Study Reveals Ag Tech Can Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions |
|
A new study led by Benjamin Z. Houlton, the Ronald P. Lynch Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University, and Maya Almaraz, associate research scholar at Princeton University shows that state-of-the-art agricultural technology and management can not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but eliminate it altogether by producing net negative emissions, reducing more greenhouse gas than food systems add.

Bioengineered Bacteria to Produce Electricity from Wastewater |
|
Researchers from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland successfully engineered Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria to generate electricity from wastewater through extracellular electron transfer (EET). In this process, the bioengineered bacteria produces electricity by metabolizing a variety of organic substrates.
