A global diet shift would involve eating more fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains while limiting red meat and highly processed foods. Experts note that replacing some animal products with plant-based alternatives can reduce greenhouse…

European nations are exploring the use of advanced drone systems to secure their eastern borders against potential threats from Russia.

The drones would act as an early warning system, allowing authorities to respond quickly to any suspicious activity or incursions along the eastern frontier. The system would integrate radar, sensors, and autonomous aerial drones capable of long-range monitoring. Experts…
