The database documented pests and pesticide applications.</p> May 17, 2022 - 3:15pm Andy Fell /blog/diversifying-agriculture-control-pest-outbreaks Bringing Out the Best in Wild Birds on Farms /news/bringing-out-best-wild-birds-farms <p><span><span>A supportive environment can bring out the best in an individual 鈥 even for a bird. </span></span></p> <p><span><span>After an <em>E.coli </em>outbreak in 2006 devastated the spinach industry, farmers were pressured to remove natural habitat to keep wildlife 鈥 and the foodborne pathogens they can sometimes carry 鈥 from visiting crops. A study published today from the University of California, Davis, shows that farms with surrounding natural habitat experience the most benefits from birds, including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks.</span></span></p> February 23, 2022 - 11:38am Katherine E Kerlin /news/bringing-out-best-wild-birds-farms 嘿嘿视频 to Lead Groundwater and Irrigated Agriculture Sustainability Study /food/news/uc-davis-lead-groundwater-and-irrigated-agriculture-sustainability-study 嘿嘿视频 researchers to lead research to find ways to sustain irrigated agriculture and improve groundwater quality and quantity under a changing climate.
