New research led by Fellow Charley Willison (Veterinary College) finds that Medicaid and health systems are playing growing roles in providing housing and other services to people experiencing homelessness. These investments could bolster – or eventually overtake – existing governance structures. https://lnkd.in/eGHeVkrc

In 2023, Environmental Defense Fund launched a demonstration seaweed and mussel farm in Cabalian Bay, the Philippines, in hopes of understanding whether seaweed production could improve ocean habitats and sequester greenhouse gases, while contributing to more sustainable sources of food, biofuel, cement, plastics or fertilizers. Researchers will collaborate with Philippine farmers to identify the most promising products manufactured from seaweeds in Cabalian Bay. Options include creating biofuels and fertilizers, applying seaweed to livestock manure lagoons to decrease methane emissions, or turning seaweed into plastics, cement composites, adobe, pavement, or roofing materials.

Fellows Antonio DiTommaso and Steve Grodsky (both Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) plan to top an experimental apple orchard with solar panels to capture the sun’s energy and protect the trees. Meanwhile, students under the guidance of Senior Fellow Max Zhang (Cornell Engineering) found that agrivoltaics in vineyards could benefit growers and solar developers. https://lnkd.in/gq_pZDrA

The mesopelagic zone (200–1000 meters deep in the ocean) contains a huge amount of the ocean’s biomass. The small fish that live in the mesopelagic zone play a vital role in the biological carbon pump that moves carbon to the seafloor for long-term sequestration. Mesopelagic fish are currently being considered as a new potential source of food for aquaculture, as farmed fish demand is growing and additional food sources are needed to feed carnivorous fish (such as salmon). This project will evaluate the trade-offs between potential disruption to carbon sequestration and human nutrition in commercial exploitation of mesopelagic fish.
