Chemistry plays a key role in improving food production, protecting crops, and promoting sustainable practices to eliminate world hunger. Explore noteworthy research highlighting chemistry’s impact in supporting sustainable agriculture and enhancing food security.
ACS Publications is elevating chemistry research to drive progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through special curated article Showcases, hosted by Kudos. These Showcases simplify and share scientific breakthroughs, making the global impact of chemistry more visible and accessible.
Chemistry plays a vital role in addressing hunger worldwide. It enhances food production through high-yield seeds and improved fertilization, protects crops from pests and disease, extends shelf life via better packaging, and promotes food safety. Innovations in fortified foods help fight malnutrition, while sustainable solutions like ammonia synthesis, phosphate recycling, and precision crop protection strengthen food security for future generations.
This Showcase highlights research aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger, featuring articles that examine innovative strategies, advanced practices, and emerging technologies aimed at fostering sustainable agriculture.
