Given this staggering decline in North America’s avian population, there is no better time than now to help scientists track bird populations – by taking part in the 23rd annual Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC), Feb. 14-17. The event is co...

Recent studies indicate that bioactive peptides, organic substances formed by amino acids and joined by covalent bonds known as amide or peptide bonds, may play a significant role in human health, particularly in the digestive, endocrine...

Jon McKenzie is working with area school teachers and their students to address issues meaningful to them and their communities, using strategic storytelling, a variety of media-making and participatory research. His work encourages students to...

To help onion growers fight the pathogen Stemphylium leaf blight, which is quickly gaining fungicide resistance, a team of Cornell researchers has identified which fungicides are still effective in the fields.

Contrary to popular belief, new research shows that a hemp plant’s propensity to become too high in THC is determined by genetics and not as a stress response to growing conditions.

Each person on Earth eats an average of 70 pounds of the grain each year, and even more is grown for animal feed and biofuel. And as the global population continues to grow, increasing the amount of food produced on the same amount of land...

In the Capitol lobby, which was lined with CCE banners and tables, lawmakers engaged with interactive displays highlighting CCE-led initiatives such as 4-H Camps, farm-to-school programs, robotics, food systems, and Relatives and Parents...

In a symbiotic relationship, microbes called rhizobia act like agricultural “butlers” to fetch nitrogen from the air for the legume plants. When carbon is added to the soil, it helps the soil retain nutrients, but it can repress plant-microbe...

Supported by a grant from the Office of Engagement Initiatives, the minor is hosted by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and open to all Cornell undergraduates. The SCoPE minor consists of 18 credit hours, separate from the eight...

Beyond that date, a return of the public retail portion of the orchards is uncertain, as the operation has been struggling financially for many years. Administrators from the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station in Ithaca are...
