🌱🌍 **Meet the Green Avengers: Advancing a Food Revolution** 🌍🌱 Check out the intro to my group, the 'Sustainable Agricultural Systems & Engineering' lab. We are on a mission to revolutionize our global food systems through the power of agroecology and cutting-edge technology. Our planet is at a crossroads. The expansion and intensification of agriculture are causing environmental challenges, from greenhouse gas emissions to biodiversity loss. The cost? A staggering 2 trillion USD, exceeding the value of global agricultural production. For sure: we urgently need a food systems transformation to feed our growing population sustainably. Enter the SASE Lab. Here, we're advancing this transformation, building a roadmap based on agroecology and diversification for sustainable agricultural production. This video introduces you to our team and our four pillars of work: 1. DATA INTEGRATION: Harnessing the power of data for global insights. 2. EXPERIMENTS: Conducting lab and field experiments to understand how diversification can mitigate pollution and ecosystem impacts. 3. AI MONITORING: Utilizing AI tools for ecosystem monitoring. 4. KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER: Sharing our findings with agricultural stakeholders, including governments, farmers, and schools, partly through our spin-off company, ecoNect. Join us on this exciting journey as we are advancing a food revolution. Together, we can create a sustainable future for all. 🌱🌍 #GreenAvengers #FoodRevolution #SASElab #agroecology #transformation SOE Westlake University Westlake University

The definition of Regenerative Agriculture is a hotly debated issue and we're right in the thick of it. (More on that later.) One thing we agree with is the importance of the soil microbiome—keeping it undisturbed and healthy as much as possible! Here's some of the latest research on that topic: https://buff.ly/3uqnuqp #CRARS #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming #research #soilhealth #healthysoil #soilmicrobiome
