Wendy's commercials. This question may be asked in a different context since US regulators approved the sale of lab-grown chicken meat made from cultivated cells in June 2023. 1-239653 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 09:22:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Lesotho https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/815/235574.html Food systems, from production to consumption, are complex in nature and require coordinated efforts at different levels. Food systems are the public policy decisions, the national and global supply chains and the public or private individuals and groups that influence what we eat. 1-235574 Thu, 02 Feb 2023 09:44:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Lesotho https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/815/234678.html We have little chance of tackling climate change and reducing biodiversity loss without a redesign of the world's largest industry: agriculture and food. 1-234678 Thu, 29 Dec 2022 07:15:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Lesotho https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/815/234325.html Here's the basic problem for conservation at a global level: food production, biodiversity and carbon storage in ecosystems are competing for the same land. As humans demand more food, so more forests and other natural ecosystems are cleared, and farms intensify and become less hospitable to many wild animals and plants. Therefore global conservation, currently focused on the COP15 summit in Montreal, will fail unless it addresses the underlying issue of food production. 1-234325 Fri, 09 Dec 2022 09:31:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Lesotho https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/815/231057.html Agriculture involves a difficult balance between food production and environmental impact. For example, fertilisers can help to achieve good crop yields, but over-using them produces greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. 1-231057 Thu, 01 Sep 2022 10:07:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Lesotho https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/474/224655.html The conversion of forests to agricultural land is happening at a mind-boggling speed. Between 2015 and 2020, the rate of deforestation was estimated at around 10 million hectares every year. 1-224655 Wed, 02 Feb 2022 10:11:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Lesotho https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/815/221857.html Targeted action in agriculture could have a massive impact on climate change, according to a joint brief by the Investment Centre of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) presented at the COP26 Climate Conference in Glasgow. 1-221857 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 12:25:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Lesotho https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/414/742/221927.html Livestock farmers in sub-Saharan Africa have grappled with an incessant price rise of animal feeds in recent years - caused by the scarcity and high cost of ingredients, namely, cereals, soybean, and fishmeal. The incorporation of human foods, such as fish and meat, within conventional animal feeds, has put a strain on their availability. As a result, feeds constitute an estimated 70% of input costs in poultry and fish production. This, at a time when the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations estimates that the world will have to produce 200 million tonnes more meat by 2050 to feed a projected global population of 9.1 billion. The need for alternative, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly animal feed protein sources, is clear. 1-221927 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 11:17:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Lesotho https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/1/492/221573.html Young Architects Competitions (YAC) and the Manni Group have launched the third edition of the Manni Group Design Award: Ghana Innovation Farm, which aims to enable the design of a hub from where knowledge and technologies can be shared with the local population in order to meet their needs. 1-221573 Thu, 28 Oct 2021 12:26:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Research & Development Lesotho
