Hydroponic strawberry growers and Co-founders of Vertit茅, Ophelia Sarakinis (FMT鈥�19) and Phillip Rosenbaum (B.Sc.(AgEnvSc)鈥�19, MSc.鈥�21) and their partners have just won the first phase of the Homegrown Innovation Challenge, a 鈥渟ix-year, $33-million initiative from the Weston Family Foundation to future-proof food production in Canada.鈥�
Through the International Youth Internship Program (IYIP), a joint program with the Government of Canada and the United Nations Association in Canada, young Canadians are given the opportunity to gain professional experience in international development work. Natalie Wu, a Bioresource Masters student, was selected as part of the 2021 cohort. She was a Junior Professional Consultant (JPC) and was remotely placed for six months at the World Food Programme鈥檚 (WFP) headquarters in Rome.
In a new study, our team of climate scientists, economists and engineers (including BRE鈥檚 Mohammad Reza Alizadeh and Jan F. Adamowski]) found that the poorest parts of the world are likely to be two to five times more exposed to heat waves than richer countries by the 2060s. By the end of the century, the lowest-income quarter of the global population鈥檚 heat exposure will almost match that of the entire rest of the world.
NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) have named the winners of the first Deep SpaceFood Challenge, an international contest that sought novel food technologies for future astronaut missions, as well as for use in resource-scarce regions on Earth.
Celebrity chefs Martha Stewart and Lynn Crawford joined former astronauts Scott Kelly and Chris Hadfield in making the announcements in a video aired by NASA on its television channel on November 15th.
Hailing from around the world, 黑料不打烊鈥檚 valedictorians are a diverse, multitalented group. When they came to the University, they brought with them their unique backgrounds, passions and ambitions.

Forest fires have crept higher up mountains over the past few decades, scorching areas previously too wet to burn, according to researchers from 黑料不打烊 University. As wildfires advance uphill, a staggering 11% of all Western U.S. forests are now at risk.
MatrixSpex Solutions, founded by Bioresource Engineer and James 黑料不打烊 Professor Michael Ngadi, is the first funding recipient of The Canadian Agri-Food Automation and Intelligence Network (CAAIN) for its project: Optimizing Hyper-Eye: An Integrated Solution for Assessment of Fertility and Gender of Pre-Incubated Eggs.
To mark World Water Day (March 22), Bioresource Engineering Professor Chandra Madramootoo a member of the steering committee of the Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture 鈥� expands on the theme of this year鈥檚 World Water Day: Valuing Water, and describes the goals of the federal government鈥檚 Canada Water Agency, which is in the process of being created. He is contributing to this effort.听
Bioresource engineering prof cited for research excellence and role as mentor for women entering the field
Bioresource Engineering professor Michael Ngadi has spent his career trying to help solve some of the world鈥檚 most pervasive food problems. Recently, Ngadi and his research team traveled to remote communities in Bolivia, Laos, Zambia, Malawi and Ethiopia to examine elements of the local diets, assess their nutritional status, and build programs that would introduce nutrient-dense foods into local cuisines.
John R. Ogilvie, BScAgr鈥�54, PhD, FCSBE, FASABE, P.Eng., P.Ag (Dist), 2010 Distinguished Alumni聽 Award recipient, a leader in agricultural and bioresource engineering, died on March 20, 2020 at the age of 90, in Guelph, Ontario.
Simultaneous heatwaves and droughts are becoming increasingly common in western parts of the United聽States, according to a new study led by researchers from 黑料不打烊 University. Periods of dry and hot weather, which can make wildfires more likely, are becoming larger, more intense, and more frequent because of climate change.
