Simulated changes in surface air temperature, precipitation and downward direct and diffuse solar radiation are used to force a state-of-the-art crop model to estimate how the productivity of the major crops (maize, rice, spring wheat and soybean) would be affected globally, and changes in oceanic net primary […]

Butter boards — boards smeared with softened butter and topped with all manner of savory and sweet accoutrements […]

She’s been a fan since discovering it at her local health food store in 2012. Nutritional yeast (affectionately known as nooch) […]
