Climate change and rising populations are pushing our food systems to the brink - could genetic engineering hold the key? Discover how biotechnology is creating stronger, healthier, and more sustainable crops, revolutionizing agriculture, and shaping the future of food.
We've been hearing a lot about declining bee populations. As scientists, we're concerned about our pollinator friends. So we interviewed 8 entomologists, bee-keepers, and other pollinator experts to cut through the buzz about bees.
As we went around the table introducing ourselves we noted a major theme arising in our motivation to join the bookclub. We all joined to learn more about the entire food system, and how our college major or thesis work or personal background fits in. We are all students at UC Davis. Some of us are in graduate school, a couple of us are undergraduate students. We are studying things like global disease, animal science, cell biology, biochemistry, plant biology and plant breeding (with a minor in Spanish!). All subjects pertinent to the conversation of food on some level.
