Since 2018, one Alberta-based company has been working with craft breweries in Calgary to prevent spent grain from ending up in landfills or being under utilized at composting facilities. Instead, aGRO Systems which was founded by Victoria Ross takes that grain and provides it to local ranchers as a protein rich feed additive for livestock….
Abstract Newswise — Ecological theory always treats culture as a response to the demands of the environment. Farming, in the history of the world, has significantly influenced the formation of human culture. This paper examines the relationship between managers’ rice culture and corporate tax avoidance. The main finding shows managers from collectivist rice planting areas…
The University of Guelph is leading the creation of a network meant to spur investment in Canadian agri-food innovation, including developing new technologies to address pressing issues like climate change. The university received an almost $16.3 million government grant over five years to support the platform, called Sustainable Food Systems for Canada, or SF4C. The…
Newswise — Tomatoes, a staple crop worldwide, face significant challenges from pests such as aphids and mites, which wreak havoc on yields and quality. Overreliance on chemical pesticides has exacerbated the problem, with pests evolving resistance and the environmental toll of pesticides raising alarm bells. To meet these challenges, scientists are turning to wild tomato…
Newswise — Butterhead lettuce, prized for its soft leaves and unique, tightly packed structure, is a staple leafy vegetable, especially in Europe. Its compact architecture makes it ideal for mechanized harvesting and efficient storage. However, the genetic factors underpinning this advantageous trait have long eluded researchers. Understanding these factors is crucial for addressing agricultural challenges…

Newswise — The 21st century has brought unprecedented agricultural hurdles. The demand for food has surged as resources like arable land and water dwindle. Compounded by the impacts of climate change, abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures are decimating crop productivity. Oilseed rape, a vital source of edible oil and biofuels, is…
Newswise — Rapeseed is a key source of phytosterols, plant-derived compounds linked to a range of health benefits, including lowering cholesterol and reducing inflammation. Despite their importance, the genetic mechanisms behind phytosterol production in rapeseed remain poorly understood, hindering efforts to maximize the crop’s nutritional potential. Unraveling the genetic control of sterol biosynthesis is critical…
