Forests' long-term potential for carbon offsetting
As well as cutting our fossil fuel emissions, planting new forests, or managing existing forests or agricultural land more effectively can capitalise on nature's ability to act as a carbon sink. view more (2008-04-15)
Towards an integrated assessment tool for European agricultural and environmental policies
The European Commission asked for the development of an integrated computer toolkit for an ex ante assessment for effective and efficient agricultural and environmental policies for the EU-25 in a changing Europe and world. Thirty research institutes from thirteen European countries are involved in this project 'Seamless'. The project is... view more... (2005-01-25)
Standardized house dust aids health researchers
Chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a standardized form of common house dust to support environmental scientists studying our everyday exposure to a catalog of potentially hazardous chemicals. view more (2007-02-02)
New brain cells implicated in machinery of cannabinoid signaling
The brain cells called astrocytes, and not just neurons, are sensitive to the substances called cannabinoids-the active chemicals in marijuana. view more (2008-03-27)
Toxic chemicals found in common scented laundry products, air fresheners
A University of Washington study of top-selling laundry products and air fresheners found the products emitted dozens of different chemicals. All six products tested gave off at least one chemical regulated as toxic or hazardous under federal laws, but none of those chemicals was listed on the product labels. view more (2008-07-24)
Obtaining vegetable proteins from grain legumes

Anti-rollover device for tractors
An Agricultural Mechanisation team from the Department of Rural Projects and Engineering at the Public University of Navarre have designed a new anti-rollover structure for pre-1980 registered tractors. It involves a double arch protection system located at both the front and behind the driver's seat and anchored to the chassis of a Massey... view more... (2005-02-22)
Poorer farmers benefit most from organic practices
Farmers in developing countries are reaping the benefits of adopting 'green' agricultural practices far more than their western counterparts, suggests a report published today, Thursday 14 February 2002. The report by Nicolas Parrott at Cardiff University's Department of City and Regional Planning will be launched by German Agriculture and... view more... (2002-02-12)

Eastern enlargement of the EU will boost sales of agricultural products in old and new member countries
When ten Eastern European countries join the EU next year, internal trade will increase and the structures of the agricultural and food sectors will change in both old and new Member States. This was the message of JOHAN SWINNEN, Professor of Agricultural Policy of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, addressing delegates at the opening... view more... (2003-07-01)
State of the art monitoring technologies: reducing irregularities in EU agricultural funding
Using innovative Geographic information system (GIS) technology and land parcel identification systems (LPIS), the European Commission is playing a key role in preventing agricultural subsidy irregularities. Through better monitoring of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms, the Commission is ensuring that subsidies are distributed more... view more... (2004-07-20)
New computing tool could lead to better crops and pesticides say researchers
A new computing tool that could help scientists predict how plants will react to different environmental conditions in order to create better crops, such as tastier and longer lasting tomatoes, is being developed by researchers. view more (2009-09-23)
