There was good news all around for the Quebec agri-food sector in the recent provincial budget.
Before that beautiful salmon filet lands on your plate, a lot of less appetizing stuff gets stripped away: By one estimate, the global seafood industry produces 64 million metric tons of waste each year. A new study suggests a potentially sweeter fate for all those heads and guts: They can be turned into a coal-like substance called hydrochar, which could be used as fuel or added to soil to improve fertility and sequester carbon (Energy Fuels 2015, DOI: 10.1021/acs.energyfuels.5b01671).
Chaque ann茅e, des millions de poussins m芒les, jug茅s sans valeur par l'industrie des poules pondeuses, sont euthanasi茅s d猫s leur sortie听de l'oeuf. Une pratique que l'Allemagne veut cesser d'ici 2017, et 脿 laquelle une myst茅rieuse invention de l'Universit茅 McGill pourrait mettre fin....Au Qu茅bec, l'Universit茅 McGill planche aussi secr猫tement sur une technologie semblable.
Models provide researchers with a view to the future, allowing stakeholders the opportunity to adapt to the effects of climate change
