Future of Food in 2050 By 2050, the global population is expected to reach 10 billion people, creating an unprecedented demand for food. According to estimates, sixty percent more food will need to be produced to feed this growing population. The FAO estimates that food production needs to increase by 70% in 2050 to feed the global population. […]
Water and Agriculture in 2050 Water is the foundation of life, sustaining ecosystems, supporting human survival, and driving economic development. Among its many essential roles, agriculture remains the largest consumer of freshwater, accounting for nearly 70% of global water use. However, as we approach 2050, a looming water crisis threatens to upend this delicate balance,

Role of RNA Capping in Regulation of E. coli Metabolism Introduction RNA capping is a crucial post-transcriptional modification that plays a fundamental role in RNA stability, translation efficiency, and overall cellular function. In eukaryotes, the well-characterized canonical 5’ cap structure (m7GpppN) protects mRNA from degradation and facilitates efficient translation. However, recent advancements in RNA biology

Introduction Soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling is a fundamental process in the Earth system, influencing climate regulation, ecosystem productivity, and soil health (Lal, 2004). Current soil carbon models primarily rely on mass balance equations, which focus on carbon fluxes but overlook the critical role of energy transformations that occur simultaneously (Manzoni & Porporato, 2009). These

Introduction Symmetry breaking is a fundamental biological process that drives the development of complex structures from initial symmetrical forms. In plants, this phenomenon is particularly evident during flower development, where radial symmetry (actinomorphy) or bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy) emerges, contributing to the vast diversity of floral forms observed in nature (Coen & Meyerowitz, 1991). Understanding the
