Researchers at the University of Birmingham are evaluating Biovitae's innovative visible light technology, which targets and kills harmful bacteria using specific wavelengths. Unlike UV or chemicals, this light can be integrated into regular bulbs, providing continuous room-wide sanitisation. Early results show a significant reduction of bacteria like E. coli and Listeria on various surfaces. This promising solution could improve food safety and public health while aligning with sustainability goals.

🌱 Exciting news from Evolve Genomix! They have been awarded $270,128 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the National Science Foundation's Small Business Innovation Research Program Phase I. This funding will support the development of a low-cost, field-use DNA-based rapid diagnostic device for plant diseases. This innovative project aims to help farmers take early action against destructive plant diseases, reducing reliance on harmful pesticides and improving crop yields. #SBIR #STTR #Innovation #Agriculture 🔬 The project will focus on creating a user-friendly, affordable testing device that allows farmers to quickly identify plant diseases right in their fields. This early detection will enable more sustainable farming methods, enhance food security, and maintain U.S. competitiveness in the global food trade. The research type is Small Business Innovation Research Program Phase I, and the award will last for 8 months, starting on November 15, 2024, and ending on July 31, 2025. #SustainableFarming #FoodSecurity #TechInAg

We all know that #PFAS is bad for the environment and for human health. The same can be said about #microplastics... A new study has shown that when organisms are exposed to both at the same time, there is a synergistic effect which amplifies the toxicity of both substances. We will continue to work to #BanPFAS and #BeatPlasticPollution https://lnkd.in/eUVXjdVA

🌱 Alternative Proteins for a Sustainable Future 🌍 Last week, I had the honor of participating in the International Conference on Alternative Proteins for Food and Feed, organized by the prestigious German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung). This event brought together innovation, science, and sustainability to explore the future of food and feed. I had the opportunity to present a poster on Foodborne pathogens in Plant-Based alternative foods, sharing the results of my research and engaging with experts, academics, and professionals from around the world. 💡 It was inspiring to witness the passion and dedication driving the development of alternative proteins—an essential field to tackle global challenges such as food security, climate change, and the growing demand for sustainable resources. Thank you to the BfR and all the organizers for creating such a stimulating and collaborative platform. I’ve returned with new ideas, potential collaborations, and renewed motivation to contribute to innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. #AlternativeProteins #Sustainability #Innovation #FoodTech #Research

Sirish Subash, a 14-year-old ninth grader from Georgia, has achieved a historic win at the 2024 3M Young Scientist Challenge with his innovative device, “Pestiscand.” This AI-driven, portable tool is designed to detect pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables, giving consumers a practical way to safeguard their health. Pestiscand functions by using spectrophotometry to assess light reflections on produce. The data is then processed by a machine learning model to accurately identify harmful pesticide residues that could pose health risks. Sirish’s invention addresses a significant issue: the potential health impact of pesticide exposure in our diets. Awarded $25,000 for his breakthrough, Sirish’s ambition goes beyond awards and monetary gains. His mission is to help consumers make safer choices, reduce pesticide-related health risks, and promote healthier food practices for families globally. With this invention, Sirish is not only advancing food safety but also showing the incredible potential young innovators hold to make a positive impact.   #YoungInnovator #3MYoungScientist #PesticideDetection #FoodSafety #HealthInnovation #AIinHealth #Spectrophotometry #Pestiscand #FutureOfFood #YouthInScience

🌟 Exciting News Alert 🌟 I'm thrilled to share that my recent research on nanoplastics and their potential impact on antibiotic resistance was highlighted by First Track News! A huge thanks to First Track News for bringing attention to this work and shedding light on a critical environmental and health concern. Special thanks to Hemant Bhai for his incredible support in making this happen. It’s heartening to see scientific research reaching broader audiences, sparking conversations around sustainability, health, and innovation. #nanotechnology #environment #plasticpollution #sustainability #health #innovation #FirstTrackNews

The science is clear—our climate is changing, and the change is caused by human activity. We can still make a difference. But we must act together. When the world takes coordinated action, we know profound and lasting impacts can follow. One of the action is to use recycable /biodegradable plastic. This is a big commitment.

🌍 Last week, FAIRR participated in the World Anti-Microbial Resistance Congress which brought together global stakeholders to discuss strategies and innovations around #AntimicrobialResistance. 💊 During a fireside chat, Emma Berntman, PhD, FAIRR’s Senior Engagement Specialist, and Maria Larsson Ortino, Senior Global ESG Manager at Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM), explored the role investors can play in mitigating the development of #AMR. ✍️ They discussed the value of instigating stewardship dialogues with companies and policymakers, spotlighting concrete examples such as the latest investor statement convened by the Investor Action on Antimicrobial Resistance (IAAMR) initiative and the investor guide on AMR co-authored by FAIRR and MSCI Sustainability Institute. More broadly, participants of the Congress reaffirmed the need for increased funding of new antimicrobials and highlighted the opportunities #ArtificialIntelligence can provide, as well as the continued need for cross-disciplinary collaboration. While it was encouraging to see more discussions on the environmental aspect of antimicrobial contamination of #wastewater than in previous years, agricultural use of antibiotics was not covered as extensively - despite nearly 75% of global antibiotic use occuring in animal agriculture.
