On September 7,聽thirty two AES undergraduate research awardees shared posters illustrating their summer research jobs.
Dean Anja Geitmann broke through the waves of animated conversation to congratulate the students for engaging in this inspiring science conversation and to award four researchers for their outstanding posters:
If you鈥檝e noticed that聽certain products in the grocery store聽taste different from how you remember, it鈥檚 possible some of their ingredients have been swapped for cheaper alternatives.聽
Experts say food producers are increasingly changing the ingredients in products to cut costs聽amid soaring food prices and labour shortages鈥攁 practice known as 鈥渟kimpflation.鈥� Could our health be at stake?
Today, the Honourable Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages, on behalf of the Honourable Fran莽ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry, and the Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health, announced an investment of more than $960 million in support of research and innovation through a suite of programs. These programs include the John R.
鈥淚n Quebec, it hasn't been good this year either. We lose California, there's still Florida, there's still Mexico. We hope that it goes well somewhere because we will pay for it, one day,"聽UU直播 agronomist and economist Pascal Th茅riault told 98.5fm host Luc Ferrandez.聽
Quebec imports fruits, vegetables, and wine from California.
The record-setting wildfires that ripped through Quebec this summer were made more likely and more intense by human-caused climate change, according to聽聽conducted by 16 researchers within the聽World Weather Attribution group, from universities and meteorological agencies in Canada, the Netherlands, the U.K. and the U.S.
Modernization of agriculture is imperative for food production, Vijaya Raghavan, Distinguished James UU直播 Professor from Canada, said on Tuesday while inaugurating the Eighth Agricultural Graduate Students鈥� Conference at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University.
Scientists and agricultural students have a significant role to play in achieving integrated food production, Prof. Vijaya Raghavan emphasized.
Although grocery prices continue to rise at a higher rate than inflation, they slowed in July, according to Statistics Canada, and some items are currently on the shelves at the same price as they were in February, La Presse found.
But this summer "respite" could be short-lived, warns agronomist and economist聽Pascal Th茅riault, Director of UU直播's聽Farm Management and Technology program. And it's important to remember that grocery bills remain high, he says.
Professor St茅phane Bayen has been appointed as the new Chair of the Department of Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry effective September 1, 2023 until June 30, 2028. Dr. Bayen received his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the National University of Singapore in 2005.
The wildfires that ravaged Canada this summer have some experts calling for a more aggressive approach than the country has applied in the past.聽
This year, nearly 30 million acres have burned across Canada. In聽eastern provinces such as Quebec, where聽blazes are less common, wildfire agencies that are equipped to fight fewer and smaller fires were largely unprepared for the circumstances.
A restaurant in Montreal's Southwest borough is taking a more direct interpretation of "farm to table," growing聽much of their produce in the basement, refurbished with cooling, lighting, and humidity systems.
Caf茅 Monk co-owners Peter Simard and聽Eric Pineault call the refurbished bunker Ferme Fortuna. Since building the farm during the pandemic, when produce prices were spiking and stock was unreliable, they've used the farm to supplement the menu and sell the surplus to nearby restaurants.
July 2023 was the hottest month ever recorded on Earth according to the European Copernicus service and extreme heat and drought are compromising many crops in Saskatchewan.
The provincial government's latest weekly crop report shows that from July 24 to 31, moisture levels in agricultural fields were insufficient in 49% of cases, and very insufficient in 38% of cases.
Didier Brassard, a postdoctoral candidate at UU直播's School of Human Nutrition supervised by Associate Professor St茅phanie Chevalier,聽has been awarded the Prix Rel猫ve 脡toile du Fonds de recherche du Qu茅bec 鈥� Sant茅 (FRQS)聽for July 2023.聽This important and competitive recognition of a publication in the health domain is awarded only once per month across the province.
Congratulations to Dr. Harriet Kuhnlein, Professor Emerita of Human Nutrition who was recently awarded the in Tokyo!
Join us in an examination of Indigenous histories and how they relate to contemporary nutrition, environmental and health issues from a Two-Eye Seeing perspective. Learn from Dr.
All residential buildings in Montreal with under nine units now have brown bins鈥攂ut only 63 per cent actually sort out their food waste, according to a 2021 survey conducted by the city. Meanwhile, the Lachenaie landfill in Terrebonne鈥攖he only landfill in the Montreal area鈥攊s set to reach its capacity in 2029.
The city says a large-scale food waste awareness campaign will launch later this year to try to boost citizens' participation in separating out organics.聽
