The wide range of plant and animal species that live on the planet – referred to as biodiversity – is now being threatened by intensive agriculture. A growing human population, however, also entails growing needs, which, in turn, requires current agricultural practices to maximize the use of available land while minimizing damage to the environment and biodiversity. Genetically modified (GM) cr...

Globally, much weight is currently being placed on agriculture to provide food for the growing population as well as feedstock for the bioenergy industry. Unfortunately, the intensification of agricultural operations to satisfy these growing needs has been associated with a number of environmental and human health risks. A review of publications on the subject was conducted and emphasis was pla...

Secondary phenolic metabolites play an important role in plant defense mechanisms, and increasing evidence indicates that many are important in human health. To date, few studies have investigated the impact of various agricultural practices on levels of secondary plant metabolites. To address this issue, the total phenolic (TP) content of marionberries, strawberries, and corn grown by sustaina...
