Optimizing Soil Properties Through Hydrogel and Sawdust Combinations for Better Plant Growth

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 1, Page 168-178, February 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates the effects of various soil amendments on poplar cutting vitality under drought conditions, as observed using X‐ray computed tomography (CT). It compares soil alone, soil with sawdust, soil with hydrogel, and their combination, highlighting differences in internal structure, water retention, and root development.

Have the environmental benefits of insect farming been overstated? A critical review

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 163-194, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect farming is frequently promoted as a sustainable food solution, yet current evidence challenges many environmental benefits claimed by industry proponents. This review critically examines the scientific foundation for assessing the environmental impacts of insect farming in both human food and animal feed applications.

Reputation in International Trade: Evidence From the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

Review of International Economics, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 219-242, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A country's reputation may be an important determinant of its ability to export, but the effect is difficult to isolate from underlying product attributes. We consider the trade impact of the Fukushima nuclear disaster and ask whether damage to the Japanese reputation for food safety played a role in its impact. The disaster led to a large and
