1/ Is the future of sustainable and resilient food production growing plants in skyscrapers? Check out our latest article in @plantphys.bsky.social where we explore whether vertical farms are economically viable and offer environmental benefits doi.org/10.1093/plph...
1/ We need new ways of producing foods and fuels to minimise our impact on our planet. Our new paper now in @natbiotech.nature.com examines whether microbes hold the key to producing foods and fuels in the future Open access: rdcu.be/eiIUu nature.com/articles/s41...
