Q&A: Recruiting flowers to combat weeds and promote biodiversity
Rebecca Stup '23, MS '26, is a master's student in the lab of Antonio DiTommaso, a weed ecologist and associate dean and director of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station (Cornell AES). DiTommaso's lab has been exploring planting wildflower strips along farmland as a strategy to increase biodiversity, attract pollinators and combat weeds.

Midwest Farms Are Going Nuts
A shift toward growing chestnuts, pecans and walnuts is reviving soil once exhausted by dreary corn and soy.

Good Morning #Canada
2026 has been designated as the International Year of the Woman Farmer by the United Nations, in an effort to increase and improve food security across the planet. Once again we call upon the fairer sex to save humanity.
Women led farms are on the rise in Canada. From the 2021 #StatsCan report, there were 80,000 female farm operators, representing 30% of total farm operators, up from 25% in 1991. In general female participation is increasing while men are decreasing. Farming is an industry where women operators can achieve wage parity with male counterparts because compensation is based on market conditions, but currently most women led farms are smaller with less annual revenues.
A helpful #AI tells me a female farmer could could be called a farmerette, a farmeress, or farmHER. So helpful...
Two articles are linked - a feel good news piece from the CBC, and more solid demographic info from FCC-FAC.ca.
