OK, how good are our global supply chains, really? Let’s see the receipts.

2 years 6 months ago
Based on some skeptical feedback to my post about how our global supply chains actually worked pretty well through the pandemic, I began wondering if the real issue here revolves around our definitions of "global supply chain" and "failed."

Crop Scientists Explore Using Predator Insects To Eat Pests In High Tunnels

2 years 6 months ago
URBANA – Crouched between rows of tomatoes and peppers tucked inside a high tunnel, researchers pluck insects off plants in the name of science. Because to catch a pest, you may have to release a predator. The flourishing local foods movement is driving more Illinois farmers to grow fruits and vegetables, using high tunnels to extend the growing season. All that fresh produce in an enclosed space makes insect outbreaks common. To help growers protect their investment, University of Illinois Extension is researching how to use predator insects to control pests. Bronwyn Aly , an Extension local food systems and small farms educator in Southern Illinois, knew local farmers needed a safe, efficient, and cost-effective way to deal with pests in high tunnels. This need prompted her to reach out to University of Illinois researcher Kacie Athey , assistant professor in the Department of Crop Sciences , for a solution. The question is, can other insects – their natural predators
