Plant molecular farming delivers a new way to produce scalable, profitable animal-free cheese that fulfills authentic cheese cravings Rehovot, Israel – Food-tech start-up NewMoo, Ltd. makes its debut in the “happy cow” space by using plant molecular farming (PMF) to produce casein proteins for making cheese. Caseins comprise about 80% of the proteins in dairy milk. The resulting product allows cheesemakers to deliver the same genuine cheese experience as traditional dairy cheese via a cost-effective, animal-free, and sustainable pathway. Until now, cheese alternatives have struggled to offer consumers the real cheese experience, nutrition, and price. Cheese analogs do not contain…

Accelerating on farm action, improving emissions accounting and investing in long term research are the latest tool being funded by the Australian Government to help farmers become more profitable in a changing climate Australia has reserved $63.8 million in the 2024-25 Budget to support the reduction of emissions in the agriculture industry and contribute to the whole-of-economy transition to net zero.

Microbial consortia were also effective in mitigating plant abiotic stresses, such as exposure to heavy metals, water deficit and soil salinization Researchers at Federal University of Lavras (UFLA)  report that the use of microbial consortia offers significant benefits for plant growth, surpassing traditional inoculation methods with single species. Recent studies have revealed that the combination of microorganisms like Bradyrhizobium and Pseudomonas oryzihabitans increased soybean yield by 11% in comparison with individually treated plants. The approach also promoted more robust root growth and better nutrient accumulation. Based on a comprehensive literature review, researchers report researcher at the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA) Peterson Nunes explains, consortia involving…
