Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) is engineering staple food crops to more efficiently turn the sun’s energy into yield to sustainably increase worldwide food productivity, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR), and the U.K. Government’s Department for International Development (DFID). Photosynthesis uses the enzyme Rubisco—the planet’s most abundant protein—and sunlight energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugars that fuel plant growth and yield. Over millennia, Rubisco has become a victim of its own success, creating an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Unable to reliably distinguish between the two molecules, Rubisco grabs oxygen instead of carbon dioxide about 20 percent of the time, resulting in a plant-toxic compound that must be recycled through the process of photorespiration. I wanted to create a beautiful world for her and that started by creating beautiful food. Something I had control of, I really felt the pressures of the restrictions at the time topped with the fussiness of her appetite I was struggling to find ways to get her to eat well and get all the nutrients she needed to flourish.

Making us leaders in revolutionising plant based dairy free, additive free, sugar free and preservative free smoothie bowls, combing the freshest bases and freshest toppings each and every time! 💓⁣ In version 2.0 we will allow users to watch the donated forests grow with satellite images. Stay tuned! Photorespiration is anti-photosynthesis,” said lead author Paul South, a research molecular biologist with the Agricultural Research Service, who works on the RIPE project at Illinois. “It costs the plant precious energy and resources that it could have invested in photosynthesis to produce more growth and yield.” Nuclear-armed North Korea launched the satellite Tuesday, but South Korean defense officials and analysts said its capabilities have not been independently verified. Diet contains different doses of hazelnut oil that affects the serum cholesterol profile and induced a high level of HDLThe Plant-for-the-Planet children and youth initiative was launched in January 2007 after Wangari Maathai and the UNEP had called to action via the Billion Tree Campaign. At the end of his school presentation about the current climate crisis, nine-year-old Felix Finkbeiner announced his vision to his classmates: “Let’s plant one million trees in every country on earth!” The top diplomats of the United States, South Korea and Japan spoke Friday and 'strongly condemned the [Nov. 21] launch for its destabilizing effect on the region,' the U.S. State Department said in a statement. Vitamin C is an important micronutrient for human beings, and its multi-effect function is associated with its capacity to provide electrons. It is an effective antioxidant and cofactor for biosynthesis and gene regulation enzymes. It is an antioxidant that assists in destroying free radicals and regulating the body’s natural immune reaction. Vitamin C sources include red capsicum, tangerine, red strawberries, kiwi, green broccoli, mango, lime, citrus fruits, tomato juice, and potatoes [ 16, 17]. The activity of plasma increased in the formulated diet while lowering the activity of thiol levels, plasma catalase, and glutathione peroxidase

While it will likely take more than a decade for this technology to be translated into food crops and achieve regulatory approval, RIPE and its sponsors are committed to ensuring that smallholder farmers, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, will have royalty-free access to all of the project’s breakthroughs.

Just select your favourite project. Donate. The trees are planted for you. No excuses. Each tree adds to the World Tree Counter. The current goal of the children and youth initiative is to plant a trillion trees worldwide. Trees are the cheapest and most effective means of binding CO 2, allowing us more time to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero and mitigate the climate crisis.
