URBANA, Ill. – Producers of infant formula employ comprehensive food safety systems, including product testing to ensure those systems are working.
I wrote a couple of weeks ago about hosting a group of U.S. and German farmers this summer.
As part of the three-day program, we took the visitors to tour various local farms and businesses. During our travels we came across several ACES graduates working on all kinds of amazing projects:
The College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) has something for everyone — and they don’t just mean the wealth of offerings in their tent at the 2023 Farm Progress Show.
URBANA, Ill. – Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the world and access to health care is limited for many people. Childhood vaccinations are a crucial component of preventative care, but vaccination rates remain below the World Health Organization’s goal of reaching 95% of children.
Earth’s soil contains large stocks of carbon — even more carbon than in the atmosphere. A significant portion of this soil carbon is in organic form (carbon bound to carbon), called soil organic carbon (SOC). However, SOC has historically been greatly diminished by agricultural activity, releasing that carbon into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change.
URBANA, Ill. — Bianca Bailey, founder and CEO of Agriwater Corp., received the 2023 U.S. Bank Foundation Cleantech Inclusion Award.
This summer the Office of International Programs hosted 16 farmers and ag professionals from two areas of the world - Germany and the U.S. Midwest – for three days of meetings and tours. The group, funded by the Aspen Institute Germany had been meeting “virtually” for several months, and the in-person meeting served to build relationships as the group worked on policy recommendations for transatlantic exchange.
Embedded counselors are clinical counselors from the campus Counseling Center.
URBANA, Ill. — Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an approach that connects academic researchers with community partners to inform project development. Where traditional research is often done “to” people, treating them as subjects with no agency, CBPR is a cooperative process incorporating the knowledge and direction of community members.
