🔬 Excited to Share Our Latest Review Publication! 🔬 We've just published an insightful review on "Nanotechnological Innovations in Agrochemicals: Enhancing Efficacy and Environmental Stewardship in Pesticide and Herbicide Applications" in the Middle East Research Journal of Agriculture and Food Science. This paper explores the transformative potential of nanotechnology in agriculture, aiming to increase pesticide efficacy, nutrient use efficiency, and environmental safety. We delve into the advantages of nano-pesticides and herbicides and the critical role of nano-sensors in detection and targeted application. The collaborative effort across various institutes highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in overcoming the challenges of conventional agricultural practices and setting new standards for sustainability.

Last week, we introduced this month’s Texas Tech Innovator, Dr. Chris Rock from the Texas Tech University - College of Arts & Sciences. The molecular biologist and his team have recently developed an innovative technology that employs precision genetic editing techniques to create new cotton plant varieties, offering targeted solutions to enhance crop traits and strengthen defenses, thereby reducing reliance on pesticides. Cotton is a vital agricultural crop, covering 32 million hectares of cropland and producing over 26 million metric tons annually, making its production crucial to the global economy. Dr. Rock’s innovation utilizes CRISPR-Cas9 technology to edit the jasmonate (a biotic stress adaptation hormone) signaling response genes of cotton plants, resulting in new varieties with improved pest resistance and enhanced fiber quality and yield. This technology bolsters the plants' natural defenses against bollworms and the boll weevil, which inflict significant damage by feeding on flower buds, squares, bolls, and seeds.

🇧🇪Ghent boasts a thriving biotech sector, and has done since the 1960s. Initiatives such as The ProteInn Club, and research groups like the Centre for Microbial Ecology and Technology (CMET), are actively involved in the growing market for sustainable proteins, particularly fermentation-based and alternative ones. 🔎We were keen to learn more about Ghent's role as hub for fermentation-based proteins, so we spoke to Willy Verstraete and Myrsini Sakarika, both from CMET, reflecting on the significant advances in the field of sustainable proteins.

In this new blog on the Campden BRI website, I talk about how processing technologies can be used to facilitate clean label product development but here is my quick summary: 1. Traditional preservation technologies like canning and freezing continue to play a foundational role as they enable the removal of preservatives. 2. I'm seeing new technologies for shelf-life extension emerge that are focused on decarbonisation - these technologies play a dual role in that they facilitate clean label whilst helping companies move towards net zero. 3. Non thermal techniques like High Pressure Processing and Pulsed Electric Fields will continue to gain traction, particularly in high value products. They can be particularly useful to retain heat sensitive ingredients like natural colours 4. New technologies like precision fermentation and gene editing open up all sorts of exciting possibility for ingredient development and sustainability benefits. #FoodTechnology #FoodScience #FoodManufacturing https://lnkd.in/eskVxeyU

It's not every day you read about a one-in-a-billion-year event, is it? Especially one that could lead to all new forms of life. Unfortunately, as you'd expect with something that happens once every few epochs and only twice before in our planet's history, none of us is likely to be around to see where this will go. But it is an opportunity for us to get insights like never before into the origins of the world around us and understand evolution. These lessons aren't just philosophical ones either - they can have a very real impact on our lives and tackle the biggest issues facing us. This latest discovery, for instance, could change agriculture and help improve crop growing efficiency. With all the tech innovations and advances happening around us every day, it can be humbling to see what nature is capable of. This news is a great reminder to look for lessons wherever we can. #Science #Technology #Innovation #Sustainability
