Paul McNamara, whose decades of work in developing and strengthening international extension systems has enhanced the lives of millions of smallholder farmers, has been selected as the new director for the ADM Institute for the Prevention of Postharvest Loss (ADMI), which is housed in the College of Agricultural Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) at the 

As greenhouse gases go, nitrous oxide (N2O) is a doozy. With a global warming potential 273 times that of carbon dioxide, mitigating N2O could make a big difference. But before mitigation can happen, it’s important to understand where the compound is coming from. 

A new book by a University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign expert in law and policy explores the history and development of the U.S.

As a college student, Rachel Wyffels made a serendipitous class choice that sparked a passion and shaped her career path.

When scientists look at the Earth’s available water for ecosystem services, they don’t just look at precipitation. They must also account for water moving from the ground to the atmosphere, a process known as evapotranspiration (ET). ET includes evaporation from soil and open water pools such as lakes, rivers, and ponds, as well as transpiration from plant leaves.

In recent years, the scientific community has increasingly turned its attention to sustainable agriculture, aiming to maximize crop yield while minimizing environmental impact. A crucial aspect of this research involves understanding the fundamental processes of plant photosynthesis and how they can be monitored at scale. One promising method for assessing photosynthetic activity is through the measurement of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence, a byproduct of photosynthesis that can be detected from ground-based sensors as well as from satellites in space.

At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, safe workplaces have always been a priority.
