It is the largest #food database in the world!
It can be used for anything from checking #Nutritional scores to #environmental impact of the food packaging.
Unfortunately, there are not many #Indian food products in the database.
You can help expand it.

#SavingCarbonSinks: Ecuadorian social #movements have bypassed pro-extractivist #politicians with a national #referendum to keep #oil from Block 43 also known as “Yasuní ITT,” a concession in the deepest part of the Amazonian protected Yasuní National #Forest, in the ground. While movements around the world have successfully achieved #mining moratoria, this is an important new strategy for #environmental and #Indigenous #rights activists.

Some plants can monitor #environmental #conditions around them and release #seeds at times #optimal for #dispersal.
#Dandelion seeds close up a bit in #wet #weather and don't travel as far as in their more open, #dry weather form. New #research (Seale et al. 2022) shows that dandelions hold on to seeds in wet weather and release them more in dry weather.
Do #plants exhibit #behavior? I would argue, yes.

Environmental morphing enables informed dispersal of the dandelion diaspore
The dandelion diaspore changes its shape depending on the moisture levels in the air, and this morphing enhances the dispersal potential of the seeds regardless of the weather conditions.Madeleine Seale (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd)
