Something not surprising. Did we need research for this? Apparently.
The research says:
The less intensively you manage the soil, the better the soil can function. Such as not plowing as often or using more grass-clover mixtures as cover crops. Surprisingly, it applies to both conventional and organic farming.

Supporting conservation efforts, and raising public awareness about endangered species via education are issues where contemporary zoological parks can make a worthwhile contribution to nature conservation and biological diversity from a pragmatic and a scientific perspective.

Nonetheless this vital role that zoos can play in our society requires a further rethinking of their current existence and purpose.

Insects are disappearing at an alarming rate worldwide, but why? A recent meta-analysis of over 175 studies on this topic shows that there is a complex netwerk of driving factors with agricultural intensification at the top of the list of proposed drivers.

A recent study takes a closer look at two groups who care deeply about food, for different reasons. It exposes a paradox: people who prioritise healthy eating waste less food, while those focused on sustainability do not necessarily follow through with waste reduction.

This suggests encouraging healthier eating habits might be a better way to cut household food waste than sustainability messaging alone.

When you think you're doing good for nature, it could be counterproductive. Wildflowers growing on land previously used for buildings and factories can accumulate lead, arsenic and other metal contaminants from the soil, which are consumed by pollinators as they feed, a new study has found. The metals have previously been shown to damage the health of these pollinators.

The internet of things already exists for millions of years. It's NATURE! Communication and interaction between and within ecosystems is just that! And this one we really need.
