Water scarcity is not only a climate issue. It is also a land-use issue.
A Nature Water study found that changing crop combinations in major U.S. river basins could reduce irrigation water demand while still considering farm income. In water-stressed areas, shifting away from highly water-intensive crops and using fallowing in suitable contexts may offer significant savings.
Smarter crop choices can help protect freshwater systems and make agriculture more resilient.

Soil biodiversity is not only important for ecosystems. It can also open doors for science.
Researchers studying soil-dwelling myxobacteria identified new taxonomic diversity and five new classes of bioactive compounds. Some of these compounds showed antifungal, antiviral, or antibacterial activity.
The finding highlights why microbial diversity matters. The living world beneath the surface may hold compounds and functions that are still unknown.
