Cornell hosted the second New York Soil Health Summit Dec. 13, bringing together those who aim to assist growers in mitigating and adapting to climate change while protecting farmer livelihoods and rural economies.
Cutting-edge, data-driven agricultural technologies and precision management strategies designed for the farm of the future will be developed, evaluated and demonstrated, thanks to a four-year, $4.3 million U.S. Department of Agriculture grant.
Indigenous students in STEM are creating community and working to increase representation and visibility – all while bringing valuable cultural insights and a community-focus to their academic work.
A new research project lead by Aquaculture Specialist Gregg Rivara of Cornell Cooperative Extension Suffolk County is looking at ways to preserve extra shellfish larvae using cryoprotectants.
Starting this fall, students across Cornell can choose a new minor in sustainable agricultural and food systems that is designed to help them understand the broad role of ag and food systems in feeding humans and impacting the natural environment.
