A study led by the UB reveals the nutritional properties of the oil from the Medes Islands wild olive trees
The study represents a first approach to the characterization of wild ivory-white olive trees in Catalonia. The research team states that the organoleptic properties of olive oil from olive trees are similar to those varieties from cultivated olive trees. The fruit from the olive is featured for its low oil content but they have unique features as white fruits with a high content in phenolic elements.

Why urban planners should pay attention to restaurant-review sites
MIT researchers have found that online restaurant data can be used to accurately predict key socioeconomic factors for neighborhoods in China, reports the Xinhua news agency. The researchers found that "in nine Chinese cities, the presence of restaurants could effectively predict a neighborhood's daytime and nighttime population, the number of businesses and overall spending."

Grassland Researchers Meet in Zurich
Switzerland is a grassland. The climate and soil provide ideal conditions for grass production, and thus for sustainable milk and meat production, whilst natural conditions are often unfavourable for arable farming. However, grass production too is facing new challenges. Despite extreme weather such as drought, the agricultural sector aims to produce top-quality forage, so that concentrate use can be reduced as much as possible.
