Even as the government is beginning to bestow the much-needed attention on the farm sector to boost its growth...

Even as the debate over health effects of pesticides continues to rage, a study conducted by the Punjabi University...

There is a shortage of food across the world and experts are trying to come up with ways in which the shortfall in supplies can be made up.

Even as Punjab struggles to shrug off the tag of a state with the highest use of pesticides in the country, it is faced with another problem...

A lone farmer rids a vast 200 acres of farm land of all pests with the use of ancient Indian science of Ayurveda.

Injudicious use telling on soil, crops and public health, Punjab pushes alternatives. There have been few takers.

Some would call David Rumsey a cartophile, while others may put it more bluntly and say he’s obsessed. Over 30 years he’s personally accumulated over 150,000 maps and he's just donated them all to Stanford University.

This week we have stories on what the rogue Parkinson’s protein is doing in the gut, how chimps outmuscle humans, and evidence for an ancient skull cult with Online News Editor David Grimm. Jen Golbeck is back with this month’s book segment. She interviews Alan Alda about his new book on science communication: If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face? Sarah Crespi talks to Jeremy Kerr about two huge studies that take a nuanced looked at the relationship between pesticides and bees. Read the research in Science: Country-specific effects of neonicotinoid pesticides on honey bees and wild bees, B.A. Woodcock et al. Chronic exposure to neonicotinoids reduces honey bee health near corn crops, Tsvetkov et al. Listen to previous podcasts. [Image: webted/Flickr; Music: Jeffrey Cook]

As you age, your cells divide over and over again, leading to minute changes in their genomes. New research reveals that in the lining of the esophagus, mutant cells run rampant, fighting for dominance over normal cells. But they do this without causing any detectable damage or cancer. Host Sarah Crespi talks to Phil Jones, a professor of cancer development at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, about what these genome changes can tell us about aging and cancer, and how some of the mutations might be good for you. Most Western farmers apply their pesticides using drones and machinery, but in less developed countries, organophosphate pesticides are applied by hand, resulting in myriad health issues from direct exposure to these neurotoxic chemicals. Host Meagan Cantwell speaks with Praveen Vemula, a research investigator at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in Bengaluru, India, about his latest solution—a cost-effective gel that can be applied to the skin to limit pesticide-related toxicity and mortality.
