"Sustainable Agriculture in the U.S. vs. the EU: A Comparative Look at Different Approaches to Similar Objectives" with Dr. Scott Hutchins

Government officials in both the United States and the European Union agree that sustainable agriculture is an important and necessary topic today. However, there are many and differing opinions on how to secure sustainability. Today, Dr. Hutchins will discuss two approaches proposed by these different regions, the U.S. Agriculture Innovation Agenda and the Farm to Fork Strategy in Europe, including their goals, their strategies to reach them, and how they can work together to help build a more sustainable world.

Tune in to learn:

• Research clusters and focus areas for the U.S. Agriculture Innovation Agenda
• Differences between the two regional approaches for sustainability
• How the USDA Science Blueprint partners and supports the U.S. Agriculture Innovation Agenda
• Future opportunities for research and collaboration

"Drawn to natural history: Enhancing field courses with drawing and field journal instruction" with Bethann Garramon Merkle.

Field drawing has long been used as a method of documentation and observation in the natural sciences. However, more technologically advanced documentation tools, perceived dichotomies between artistic and scientific capabilities, and low artistic confidence in both students and instructors have resulted in declining interest and usage of field drawing as a skill. Can the value of field drawing be revived? How can these mental barriers be challenged and overcome? Bethann's been working hard to find out.

Tune in to learn:

• What barriers keep students and instructors from embracing art in the natural sciences
• How backwards design can help instructors better incorporate art into their courses
• How to find and use a "sit spot"
• Some techniques to reframe art and its purpose for students and instructors

Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a system by which pests are controlled using informed decision-making techniques such as pest monitoring and pest thresholds, instead of regular, scheduled pesticide use. Holistic IPM takes things to the next level beyond that, incorporating economic, social, and other advanced systems into the decision-making process. In this episode, Tom will walk us through all things IPM, including holistic IPM facets, techniques, success stories, and future research.

Tune in to learn:

• What sparked the change from scheduled pesticides to IPM
• What are some common IPM and holistic IPM techniques
• How holistic IPM has helped cotton farmers in Arizona and apple farmers in the North East
• What are some of the future areas of growth for holistic IPM

"Risk assessment of pollen-mediated gene flow from Ga1-m field corn to dent-sterile Ga1-s popcorn" with Dr. Amit Jhala and Dr. Ethann Barnes.

Popcorn accounts for a small portion of the corn grown in the United States. It is therefore important to protect popcorn varieties from cross-pollination with other field corn varieties. Up until now, genetic differences have protected popcorn from field corn cross-pollination. However, the introduction of certain Mexican maize varieties into the corn breeding pool for desirable traits has also introduced the potential risk for corn plants that are genetically compatible with popcorn cross-pollination. Drs. Jhala and Barnes are working to assess these risks to your favorite snack.

Tune in to learn:

• How cross-pollination in corn is similar to keys and doors.
• The process by which corn plants are pollinated
• What some of the key factors are in corn cross-pollination
• Why even as little as 5% gene flow can pose a severe threat

"Registration of 'Butta 12', A Two-Row Malting Barley Adapted to the California Central Valley with Proven Floor-Malting Success and Craft Brewer Acceptance" with Lynn Gallagher and Ron Silberstein

California is a prime location for craft brewers and microbreweries. However, fungi and virus disease susceptibility have made it difficult for many barley varieties (such as those used for the malt used in beer and whiskey production elsewhere) to thrive in California's Central Valley. Lynn Gallagher has spent twenty years developing disease and fungi resistant malting barley varieties. Working with UC Davis, USDA, and Ron Silberstein of Admiral Maltings, he and other barley growers have tested hundreds of barley varieties for both agronomically valuable traits and malting quality. In this episode, we talk with Lynn and Ron about what goes into malting, barley breeding, and the three tiers of testing that malting barleys must undergo before finding their way into your favorite brew.

Tune in to learn:

• The history of malting barley in California
• What malt is and how it's made
• What agronomic traits are valuable in malting barley
• Why it's important for barley to be tested at multiple levels of scale before being used in malt production

"Tapping into Wild Carrot Diversity for New Sources of Abiotic Stress Tolerance to Strengthen Carrot Pre-Breeding in Bangladesh and Pakistan" with Dr. Philipp Simon.

Carrots are a diverse crop that grows worldwide. Packed with nutrients and flavor, many of its wild relatives also carry important traits such as resistance to abiotic stresses like drought, heat, or salinity. These traits can be crucial as we look at how to feed our growing population; however, without growing these carrot wild relatives under these stressful conditions, it can be difficult to pinpoint which varieties carry which traits. Partnering with scientists in Bangladesh and Pakistan, Dr. Phil Simon and his team are working to identify valuable traits in carrots from all over the world in the hopes of improving future carrot breeding efforts.

Tune in to learn:

• What common roadside plant is actually a wild relative of carrot
• How the lifecycle of carrots works
• What it's like to go on a seed collecting expedition
• How to grow carrots at home
