The Future of Fibers May Be Local
…must compete with synthetic, low-cost competitors. However, as interest in locally produced goods grows, small flock fiber farms may have an opportunity to thrive by influencing development of specialized textile…
Sounds of Soil
Root-feeding insects reduce belowground plant productivity and disrupt soil carbon cycling, ultimately eroding plant and soil health. Current methods for monitoring these insects are time-consuming, cost-prohibitive and often unreliable. Researchers…

Remediating Groundwater Through Biomineral Precipitation Using Designer Bacterial Communities Advisor: Jingjie Yeo Groundwater contamination is a critical environmental issue. Permeable Reactive Bio Barriers (PRBBs) present a sustainable and cost-effective solution…
No Fish Tale: Feed of the Future
…byproducts for use at nearby fish farms. The new feed system could eventually replace fishmeal, reducing the aquaculture industry’s feed cost–and carbon footprint. Investigators: Eugene Won, Helene Marquis, Joe Regenstein…
Hydropower and Ecosystem Services
…for individual dams—but what is the combined cost of the hydropower explosion for biodiversity, fisheries, navigation, and other benefits provided by intact rivers? This multidisciplinary team will develop a framework…
Coffee: What’s Fair?
How much does sustainable coffee cost to grow? Fair-trade certification gives consumers peace of mind that the supply chain meets a standard of fairness for workers and farmers—but small coffee…
