After decades of growth, the use of antimicrobials—including antibiotics—in livestock peaked in 2013 and then dropped by nearly a third by 2020, finds a major new study led by UCL researchers. The decline is positive, as overusing antimicrobials in animals can create drug-resistant bacteria, which can lead to human harm. However, despite this trend, the study also found that richer developed countries continue to drive demand for antimicrobial-heavy products by importing large quantities of foods and products from emerging economies that still use farms with high-levels of antimicrobials.

Nitrogen pollution is a serious concern for the agriculture industry. Agricultural fertilizers contain nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plant health. However, these fertilizers also produce nitrogen runoff, which occurs when excess nitrogen seeps into the surrounding environment, like waterways. This causes toxic algal blooms, which disrupt aquatic ecosystems and pollute drinking water. Further, nitrogen from agricultural processes can pollute the air in the form of nitrous oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

arXiv:2601.16405v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coverage Path Planning (CPP) is a fundamental capability for agricultural robots; however, existing solutions often overlook energy constraints, resulting in incomplete operations in large-scale or resource-limited environments. This paper proposes an energy-aware CPP framework grounded in Soft Actor-Critic (SAC) reinforcement learning, designed for grid-based environments with obstacles and charging stations. To enable robust and adaptive decision-making under energy limitations, the framework integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for spatial feature extraction and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for temporal dynamics. A dedicated reward function is designed to jointly optimize coverage efficiency, energy consumption, and return-to-base constraints. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach consistently achieves over 90% coverage while ensuring energy safety, outperforming traditional heuristic

If you've been paying attention to mainstream nutrition commentary lately, you've probably encountered a curious narrative: that concerns about seed oils are overblown, that the science doesn't support the alarm, and that worrying about the vegetable oils in your food is — as one popular talking point puts it — "stepping over $100 bills to pick up pennies." This dismissive attitude has been spreading through podcasts, social media, and health influencer circles. And I have to be direct with you: it represents either a profound misunderstanding of basic biochemistry or something more troubling. When you see a parade of influential voices all singing from the same hymn sheet — one that conveniently aligns with the interests of a multi-billion-dollar vegetable oil industry — you have to at least consider who benefits from this message. Consider this: your great-grandparents consumed virtually no soybean oil. Today, the average American consumes over 1,000 times more. This isn't a
