My model projects the economic effects of Prop 12 on the North American hog/pork supply chain. It incorporates the vertical supply chain of representing farms, intermediaries, and consumers. The equilibrium is derived in the vertical market without regulations, which is … Continue reading →

Our research builds upon this emergent body of work that employs urban agroecology as an entry point into broader policy discussions that can enable transitions to more sustainable and equitable city and regional food systems in the U.S. . This … Continue reading →

The inventories, however, must then be structured according to the formats usable by openLCA. This modeling process also requires an abrupt switch from a very high level diagram — the flow diagram — to a detailed inventory requiring low-level information … Continue reading →

Agricultural systems are a critical component of this infrastructure, providing crucial food products as part of the human food system, but also providing vital agricultural by-products as inputs for other industrial systems. They are deeply coupled with the natural environment … Continue reading →

Our results emphasize that lytic phages are likely to be an important component of the microbiome and are capable of influencing both bacterial abundance and diversity over short timescales.In our first of multiple experiments , we conducted a proof of … Continue reading →

The first experiment was performed less than one month after collection, and the last experiment was done six months after collection.For each experimental replicate within an experiment , 6 seeds from each field-collected tomato type were placed into sterile 1.5 mL … Continue reading →

This upstream production facility uses the same method of expression and follows the same schedule as the base case upstream facility.Transient expression in plants is a method of recombinantly producing proteins without stable integration of genes in the nuclear or … Continue reading →
