The ASCFG is dedicated to advancing the domestic cut flower industry by encouraging young people to consider cut flower production as a career. To foster this goal, every year the ASCFG will award $1,000 each to two students interested in becoming cut flower growers. Successful applicants will receive one-year ASCFG memberships and accompanying benefits. The program is open to students working toward a two- or four-year degree, or a graduate degree, in horticulture or floriculture. Applicants m
Rena Blake and LIsa Fingleton are new Farming for Nature Ambassadors. They are based just outside Ballybunion, North Kerry where they run a 8 hectare (20 ac) organic farm called The Barna Way. They focus mainly on organic horticulture, growing tomatoes, potatoes, salad leaves, apples and other fruit, in the orchard, polytunnel and gardens. They also keep bees and manage the farm’s native meadows for wildlife and as habitats for ground nesting birds and other creatures. Nature conservation an

Mangroves have been shown to provide $855 billion in flood protection services worldwide, according to a new study.
Scientists have uncovered surprising ways transcription factors, the genetic switches for genes, regulate plant development. Their findings reveal how subtle changes in a lipid-binding region called the START domain can dramatically alter gene regulation, paving the way for advancements in crop engineering, synthetic biology, and precision gene therapies.
Hummingbird bills -- their long, thin beaks -- look a little like drinking straws. But new research shows just how little water, or nectar, that comparison holds. Scientists have discovered that the hummingbird bill is surprisingly flexible. While drinking, a hummingbird rapidly opens and shuts different parts of its bill simultaneously, engaging in an intricate and highly coordinated dance with its tongue to draw up nectar at lightning speeds.
As climate change accelerates, scientists are sounding the alarm about its potentially devastating impact on the world's food supply. Researchers warn that without rapid changes to how we develop climate-resilient crops, we could face widespread food shortages leading to famine, mass migration, and global instability.
11-minute readkeywords: biography, history of science, taxonomy Sometimes, topics forcefully suggest themselves to me for review. With the publication in 2023 of Mark Ragan’s Kingdoms, Empires, & Domains and then, earlier this year, Jason Roberts’s Every Living Thing, the history of taxonomy put itself on my to-do list. What better book to start this three-part review with than a biography of the legend himself? Though Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) is best remembered for the system o
Researchers have tested ancient DNA from corn found at archaeological sites in Arkansas, shedding new light on the dispersal of one of the world's most important food crops.
At airports, frequently disinfecting surfaces, mask-wearing and antimicrobial surface coatings can all help prevent the spread of norovirus, according to a new study.
Across the animal kingdom, birds are some of the most colorful creatures of all. But how did all the amazingly colored different bird species arise? Nearly all birds with bright red, orange, and yellow feathers or bills use a group of pigments called carotenoids to produce their colors. However, these animals can’t make carotenoids directly. They must acquire them through their diets from the plants they eat. Parrots are the exception to this rule, having evolved an entirely new way to make colo

A diet high in ultra-processed foods is associated with higher amounts of fat stored inside thigh muscles, regardless of the amount of calories consumed or level of physical activity, according to a new study. Higher amounts of intramuscular fat in the thigh could also increase the risk for knee osteoarthritis.
Scientists have uncovered the first direct evidence that ancient Americans relied primarily on mammoth and other large animals for food. Their research sheds new light on both the rapid expansion of humans throughout the Americas and the extinction of large ice age mammals.
