Ultrasound News and Research

RSS

Ultrasound is a procedure in which high-energy sound waves are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echo patterns are shown on the screen of an ultrasound machine, forming a picture of body tissues called a sonogram. Also called ultrasonography.

Insects, Microbes, and Food Waste May Be the Answer to the Global Food Crisis

Insects, Microbes, and Food Waste May Be the Answer to the Global Food Crisis

This review examines how minimally processed foods, plant-based alternatives, functional foods, novel protein sources, and food waste valorization could help build healthier and more sustainable food systems. It highlights their potential to improve nutrition, reduce environmental pressures, and strengthen food security, while noting barriers around cost, regulation, safety, labelling, scalability, and consumer acceptance.
