Modern farming methods have lifted millions of people out of poverty. → Agrochemicals. → Mechanization. → Genetics. We can feed more people and preserve biodiversity by improving land-use productivity through increasing crop yields.

GM crops don’t: •Cause cancer. •Create allergies. •Harm the environment. •Reduce nutritional value. But they do: •Improve crop yield. •Contribute to sustainability. •Reduce the need for pesticides. •Help farmers produce more food.

Students: the Consulate General of Germany in Mumbai will open more visa appointment slots over the next few days to accommodate the surge in applications to study in Germany, hoping to help facilitate the growing demand, we‘re on it 🇩🇪🇮🇳📚

It is estimated that nitrogen fertilizer now supports approximately half of the global population. In other words, Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch — the pioneers of this technological breakthrough — are estimated to have enabled the lives of several billion people, who otherwise

When India 🇮🇳 dominated the world. Finally - released this week. William Dalrymple´s book «The Golden Road» is here. This is the book about the 1500 years of world history when ancient Indian transformed the world. Its hard to underestimate how Western scholars suppressed the

Another super generous rave for The Golden Road, this time in The FT: "An outstanding new account of ancient India’s cultural conquest of the globe... The Golden Road is an absorbingly literary history, a tale of tales, and, in Dalrymple’s telling, it was most notably through

Are you interested in bringing innovation to farming? Our Master of Science in Agronomy degree provides advanced knowledge and skills in crop production, soil management, and agricultural research to help you do just that. Learn more about this degree at: tx.ag/SCSCagronomy

Humans have been improving crops for 1000’s of years. Corn is just one of the foods that is unrecognizable from its wild ancestors, thanks to these genetic improvements. Growing more food per acre is leaving more land for nature.

"Postdoc positions can be exploitative." My latest story—about a study showing that international postdocs in the U.S. are paid less and received less careeer support and guidance than U.S. citizens. #AcademicChatter #postdocs Science Careers science.org/content/articl…

Scientists develop a super "Golden Lettuce." ↳ Rich in vitamin A. Researchers have developed an innovative method to biofortify lettuce and other green plant tissues, significantly increasing their beta-carotene content. Beta-carotene is the primary precursor of vitamin A,

Do you only eat natural foods? Here is your wild corn. Corn is not naturally occurring. It was domesticated by 10,000 years of selective breeding from a grass called teosinte.

A great loss to the Global Agricultural Community! Dr. Singh was a wonderful mentor and scientist. He will be deeply missed. #tamu #internationalagriculture #plantbreeding

→ GM crops are not threats. → They’re innovations. Humans have been modifying the genetics of plants for thousands of years. We have only just learnt how to do it faster. ↳ It’s unacceptable that fear hinders the adoption of advanced agricultural technologies.
