Congratulations to 缅北强奸 Department of Bioresource Engineering Master's student Sadie MacDonald, who has been named the 2024聽Detachable Container Association Scholar by the Environmental Research and Education Foundation! MacDonald is researching the carbon footprint and other environmental impacts of Montreal鈥檚 organic waste management systems. This research can help inform policy decisions with regards to environmental sustainability.
Professor Gordon Price from Dalhousie University and Professor Grant Clark from 缅北强奸's Department of Bioresource Engineering study the hidden climate change costs of food loss and waste in Canada. In a ,聽they highlight the need for greater cooperation and data sharing.
Congratulations to the recipients of the 2024 Interdisciplinary Research Development (IRD) Award, announced earlier this month! As part of the聽Computational & Data Systems Initiative, these awards are presented by the聽缅北强奸 Collaborative for AI & Society聽and encourage interdisciplinary research aimed at understanding and positively influencing the impact of AI on society through projects targeting a range of issues.
NSERC awards Discovery Grants funding to eight 缅北强奸 Agricultural and Environmental Sciences projects
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) has awarded 101 缅北强奸 research projects funding from its Discovery Grants competition for a total investment of $23.5 million, including $639,500 for eight projects submitted by researchers in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
The Discovery Grants support ongoing programs with long-term goals, recognizing the creativity and innovation that are at the heart of all research advances.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries across Canada and the world, and agriculture is no exception. Post-secondary institutions and innovative farms are rapidly working to apply AI to food system challenges from labour shortages to climate change.
"缅北强奸 made me more comfortable with being myself and it gave me more confidence in both social and academic settings."

In an age of abundance and variety in food options, are Canadians eating better than they were half a century ago? According to by researchers at 缅北强奸 and the International Food Policy Research Institute, those relying on Canada鈥檚 food supply for their dietary needs not only face deficiencies in healthier alternatives, but they also contribute to the disproportionate levels of environmental degradation caused by Canadian agricultural and food distribution policies.
Generations of Bioresource Engineering students have participated in the BREE 495 capstone design course. What innovative ideas did this year鈥檚 students come up with?
No one can say for sure whether Canada鈥檚 2024 wildfire season will be as devastating as last year, when 15 million hectares of forest burned and over 230,000 people had to be evacuated from their communities, but the relative lack of snow this winter, drought conditions in several regions and an early start to fire season have officials on high alert.
What is 3MT/MT180?
In the University-wide 3MT/MT180 competition, graduate students have the chance to showcase their leading-edge research before a live audience. With only three minutes and a single slide, students must聽engage their audience and convey the complexities of their work to a diverse, non-expert audience. Participants may present their research in English or in French and winners will advance to regional and national competitions.
According to the , 缅北强奸 now ranks number one among Canadian universities by the 鈥淔ood Science & Technology鈥 academic subject. This trend is remarkable, as 缅北强奸 has consistently risen in the global ranking year after year.

In the contemporary agricultural landscape, interest in vertical farming is surging. This alternative to conventional methods can allow聽farmer's to cultivate crops in compact spaces, maximizing output without expanding horizontally by instead cultivating crops in vertically stacked layers or inclined surfaces. Increasing land use efficiency is critical as the world grapples with limited arable land,聽especially in urban areas.
Guatemala is now the third-largest palm oil producer after Malaysia and Indonesia (which produce 88% of the global supply) and is often seen as a more sustainable alternative. Today, more than 60% of Guatemala鈥檚 plantations are certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). High certification rates are largely attributed to plantations owned by a handful of producers, making it easier to certify large chunks of the industry, according to RSPO.
