Now Brazil is facing potential crop failures due to Russia’s freeze on fertilizer exports

March 19, 2022 -

According to Bloomberg, Russia is Brazil's top supplier of fertilizer. And Belarus, one of Russia's allies, provides 28 percent of Brazil's fertilizer imports.

Before the invasion of Ukraine, fertilizer costs were already high due to inflation. Moscow's protectionism following the invasion made it that much worse, depriving countries like Brazil of the nutrients they need to grow all kinds of farm goods.

Robot strawberry pickers better than humans?

September 20, 2018 -

The scientists aim to develop a robot that can recognize strawberries and work in natural, unstructured environments where they can pick, inspect, and pack fruits. Robots have been a great help for repetitive work on a production line. However, creating a machine that works like human strawberry pickers is challenging.

Robots must learn how to recognize strawberries and pick them without damaging them. But all strawberries are different in terms of shapes, sizes, and ...

January 18, 2023 -

This was taken as an apparent reference to Russia's nuclear arsenal. Putin also previously told the West not to push Russia against the wall and rebuked NATO countries for supplying weapons to Ukraine.

"I have some unpleasant news," said Olga Skabeeva on the Russian state TV program 60 Minutes. "Even though we are methodically destroying the weapons that are being delivered [to Ukraine], the quantities in which the United States are sending them force ...

Microplastics pick up pollution, making them even more toxic to humans

(Article by Krystal Vasquez republished from EHN.org)

In the ocean, for example, toxic compounds can hitch a ride on plastic and make the material 10 times more toxic than it would normally be, according to the research published earlier this year in Chemosphere.

Although the dangers of both microplastics and harmful compounds have been studied individually, few researchers have looked at their combined effect.

This study is also unique in that the researchers ...
