Other News Gund Institute Funded PhD Opportunities The Gund Institute for Environment at the University of Vermont (UVM) seeks exceptional PhD applicants to start Fall 2024 and conduct interdisciplinary research on global environmental challenges. Applications are due January 15, 2024. 28th ICABR Conference Call for Abstract Submissions In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released their report Making Better Policies for Food Systems, which documented that since 1960, global food production increased 390%, while the amount of land used to produce food increased by 10% and food systems account for 21-37% of GHG emissions. The OECD went on to say that agriculture is facing the triple challenge of providing adequate, affordable, safe and nutritious food for the growing population, providing livelihoods all along the food value chain and doing so while increasing the sector’s sustainability and contributing to combatting climate change. Meeting these challenges will require innovations that improve crop productivity, as well as contributing to a circular bioeconomy. 2024 NAREA Conference June 9 – 11, 2024 | Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Program Committee: Chair and President-Elect Donna Ramirez Harrington (University of Vermont, donna.ramirez-harrington@uvm.edu), and Selected Paper Committee Chair Christina McGranaghan (University of Delaware cmcgran@udel.edu).
