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

End Of Grain Rust

Ingenious - Ingénieux

The fight with blight. Each of us could only hope to enjoy the definitive professional success of Margaret Newton. In 1925, Canada’s minister of agriculture appointed her to manage the newly opened Dominion Rust Research Laboratory at the University of Manitoba and gave her the task of defeating grain rust. At the time, this pathogenic fungus was a plague of the nation’s harvest, destroying some thirty million bushels of wheat each year. When she retired some twenty years later, that figure was

Duck Decoy

Ingenious - Ingénieux

The hunter’s secret weapon. The hunter’s most formidable weapon is deception. The Cree and Ojibway peoples of Canada’s Great Lakes relied on it for thousands of years. They used reeds, cattails, bulrushes, tamarack, and other plants to make remarkably lifelike floating and stationary decoys that lured game birds and waterfowl to roosting areas. Once there, they were within reach of the nets, snares, arrows, and spears of the Aboriginal hunters. European settlers and then generations of

The best way to call a moose. Why change something that’s worked perfectly for thousands of years? Today’s moose hunters have no reason to adapt the megaphones used by their Ojibway and Attiamek predecessors. Made out of birchbark, bound with spruce roots, and secured with leather straps, these devices amplify and direct the sound of the moose call, attracting the creatures to the hunters. While today’s versions may be made out of different materials - plastic and whatnot - the enduring
