Integrated crop-ruminant livestock systems as a strategy to increase nutrient circularity and promote sustainability in the context of climate change
Using multi-species swards to reduce methane emissions in ruminants. The global agri-food sector will have to face the challenge of satisfying the food demand of 3 billion more people by 2050 in a sustainable, healthy, and equitable way. Read more
Machine learning methods for the human microbiome (QUINCE_E21EPSRC)
This project based in Dr Quince’s group at the Earlham Institute (. https://www.earlham.ac.uk/quince-group). will use machine learning to develop new computational methods for the integrated analysis of metagenomics and metabolomics data from the human microbiome. Read more
The impact of peat free compost alternatives on the physical, nutritional and sensory quality of kale
Peat is a finite resource that has been exploited by the horticulture industry, leading to damage of peatland habitats. Peat products are being phased out in the UK and Ireland and replaced with peat-free alternatives, such as biochar, coir, and bark composts. Read more
The development of tools and resources for the identification of inhibitors of pigment biosynthetic pathways in the chloroplast
Herbicide synergies are desirable, allowing lower application rates, or frequency of treatments, reducing the incidence of herbicide resistance and conferring effects across a greater range of weed species. Read more
