Global food systems pose increasing harms to human health and the environment, so how can we shift toward healthier, sustainable, and more equitable systems for the world’s 8 billion people?

In a new #ScienceReview, researchers examine the evidence for how global diets have changed and strategies that could transition food systems toward a healthier future.

Happy vernal equinox! 🍀

Today marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.

After today, the Sun will shine more directly on the Northern Hemisphere than on the Southern Hemisphere until the autumnal equinox.

A unique Rubisco subunit from the hornwort plant carries a built-in extension that enables the enzyme to cluster into carbon-concentrating structures like algae, according to a new Science study—an innovation that successfully triggered similar condensates when introduced into Arabidopsis plants.

The findings reveal a novel and evolutionarily independent solution for Rubisco condensation in land plants and open the door for engineering similar systems in agricultural crops to potentially boost nutrient efficiency and yield.
