A study said increasing vegetable output alone may not guarantee healthy diets and that the range of vegetables and varietal diversity must also be protected. Researchers warned that declines in seeds, varieties and wild relatives narrow options for nutrient-rich and climate-resilient vegetables. They identified at least 1,482 vegetable species and found production and consumption concentrated in a few crops. Reviews showed genetic diversity declines in 80 percent of studies, while about 24 percent of assessed wild relatives were threatened with extinction.

Five former Ethereum Foundation researchers have set up a nonprofit research and development organisation, Ethlabs, to conduct Ethereum research aimed at shifting institutional investors onchain. CoinPost reported that BitMine and SharpLink are major backers. Ethlabs said its initial work will focus on conditions needed for large-scale institutional flows onchain, including faster settlement, native issuance, cross-chain transfers, mainnet throughput and Ethereum’s monetary characteristics.
