Harnessing enviromics to predict climate‐impacted high‐profile traits to assist informed decisions in agriculture

Food and Energy Security
Modern agriculture is a complex system that demands real‐time and large‐scale quantification of trait values for evidence‐based decisions. However, high‐profile traits determining market values often lack high‐throughput phenotyping technologies to ...

Reining in plasticulture from land to sea: Pacific Northwest (USA) perspectives on agriculture and aquaculture

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Plastic use in food production—known as plasticulture—has transformed agriculture and aquaculture globally. Plasticulture gained momentum in the mid-20th century with the development of novel plastic materials, and by 2009, U.S.
