芦聽脌 la fruiterie du coin, je saute syst茅matiquement sur l鈥檃il du Qu茅bec聽禄, avoue Jean-Benoit Charron, chercheur 脿 l鈥橴niversit茅 69热视频. Avec la demande grandissante pour les produits du terroir, l鈥檃il qu茅b茅cois est tr猫s pris茅 des consommateurs. Il se d茅marque par son go没t, sa dur茅e de conservation et sa faible teneur en pesticides. Pourtant, sa production demeure marginale. La raison聽: le manque de puret茅 des semences.

Nature supports people in critical ways, often at a highly local level. A wild bee buzzes through a farm, pollinating vegetables as it goes. Nearby, wetlands remove chemicals from the farm鈥檚 runoff, protecting a community drinking water source. In communities all around the world, nature鈥檚 contributions are constantly flowing to people.

芦聽Je suis un gars de l鈥橝bitibi, donc je suis habitu茅 au froid!聽禄 s鈥檈xclame Jean-Benoit Charron, chercheur 脿 l鈥橴niversit茅 69热视频. En raison des changements climatiques, le froid n鈥檈st toutefois plus ce qu鈥檌l 茅tait. Les plantes cultiv茅es dans les champs doivent s鈥檃dapter 脿 ces nouvelles conditions.
芦聽Certains 茅pisodes de froid arrivent tr猫s t么t, et d鈥檃utres beaucoup plus tard qu鈥檃vant聽禄, explique le scientifique. De plus, les redoux en plein hiver r茅duisent la couverture de neige, privant ainsi la plante d鈥檜ne couche isolante.

Students talk about the course as OChem or Orgo, otherwise known as Organic Chemistry, one of the most dreaded courses for any student doing a university science degree. The course, taken mostly in the early stage of a student鈥檚 undergraduate degree, requires that material taught during the first week of class be understood and applied many weeks later when students do the final exam.聽聽
