Rising CO2 levels are driving faster plant growth but reducing nutrient density, with alarming impacts across ecosystems.gian

On Jan. 24, President Trump signed an executive order making it easier for both the Keystone XL and the DAPL to go forward.

The Trump administration “has sidelined scientists and experts, flattened the morale of the career staff, and by all accounts is bent on hollowing out the agency."

A proposed merger between Bayer AG and Monsanto passed a United States regulatory hurdle despite opposition from various food and farm groups.
