussions about 6G are slowly gaining momentum. Positioned as the next evolution of communications networks in the 2030s, 3GPP (the global standards body for mobile […]
Satellite launch tests ‘unhackable’ quantum communications
The SpeQtre satellite, a collaboration between the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), RAL Space and Singapore’s SpeQtral, will demonstrate secure quantum communications between UK and Singapore ground stations. While quantum computing promises breakthroughs in many fields, from medicine to finance, it also threatens to break the encryption that currently protects everything from online […]
