Farm machinery is rapidly shifting from automation to autonomy, integrating GPS, AI, and data systems. At Agritechnica, trends were clear: more robots, global participation, and China’s growing role in high-tech ag. Full autonomy isn’t here yet, but the future is coming fast....

Climate change and the drive for a more resilient food system are reshaping how companies measure and manage sustainability....

With agriculture facing one of the nation's highest suicide rates, ISA is expanding its mission beyond agronomy to provide Mental Health First Aid training, share farmer stories, and connect producers with mental health resources....

In this Voices of Agriculture feature, Solito Sumulong reflects on lessons drawn from years at the forefront of this transition—from pheromone biocontrols and nanotechnology to peptide bioinsecticides....

Global experts at the 2025 ABBC symposium urged stronger science communication to counter misinformation on agricultural biotechnologies, adopting the Lusaka Declaration to support food security....

Maximum Residue Limits are legal benchmarks for pesticide use, not safety thresholds, and decades of monitoring show our food supply remains well within safe limits....

Investing in agricultural research—domestic and international—yields high returns that strengthen U.S. farming, trade, and food security....

EPA’s reliance on screening-level risk assessments to guide pesticide mitigation under the ESA creates uncertainty, underscoring the need for higher-tier science to ensure both effective species protection and fair outcomes for agriculture....

For decades, low-moisture foods such as wheat, flour, nuts, and spices were regarded as “microbiologically safe” because of their low moisture content. This attribute has led to a general confidence that these products are low-risk foods (Jung & Harris, 2022). However, recent outbreaks and recalls, which were previously unexpected, tell...

Tassel wrapping, an unusual phenomenon reported across Midwestern corn fields this summer, occurs when leaves trap the developing tassel and delay pollen shed, disrupting pollination timing and potentially reducing yields....

With science-based leadership, agriculture can navigate the PFAS challenge....
