Looking for an easy, affordable way to get a high protein diet? Researchers of the Federal University of Rio Grande in Brazil may have come across a crunchy answer, although it might turn your stomach; cockroach-laced bread. Before you start gagging, you should know that by adding 10 percent of cockroach-based flour to the production of regular bread, the final loaf produced by these researchers contained up to 23 percent more protein than regular bread.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says the world is racing toward a climate change disaster and dismissed the global response as woefully inadequate. He says current climate policies are taking the world to a 2.8-degree temperature rise by the end of the century. "That spells catastrophe. Yet the collective response remains pitiful," Guterres tells a news conference. SOUNDBITE
During a speech at the London School of Economics (LSE) ahead of the COP26 climate conference, US Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry emphasises the importance of accelerating efforts to combat climate change 'now', highlighting that 'mathematics and physics' and not 'ideology' should be driving the push.

As climate change drives drought, and the rising global population drives food demand, the world's food security is ever more precarious. But struggling farmers may find relief from the soaring temperatures from the sun itself--and the technology that harnesses its power. HuffPost reports students at the University of Arizona noticed that vegetables grown under the cover of solar panels flourished during the hottest summer on record. The observation provided food for thought for Prof. Greg Barron-Gafford’s research in 'agrivoltaics': growing food and generating solar energy on the same land. The concept could fulfill the need for land on which to build new solar installations while also helping farmers stay afloat. It’s a case where one plus one could equal more than two.
