For generations, modern farming has relied heavily on energy-intensive synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. But groundbreaking work by one scientist is proving that nature’s own microbes can replace much of that dependence.

Dr. Mariangela Hungria, a Brazilian microbiologist, has been named the 2025 World Food Prize Laureate for her pioneering research on biological nitrogen fixation. Her decades-long work shows how beneficial soil bacteria can naturally deliver nitrogen to crops, dramatically reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.

Nitrogen is vital for plant growth, but producing synthetic versions is costly and emits massive amounts of greenhouse gases. Hungria dedicated more than 40 years to studying rhizobia — bacteria that form symbiotic relationships with legume roots (such as soybeans and beans). These microbes convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form plants can use, in exchange for sugars from the crop.

Her practical innovations have delivered impressive results. Treating soybean seeds with specially selected rhizobia strains has increased yields by up to 8% while cutting fertilizer use. She also advanced the use of Azospirillum brasilense, another bacterium that enhances nitrogen uptake and promotes growth through natural hormone production.

The impact has been transformative. Today, Hungria’s microbial inoculants are applied across more than 99 million acres (40 million hectares) of Brazilian farmland. This approach is estimated to save farmers around $25 billion each year in fertilizer costs and prevent more than 230 million metric tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions annually.

When she began her career, many doubted that microbes could meaningfully compete with industrial fertilizers. Thanks to her persistence, Brazil has become a global leader in sustainable agriculture — proving that tiny bacteria can play a giant role in feeding the world more efficiently and cleanly.

Beam Therapeutics announced they ran a successful gene therapy trial called Beam 302, for Alpha One Antitrypsin Deficiency with many with A1Ad having their conditions reversed. I do not know when it will become available and await as patiently as I can. My levels for A1ad are on the edge of crossing over to not normal. I am still waiting for the cure to reach me and hope it can in time without getting severely sick causing damage! Till then taking precautions to stay well, I turned off the continuous pilot light top and bottom on my range and now cooking with induction and using a small toaster oven to bake. I am trying to stay as healthy as I can till the cure makes it way. #alphaoneantitrypsindeficiency

Rereading this, her Johnson roots were Scandinavian, I actually matched with a cousin who is from Sweden on DNA Match through her! It’s quite wild if you ask me! Her roots also went to Robert Dupress/ Depriest french huguenot, the rest of my findings were English going to Jamestown to William Claiborne with some very colorful characters mixed in with a coin maker and his wife, why Cincinnati came into existence. Interesting things you learn.

Day 70 of 365 days of pictures. “ Darling Daddy & Grandmother” Daddy was an academic, a college professor who taught history and psychology ,working summers as a curator through his college. He left it awhile and was a chief appraiser for Texas but passed doing what-

[Robyn @Robyn_Prender]

History. Grandmother passed years after father, she was very much a southern lady, she was very strict and her house was always impeccable. Her family have Scandinavian roots and where I get my blonde hair from. Miss them both.

@meg3639 @NorthshoreRob59 @DerrickEvans4WV Joy was raised in church, her parents are very kind people. She knows the truth, just pray for her to come back to the Lord.

[Robyn @Robyn_Prender]

There should be no debate about this: if you celebrate the tragedy of Charlie Kirk being murdered simply because he wanted to have a conversation, that is sick and evil. Repent!

Isaiah 5: 20
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Romans 1:18-32
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

[Robyn @Robyn_Prender]

@NorthshoreRob59 @DerrickEvans4WV I am shock right now. I knew Joy and her parents when she was a little girl, attended church together. She was raised knowing the truth. It’s time the parents of those in rebellion get together and start to pray! This is a spirit of rebellion.

My husband went storm chasing with his storm chaser brother and family in the RGV. #RGV #Flood #Stormchaser

[Robyn @Robyn_Prender]

We were in the RGV surrounding my mother in law with support and love as she battled sepsis. She is overcoming sepsis and so relieved! I will post the follow up, it is a miracle!
While there, Tim went with his two brother’s and sister in law , one a storm chaser and got some footage which made The Weather Channel. Subsequently after watching the footage the following day, we saw a clip of the hospital my mother in law is in with the basement floor flooding. The RGV had 14 inches of rain fall. It was a rain event and they haven’t seen that much in years.

@lavern_spicer Not sure, but sad because your outer ears help you hear.
