New trends in sustainable packaging

The packaging is an integral part of the food we eat. Unless you eat something straight from the tree after picking it, the food you eat is involved in one way or another with some form of packaging. The use of packaging allows for products to last longer and is therefore associated with less food waste. However, not all packaging is created equally.

Packaging has positive and negative impacts on the environment. On the one hand, we have packaging-related emissions and waste; and on the other, packaging allows us to move and distribute goods that would otherwise be unavailable.

¿Superará Perú a Chile como principal proveedor de arándanos para el mercado chino?

Creo que Perú tiene el potencial de superar a Chile como el principal proveedor de arándanos para el mercado chino por varias razones. Además del hecho de que Perú, al igual que Chile, puede suministrar arándanos cuando la temporada china ha terminado por ser un país del hemisferio sur, también es capaz de cultivar la fruta durante todo el año. Es decir, los agricultores pueden hacer coincidir la cosecha de arándanos con el momento de mayor demanda en el mercado chino.

Detect thy family: Mechanisms, ecology and agricultural aspects of kin recognition in plants

Plants often grow in dense vegetation stands, such as grasslands, woodlands, forests or agricultural fields, where there are usually intensive interactions with neighbours. These interactions can occur in the form of resource competition, facilitative habitat modification or communication. The ubiquity and diversity of plant–plant interactions entail that the effects of a given set of traits for an individual cannot be viewed independently of the characteristics of its neighbours (e.g., Cabal, Martínez‐García, de Castro Aguilar, Valladares, & Pacala, 2020; Riechert & Hammerstein, 1983). Plant–plant interactions in turn also play a key role in driving ecosystem processes such as carbon uptake, water and nutrient balances, interactions with other non‐plant organisms as well as crop yields (see review Anten & During, 2011).
