This technology will not take away people's jobs, but it will actually enhance people's jobs. - Niall Pigott There's a lot of technology coming from the fertilizer and pesticide application side looking at identifying weeds, diseases, and applying pesticide just to the points of where it's at using vision control. All that information can be fed into a higher level of AI to actually get them to understand what way to apply crops and to get the best return while having the least inputs. - Robert Leonard I think the farming community in general is quite adaptive, they have to be. - Niall PigottIn the future there's going to be a lot more robotic controls, but you need to be monitoring what's going on. It's not a case of just watching and letting the robots take over. The farmer needs to understand the information they're getting. - Robert Leonard Farming is such a long standing industry, we all need farmers to produce our food. It's like everything else, some people are resistant to change naturally. I grew up on a farm and I'm currently a part time farmer. Inspeaking to and engaging with farmers, a lot of farmers are probably the most innovative people I know - Tom Curran If we do a certain action, we have to take into account so many different factors; climate, nature, water, air, etc. This is a message I think that we need to communicate to the general public, how engineers and scientists are working to be more environmentally sustainable, but also to take into account changing weather patterns for the future. - Tom Curran KEYWORDS#engineering #farming #agriculture #machinery #sustainability #ploughingchampionships

What’s a resilient biosystem? Healthy soil, healthy water, healthy cycles. They’re so key that even defence departments around the world are starting to invest in creating them, as research shows we have just 60 harvests left if we stick to our industrialised system of agriculture.There’s hope for us yet, and it lies in the soil. Microbiologist and regenerative agriculture expert, Walter Jehne, joins me to explain how soil can capture carbon, promote global cooling, and feed billions on very little space. He explains how politics got in the way of progress in the 70s, and why governments are scrambling to speak to him and his team. This is an utterly fascinating discussion (please bear with the lower quality recording). Walter was suggested by listeners so, please, if there is anyone you would like me to get on the show, don’t hesitate to reach out.Listen to the full interview here, catch it on on Apple or Spotify, or watch on Youtube.

On this week's The Sci-Files, your hosts Chelsie and Danny interview Andrew Kearney. Andrew is a student in the MSU Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering. Due to the low water activity (aw) and high osmotic pressure, sugar is generally recognized as a low microbiological risk source to human health. As a low moisture commodity sugar may receive little to no additional processing in a home environment.  Other low-moisture commodities, such as flour, were once also generally recognized as safe. However, following foodborne pathogen outbreaks in flour in recent years, there is interest in evaluating other low moisture commodities for foodborne pathogen risks. In response to outbreaks of pathogens in connection to flour, U.S. FDA guidance has suggested not to consume raw flour. This development has made assessing the risk of other shelf-stable commodities, like sugar, important to evaluate before a similar outbreak event occurs, despite no outbreaks of foodborne pathogens in added sugar within the U.S. having been reported to date. The objective of this study was to assess the survival of Salmonella in multiple sugar products during long-term storage. Granulated, powdered, brown, and liquid sugar obtained from commercial suppliers were inoculated with a 5-strain Salmonella cocktail via dry transfer. Samples were stored at three temperatures (4, 25, 37°C) in sealed containers, and sampled 12 times up to ~1,000 days.If you're interested in talking about your MSU research on the radio or nominating a student, please email Chelsie and Danny at scifiles@impact89fm.org.

The Fitness of Nature for Mankind featuring Biologist Michael Denton Watch this presentation at- https://youtu.be/9SL_xqSvWqU 36,385 views Discovery Science 123K subscribers Renowned author and biologist Michael Denton gives a new expression to what he calls the “medieval synthesis” of knowledge about life, now enjoying a “Reconquista” thanks to modern science. In charming and lyrical yet rigorous fashion, Denton reviews the intelligent design evidence detailed in his books, including the most recent, The Miracle of the Cell. Join him as he explores the myriad of ways nature is fit not just for life, but for human life. Denton is author of the new book "The Miracle of the Cell" (2020) as well as many other books such as "Nature's Destiny," "Fire-Maker," "The Wonder of Water," and "Evolution: Still a Theory in Crisis." You will never think of nature in the same way after you watch this presentation! Dr. Denton's new book The Miracle of the Cell [https://www.discovery.org/store/produ...] provides compelling evidence that long before life emerged on our planet, the design of the carbon-based cell was foreshadowed in the order of nature, in the exquisite fitness of the laws of nature for this foundational unit of all life on Earth. Nowhere is this fitness more apparent than in the properties of the key atomic constituents of the cell. Each of the atoms of life — including carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, as well as several metal elements — features a suite of unique properties fine-tuned to serve highly specific, indispensable roles in the cell. Moreover, some of these properties are specifically fit for essential roles in the cells of advanced aerobic organisms like ourselves. Author Michael Denton is a Senior Fellow with Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. He holds an MD from Bristol University and a PhD in biochemistry from King's College in London. His previous books include Evolution: A Theory in Crisis and Nature's Destiny: How the Laws of Biology Reveal Purpose in the Universe. He has published his work in Nature, Nature Genetics, BioSystems, Human Genetics, and Biology and Philosophy.
