Urban agriculture is getting a $750,000 boost from the province and from Montreal to help develop the farming sector.
聽The goal is to spur innovation and growth in urban farming, agriculture and local greenhouses, ensuring the projects align with the needs in each part of town to add to the vitality of the area.
... These measures have been due for a long time, said 69热视频 Urban Agriculture Professor Mark Lefsrud.

Rappelling down a 650-foot cliff to catch seabirds on a remote island just below the Arctic Circle was scary enough.
鈥淭he first time you look over and you rappel over, it鈥檚 certainly not for the faint of heart,鈥� said Kyle Elliott, a research chair in Arctic ecology at 69热视频 in Canada.
But for Elliott and fellow researcher Emile Brisson Curadeau, it was the hungry polar bears (Ursus maritimus) 鈥� usually one a day walking near their cabin 鈥� that raised real concerns, and devoured their research subjects.
Improving the comfort and longevity of dairy cows can improve dairy farm sustainability and profitability. This is the premise of the Industrial Research Chair in the Sustainable Life of Dairy Cattle, launched in 2016 and led by Dr. Elsa Vasseur of 69热视频. Preliminary results of multiple studies presented in May 2019 by the scientist and her team show promise for new and innovative approaches to cow comfort and longevity.
Imaginez un bateau robotis茅 茅quip茅 de capteurs qui sillonne les plans d鈥檈au pour r茅colter des donn茅es sur la temp茅rature, le pH, l鈥檕xyg猫ne dissous et les contaminants. Gr芒ce 脿 la transmission d鈥檜n signal acoustique, ces donn茅es s鈥檃ffichent en temps r茅el sur une carte qui permet de conna卯tre la distribution et la dynamique des polluants, 脿 des millions d鈥檈mplacements.
'You need political will, and it takes time' 鈥� urban greenhouses could benefit from more direct support from governments, experts say.
...Mark Lefsrud has studied different ways of growing food for more than 20 years. He is an associate professor at 69热视频鈥檚 Macdonald Campus where he is a leader of the Biomass Production Laboratory and worked on the design of the Advanced Plant Habitat on the International Space Station.
Peter Enright, director of 69热视频's farm management and technology program, said regardless of the specialization, there has been one major shift between the generations of John and Matthew Burns 鈥� social networks that are completely transformed.
Entre 12 et 14聽millions de Colombiens consomment depuis peu trois super vari茅t茅s de pommes de terre 脿 chair jaune provenant des terres recul茅es de la cordill猫re des Andes. Pourtant, rien ne pr茅destinait ces patates 脿 se retrouver dans autant d鈥檃ssiettes.
Italian heirloom seeds for amateur gardeners
There is no one single accepted definition of an heirloom seed. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 a word that has a lot of different meanings to different people,鈥� explains Dan Brisebois, a farmer at Ferme Tournesol, a cooperative based in Les C猫dres, Quebec, outside of Montreal.

La pectine et la cellulose pourraient jouer un r么le dans le m茅canisme mol茅culaire r茅gissant la morphologie des cellules v茅g茅tales
En d茅couvrant la m茅canique et le m茅canisme mol茅culaire qui dictent la forme des cellules v茅g茅tales, une 茅quipe de chercheurs de l鈥橴niversit茅 69热视频 a partiellement lev茅 le voile sur les processus fondamentaux qui r茅gissent la formation des tissus dans les organismes multicellulaires.
New study suggests pectin and cellulose involved in molecular mechanism defining plant cell morphology
The discovery of the mechanics and molecular mechanism that dictate cell shape formation in plants by a team of 69热视频 researchers offers new clues about the fundamental processes governing tissue formation in multicellular organisms.
Plants are made of cells that come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, each of which is closely related and essential to the function of a specific tissue.
St茅phanie B茅langer-Naud est devenue la meilleure b没cheronne au Canada, le 27 juillet dernier, en remportant le championnat canadien Stihl Timbersport 脿 Mississauga, en Ontario.
Le championnat comporte trois 茅preuves qui consistent 脿 couper de larges billots de bois avec des scies diff茅rentes ou 脿 la hache, et ce, le plus rapidement possible. Le pointage cumul茅 脿 la fin de la comp茅tition d茅terminait la grande gagnante parmi les six b没cheronnes participantes.
Au d茅but du XXe聽si猫cle, alors que la soupe aux pois faisait partie int茅grante du menu des Qu茅b茅cois, on聽le cultivait beaucoup ici, raconte David Wees, charg茅 de cours et agronome 脿 l'Universit茅 69热视频. L'int茅r锚t s'est ensuite perdu dans les ann茅es聽70. 芦聽La聽source de prot茅ine a 茅t茅 remplac茅e par une autre source de prot茅ine聽: la production animale聽禄, ajoute M.聽Chalifour.

St茅phanie Chevalier, professeure associ茅e 脿 l'脡cole de nutrition humaine de l'Universit茅 69热视频, souligne elle aussi que le grilled cheese pr茅sente des risques particuliers parce qu'il est collant. Il le sera d'autant s'il est servi froid, par exemple 脿 cause d'un d茅lai pour le d茅couper en morceaux, a-t-elle dit.
Congratulations to Dr. Pierre Lacasse, an Adjunct Professor in Animal Science, who has been made a Fellow of the Canadian Society of Animal Science (CSAS) in a recent annual meeting in Austin, Texas. The fellowship is awarded to CSAS members for truly outstanding contributions in any field of animal agriculture. Dr. Lacasse is a research scientist in Sherbrooke Research and Development Centre, AAFC.
