Today, we are highlighting a resource titled, “An Introduction to Incorporating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion into Nutrition Incentive Program Research and Evaluation”, prepared by MSU Center for Regional Food Systems. This paper delves into the transformative role a DEI lens plays in GusNIP program research and evaluation, sparking organizational growth and project enhancement. 📑 Read the Paper: https://lnkd.in/d4e8vRPg This work is supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. #NIFAimpacts

Hi all, We have an upcoming webinar on 10th July with the University of Reading. This will be an interesting opportunity to see how #GCxGC can help with food, flavour and fragrance testing workflows. Click on the link below to register and we hope to see you all there. #Food #TD

Register for this new webinar where Dr Luke Bell will present recent examples of the fascinating research being carried out at the University of Reading. Plus, learn how GC-O is being used to extend the workflow to include sensory evaluation, uncovering aroma-active compounds that might otherwise be missed!

Are you involved in R&D/Innovation activities within your organization? If so, today is the day that you get to tell the government what you need to suceed!   Research Scientists from the Science and Technology Branch at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) are undertaking a project to understand the barriers and drivers for the industrial adoption of novel food processing technology within the Canadian Food Processing industry. Your insights will play a crucial role in identifying key trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the adoption of these technologies across different sectors within the Canadian food industry.   Note: Survey is limited to 200 participants based on the first come, first served basis. Expected time to complete the survey: Max 10 minutes. https://lnkd.in/gUU8d8dR

Plants fight back! Plants are far more devious that we tend to give them credit for. Their defences against herbivores go way beyond thorns and spines, including a veritable witches’ brew of chemical defences, and even recruiting beneficial insects to serve as bodyguards. Amazingly, plants can even turn these defences on or off according to their needs so as to avoid wasteful investment in structures or metabolites. We humans are still learning much about these tricks that the plant kingdom has evolved over millennia and it goes way beyond curiosity-driven science. In the agricultural domain, we call the herbivores ‘pests’ so exploiting natural phenomena to suppress crop pests (rather than spraying them with insecticides!) is an attractive nature-based solution. In my latest paper, a collaboration with scientists at Cardiff University in the UK, we critically review the complexities of how natural plant defences interact with beneficial insects. https://lnkd.in/g6Jn4Ks7

I'm excited to share results of a research study I conducted with Alexa Lamm, Joy Rumble, Jason Ellis, and Abraham Tidwell exploring public perceptions of critical agricultural and food system issues! Understanding the complexities of public decision-making is key to shaping effective communication strategies. Explore our blog to learn how we can bridge the gap between science and public understanding. #Agriculture #FoodSystem #PublicPerceptions #CommunicationStrategy #scicomm https://lnkd.in/dYmnG6WX
