Adsorption of Copper by Naturally and Artificially Aged Polystyrene Microplastics and Subsequent Release in Simulated Gastrointestinal Fluid

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Thibault Béranger Masset, Lu Zhou

Microplastics, especially aged microplastics can become vectors of metals from environment to organisms with potential negative effects on food chain. However, a few studies focused on the bioavailability of adsorbed metals and most studies related to aged ...

Civil war hinders crop production and threatens food security in Syria

Li Mi, Xi Li

Assessing the impact of violent conflict on Syrian agriculture is challenging given data limitations and attributability issues. Using satellite data at 30 m spatial resolution, we found that the extent of productive cropland showed greater interannual var ...

THE GOOD GROWTH PLAN FARM NETWORK – MONITORING RESOURCE EFFICIENCY OF CROP PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

The FAO estimates that food supplies need to increase by 70% to feed a growing population of 9 billion people by 2050. The changes in agricultural practices required to grow more tend to exert higher demand on resources and put eco-system services at risk ...

A sustainable production of algal biomass integrating wastewater treatment and bioenergy generation

Christian Ludwig, Céline Terrettaz, Mariluz Bagnoud

This project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of producing renewable microalgae biomass using as a main nutrient source a secondary wastewater stream. It is planned to purify the wastewater by the growth of algal biomass while producing a feedstock that ...

Dualities in plant tolerance to pollutants and their uptake and translocation to the upper plant parts

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel

There is a duality in plant tolerance to pollutants and its response to the pollutants’ stress. On the one hand some plants, (hyper)tolerant to heavy metals, are able to hyperaccumulate these metals in shoots, which could be beneficial for phytoremediation ...

Techno-economic and environmental evaluation of lignocellulosic biochemical refineries: need for a modular platform for integrated assessment (MPIA)

Edgard Gnansounou, Juan David Villegas Gomez

Ethanol production from lignocellulosic residues has potential to significantly improve sustainability of biofuels for transport by avoiding land-use competition with food crops and reducing impacts related to agricultural inputs. However, high production ...
