Science To Solve World Hunger: Neutron Research With Plants

Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering

University of Saskatchewan scientists use neutron beams to observe plant roots in soil to aid breeding of drought-resistant crops. Story written by Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, in cooperation with the Global Institute for Food Security and the Plant Phenotyping and Imaging Research Centre. Two hundred years ago, the problem of the world’s population outpacing our ability to feed ourselves was identified. Thomas Malthus, in 1798, proposed that the world’s food supply would soon be insufficient

Ants perfected farming 30 million years ago in the desert

Ants perfected farming 30 million years ago in the desert

Turns out we humans aren't the only farmers on our planet! Ants are farmers too, growing crops of fungus in their nests in the soil. Entomologists at the National Museum of Natural History, part of the Smithsonian family of museums in the United States, just recently discovered that these amazing little ant societies have been growing domesticated varieties of fungus for 30 million years! You can learn more about the life beneath the soil at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museums Soil Lab!

Michèle Marcotte – new ways to dehydrate food

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

Michèle Marcotte, Ph.D., is a pioneer in food processing research. As a federal scientist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), she created a new method of fruit dehydration which can also be applied to vegetables, meat, or fish known as osmotic dehydration. The innovation uses a natural process to partially dehydrate and sweeten the fruit in order to make them more palatable. Collaboration with private industry in Quebec led to the design, development, installation, and start-up of a
