Precision.ai has been able to continue growing while keeping staff, partners and customers safe. An intern would be an important member of our growing agronomy AI team. Precision.ai now needs more agronomy expertise to achieve our growth objectives. The intern will help us accelerate our artificial intelligence model development by applying their expertise to more […]

Many ethnic minorities in the southern mountainous region of Yunnan Province, China are being increasingly marginalized by ill-informed policies implemented by lowland-based, ethnic-majority officials, aiming to intensify socio-economic integration, promote agricultural intensification, and promote cash cropping, and restrict natural resource access. In the Yunnan borderlands and the site for my intended study, many sizeable extractive […]

While urban agriculture (UA) can potentially increase food security for city dwellers and beautify marginal urban spaces, it might also yield negative consequences for communities. For instance, in developing Asia, the contamination of urban-grown foods is concerning as pollution from some of the world’s largest emerging economies is difficult to regulate. Additionally, research has shown […]

Le projet de recherche fait état de la dernière phase d’occupation sur le site archéologique d’Argilos en Grèce du Nord, que l’on situe vers la fin de l’époque classique. Durant cette période, Argilos perd son statut de cité et se mute en un établissement rural sous le joug de l’empire macédonien. La mise au jour […]

Plants including Cannabis host distinct beneficial microbial communities on and inside their tissues designated the plant microbiota from the moment that they are planted into the soil as seed. Understanding the microbial partnerships with Cannabis has the potential to affect agricultural practices by improving plant fitness and production yield of Cannabinoids. Much less is known […]

This project aims to evaluate ground-dwelling arthropods which are present in restored semi-natural grasslands, preserved grassland environments, and prairie agricultural fields that contain prairie potholes. Insects and other arthropods collected with pitfall traps in these areas will be identified, pinned, and stored in an extensive collection. Specimens collected from the agricultural fields containing prairie potholes […]

Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is an invasive plant in North America that produces glucosinolates and flavonoids as defensive chemicals. Production of these chemicals includes both plastic and genetic components, but the genes involved in these responses have not been characterized. We propose to use high-throughput sequencing and comparative genomic tools to characterize the complete set […]

Domesticated over 12,000 years ago, cows are currently found in every country across the globe yet very little is known about their varied histories, geographies, and lives. This despite cows’ centrality to human pursuits of agriculture, colonization, and capitalism as well as their implication in climate change. Furthermore,even as social research on cows begins to […]

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is an important economical crop cultivated in tropical countries. Cocoa black pod disease, caused by Phytophthora megakarya, an oomycete, is the most economically important threat of cacao in Cameroon. Upon infection, oomycetes pathogens develop various strategies to gain access to the nutrients and eventually causing the death of the tissue, including the […]

Les modalités dont les sociétés parviennent à gérer les ressources naturelles varient d’un pays à l’autre et entre les territoires qui les conforment. Ce projet porte sur une analyse comparative des arrangements institutionnels mis en œuvre par deux fédérations, comme l’Argentine et le Canada, a fin d’administrer leurs ressources en eau. À partir de l’étude […]

This research project sets out to conduct a comprehensive literature review on Indigenous agriculture in Canada. We collect information about different sources of data that could be put in use to provide insight into Indigenous engagement in the Agriculture/Agri-food sector across the country. We will review the current Statistics Canada’s databases to explore data overlaying […]

The biologically-fixed N is more efficiently converted into protein than mineral N from fertilizers. As low protein content is currently a topic of great concern in many soybean-growing areas, improvement of BNF efficiency may reach higher protein levels with lower environmental impacts. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have shown excellent results in the association of single-nucleotide […]
