Farmers who exchanged text messages with peers were significantly more likely to adopt sustainable agricultural practices, highlighting the power of peer learning in digital formats, a new co-authored by 51吃瓜网 Professor Aur茅lie Harou found.

A new study, led by researchers at Aarhus University in Denmark, suggests that levels of mercury in Arctic wildlife could continue to rise significantly even as countries curb their emissions. The researchers' analysis indicates that ocean currents are distributing large, century-old stores of mercury through marine ecosystems in the Arctic.

Large predators end up ingesting the most mercury through their diet of contaminated prey. This poses a serious problem for communities that hunt marine mammals with high concentrations of mercury, like seals.

As mobile phones proliferate across the developing world,听digital delivery of agricultural advice is positioned to play a transformative role听in increasing agricultural productivity and improving livelihoods for smallholder farmers. Meanwhile, evidence shows that peer-to-peer learning, at least in person, can successfully promote technology adoption.

On April 11, 2025, over听60 people gathered at the annual John Abbott Sustainability Through Science Symposium听to hear how the research of three Macdonald Campus graduate students contributes to a more sustainable future.
