INTEGRITY: Integrated crop- ruminant livestock systems as a strategy to increase nutrient circularity in beef cattle production systems
Background. Agriculture is the single largest contributor (~30%) to overall Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in Ireland accounting for the majority of methane emissions produced primarily due to ruminant livestock production. Read more
Functional food ingredients from the oleaginous yeast Metschnikowia pulcherrima
The department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bath is inviting applications for the following fully funded PhD project, expected to commence January 2023. Read more
SOIL BIOTIC INTERACTION AND THEIR ROLES IN NUTRIENT TRANSFORMATIONS OF AGRICULTURAL SOIL
Soil biodiversity plays an essential role in driving litter decomposition, and nutrient cycling. This project aims to identify biotic interactions among soil communities, and decipher their roles in regulating nitrogen and phosphorous cycles. Read more
