16 Sep 2024 --- Biologists at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) have harvested their first crop of climate-smart soybeans, which were grown in collaboration with marginalized farmers in South Texas, US. The harvest falls under a US$5 million project funded by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to examine whether climate-smart agricultural practices can slash greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while improving yield. Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are among the gasses that contribute significantly to climate change.
