As environmental awareness grows, the agricultural sector must balance rising product demands with sustainable development. This study investigates the relationship between agricultural trade and green technological innovation, emphasizing how trade-induced efficiency improvements promote input-saving practices. Using panel data from 31 Chinese provinces between 2011 and 2021, our analysis reveals that agricultural trade significantly enhances resource use efficiency, particularly in rural areas where agriculture is concentrated. The findings provide empirical evidence of the positive effects of trade on green innovation and highlight the need for targeted policy interventions to support sustainable agricultural practices. This research underscores agricultural trade's critical role in fostering green innovation and offers valuable insights for policymakers and agricultural businesses seeking to improve competitiveness and sustainability in an increasingly globalized economy.

Background: Occupation complexity during adulthood may contribute to cognitive reserve in later life. Research on occupational complexity and cognitive function has focused on high-income countries, where there is a large proportion of individuals with complex occupations. Thus, it is important to investigate this association in the context of low- and middle-income countries where there is greater variance in occupation complexity and where there is a higher proportion of lower-complexity occupations due to educational and other socioeconomic limitations.

Evaluation of 9,10-anthraquinone contamination in tea products from Indonesian manufacturers and its carcinogenic risk to consumer health.

Food Chem Toxicol

January 2025

European Union Reference Laboratory for Pesticide Residues in Fruit & Vegetables, University of Almeria, Agrifood Campus of International Excellence (ceiA3), Ctra. Sacramento S/N°, La Cañada de San Urbano, 04120, Almería, Spain.

This study aimed to determine 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ) levels in Indonesian tea products from different manufacturers and assess the AQ's associated health risks. AQ levels increased significantly during withering and drying stages, using pinewood as a heat source. Generally, black tea was highly contaminated by AQ followed by green tea, oolong tea, and white tea.

The Global Advance of Genome-Edited Plants to the Market: The Key Role of Chile in Its Development.

Plants (Basel)

December 2024

ChileBio CropLife, Antonio Bellet 77, Of 607, Providencia, Santiago 7500025, Chile.

The global advancement of genome-edited plants toward commercialization has been significantly shaped by the functionality and flexibility of some regulatory frameworks governing plant genome editing. These frameworks vary widely across countries, reflecting diverse approaches to assessing and managing the risks and benefits of genome-editing technologies. While some nations have adopted product-based frameworks that focus on the characteristics of the final plant rather than the technique used, others rely on more restrictive process-based regulations.
