Incredible #dissertationdefense by @FeelingFisky !! Taíno pre-colonization culture informing #NREM strategies to improve food insecurity and environmental issues in Puerto Rico is another example of how #indigenous knowledge is helping modern resource conservation. #NREMseminar

#nitrogen “is a wicked problem, because it’s so hard to solve.” Dr. Tai Maaz highlights in her new research the unintended consequences of agricultural nitrogen mining and depletion #globally #NREMseminar there must be reduction in nitrogen inputs to reduce their emissions.
