Agriculture

A study conducted on two snake farms has found that breeding pythons for meat is more energy and resource-efficient than current livestock production, offering a viable protein alternative.

Scientists assessed a variety of "space dishes" and determined that the optimal (and tastiest) dish for male astronauts would be a hearty vegetarian salad.

Although extinct California grizzlies upped their meat consumption following European colonization and agricultural expansion, they were mostly veggie and smaller than what historical sources claim.

Archaeologists in Norway have discovered a stone-lined tomb from the late Neolithic that holds the remains of at least five people.

Farming fundamentally altered the way humans live, eventually changing people from nomadic hunter-gatherers to sedentary city-dwellers.

Scientists in Antarctica did the unimaginable: They grew a bounty of watermelons while living on the ice-cold continent.

A study of tomato and tobacco plants suggests they emit ultrasonic popping sounds when dehydrated or physically damaged.

Cows fed hemp, which is not yet an approved animal feed, behaved strangely and produced milk with THC.

Scientists sequenced the DNA of an ancient watermelon and discovered that it contains the oldest plant genome in the world.

Their genes say they interbred with hunter-gatherer societies already in northern Europe.
