Issue #7: “Biosolutions in textile production” (2024)
How biology can make textile production more sustainable
We all want future generations to inherit a planet with clean water and a healthy environment. But have you noticed how, despite our best intentions, the Earth is showing signs of wear and tear?
It’s becoming clear that we need to take corrective steps fast - across the board.
Have you ever thought about how your clothes could be impacting the environment? The jeans you live in, the hoodie that’s your go-to, even that suit you wear to work – many of them start with natural fibers like cotton. But despite the natural origin, harsh chemicals are deeply embedded in the textile industry's value chain from the very start of the process through to the finished product.Learn how biology can make textile production more sustainable.
Issue #6: “Microbial power in agriculture” (2024)
Making the soil work to feed 10 billion by 2050
The global population is projected to hit 10 billion by 2050, posing a critical challenge: how can we produce enough food sustainably? Climate change further complicates this issue, but bacteria and fungi are enhancing agricultural practices, making them more eco-friendly and increasing crop yields.
Soil’s secret helpers: harnessing microbial power in agriculture
Imagine you’re visiting a carrot farm. Your friend, the farmer, hands you a freshly pulled carrot. Would you eat it without washing it? Probably not! The rhizosphere—the space around plant roots—can contain up to one billion bacteria per gram of soil. This region also includes nematodes, fungi, algae, viruses, and parasites.
