In our Global Agritech 101 course, Om Routray and I play this 2 x 2 game. We ask the participants a simple question - In which part of the quadrant do you find yourself most attracted? Can you articulate why? This 2x2 provides a fascinating window to look into what drives our decisions and perceptions about our subconscious visions of agriculture. It also quietly maps each individual's political preferences when it comes to taking stances about agriculture. Do you want to join us to play this game and figure out your political orientation? Join us on next Saturday as we commence the second cohort of Global Agritech 101. Two more days to go. Link to the course and detailed course plan in the first comment.

Dive into the fascinating field of Agriscience this Fall! This comprehensive course covers the scientific study of agriculture and its profound impact both locally and globally.

🌿 Engaging in meaningful conversations with plants while conducting observations in plant breeding research - a fascinating journey of understanding and discovery! 🌱 Every observation holds valuable insights into the intricate world of plant genetics, guiding our efforts towards developing resilient and high-yielding varieties. 🔬 Through meticulous observation, we uncover hidden traits and characteristics that shape the future of agriculture, paving the way for innovative breeding strategies. 📊 Each moment spent in the field, carefully documenting growth patterns and behaviors, contributes to the advancement of agricultural science and sustainable food production. 🌾 As we immerse ourselves in this dialogue with nature, we honor the profound connection between humans and plants, working hand in hand to nurture growth and progress. 🌟 Here's to the silent conversations and tireless observations that drive progress in plant breeding research! #PlantBreeding #Observations #AgriculturalResearch 🌱🔍

🌟 Thrilled to Share! 🌟 My research paper titled "Electrostatic Particle Ionization for Suppressing Air Pollutants in Cage-Free Layer Facilities" has been accepted by Poultry Science Journal! This work aims to enhance air quality in poultry farming, contributing to a healthier environment for workers and birds. I am excited to see this research make an impact! I want to especially thank my advisor Dr. Lilong Chai for his continuous help and support in publishing lots of papers from my side. In addition, I am sorry for pushing you every time to publish our papers 😁. #poultryscience #environmentalhealth #researchpublication 🐔💨🔬

A big congratulations to John Aloysius Zinda for being elected Associate Professor in the Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Global Development with indefinite tenure, effective July 1! 🎉 Learn more about his research: https://lnkd.in/eXxd3nrU

Utah State University PhD Candidate Tejinder Singh, talks about how scientists (in cooperation with his PhD advisor Dr. Matt Yost, Associate Professor of Agriculture, USU) are developing a website to assist farmers in calculating how much amendments they need to add to their soil. The SATURO Inflitrometer helps them to figure out one of the variables needed for their calculations. Learn more about the SATURO: https://lnkd.in/gjrib9Ne

Did you know that Georgia is responsible for about half of the United States’ peanut production? Did you also know that beyond them being a great snack and #1 recipe in peanut butter (129 years in a row!), they are also a valuable crop for regenerative agriculture? Listen to FFAR Fellows Program: Future Leaders for Food & Agriculture UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences PhD student, discuss his research in unlocking the vast genetic potential of the peanut. His winning 'Lightning Talk' is available to watch in the link provided in the comments!
