Cupcakes in the Grad Lounge
by Michelle Carkner 11 May '23

11 May '23

Hi everyone, There are cupcakes in the graduate lounge. They were originally for my daughter’s birthday, but because the label says, “MAY contain nuts” (they don’t) her daycare couldn’t serve them. So you all benefit! Michelle Michelle Carkner, Msc, PAg, CCA Phd Candidate She/Her Natural Systems Agriculture Lab University of Manitoba Mobile: 204-881-2464 I acknowledge that I live in Treaty 1 Territory, at the crossroads of the Anishinaabe, Metis, Cree, Dakota, and Oji-Cree Nations, and on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe peoples and the homeland of the Metis Nation.

Changes

04 May '23

Hi all, As many of you know, I'm retiring. My replacement isn't in place yet but Emily.Wolverton(a)umanitoba.ca can help you. I've really enjoyed working with you and will miss you all. An important part of the graduate student experience is connecting with fellow grad students. Prior to the pandemic, grad students knew each other and came together for coffee and social activities. Covid isolated people. There's an iniative underway to bring the department as a whole and grad students together again. I encourage you to reach out to your fellow students, to get to know each other, to discuss, debate and have some fun. I wish you all the very best.

grant proposal preparation session
by Emily Wolverton 02 May '23

02 May '23

Dear Students, I am inviting you to sit in on a "grant proposal preparation session" that many members of the Ag faculty are involved in. Background Agriculture and Agri-food Canada, along with NSERC (natural sciences) and SSHRC (social sciences) will fund projects in the area of "Sustainable Agriculture" for a 4-year period beginning in Spring, 2024. These are large grants with a minimum of $500,000 per year. The proposals are due Oct 2023. One of the project ideas that we as faculty are working on is "Perennializing Canadian Agriculture for Multifunctionality". We are meeting regularly and engaged in the dynamic process of conceptualizing ideas into a competitive proposal. You are welcome to join us to observe the process and contribute ideas. I have attached a ppt that describes some of our thinking so far. When: Monday, May 8 - 10 AM to Noon (recurring over the next 3 months, dates TBD) Where: Room 218 Plant Science (coffee and tea provided!) Why: To provide graduate students with the opportunity to observe (and contribute to) the creative process involved in conceptualizing and preparing a large, integrated research proposal on sustainable agriculture. Hope you can make it - even for a portion of the time Martin Entz Martin Entz, PhD, FCSA Professor of Cropping Systems and Natural Systems Agriculture Department of Plant Science, U of M, Winnipeg, Canada R3T 2N2 204 474-6077 Want to learn how farming and elephants can co-exist in Kenya with the help of bees? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOo8phbTWms The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories.

His research focuses on the intersection of international trade law and environmental protection. Specifically, Luter’s thesis explores the processes by which member states of the World Trade Organization (WTO) are carving out widening regulatory autonomy, beyond the perceived confines of WTO jurisprudence, to adopt trade policy measures having environmental protection objectives. The project examines the significance of these developments for Border Carbon Adjustments proposals. What are you most excited about this fellowship? I look forward to building in-depth policy knowledge and research experience on the intersection of trade, environment and food security. [https://files.constantcontact.com/4b5923da701/a66d15ba-21e0-4317-a704-88c65…] What are you most excited about this fellowship? Rarely does knowledge from research publications reach policymakers in a timely manner. I am particularly excited about the opportunity to work closely with leading experts who may help bridge the “knowledge to action” gap and the prospect of working with a transdisciplinary team around untangling the complexities of food systems. Kushank is passionate about the bi-directional relationship between food systems and climate change: how food systems can curb climate change, and systemic risks posed by climate change to food systems. Trained as a disciplinary geoscientist, he pivoted from utilizing his skills in resource extraction towards the interdisciplinarity required to work on problems at the intersection of food-water-climate. Before starting his PhD, Kushank worked both with grassroot and research organizations. Currently pursuing his PhD at the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability at the University of British Columbia, Kushank studies systemic climate risks and food system resilience. Some of his projects include understanding cross-border climate vulnerabilities to food supply, defining and measuring novel weather risks using a bottom-up approach, and on-farm climate action in the Canadian context.

Her research focuses on agricultural innovations and agri-food supply chains.

Ses recherches portent sur l'intersection du droit commercial international et de la protection de l'environnement. Plus précisément, la thèse de Luter explore les processus par lesquels les États membres de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC) se taillent une autonomie réglementaire élargie, au-delà des limites perçues de la jurisprudence de l'OMC, pour adopter des mesures de politique commerciale mondiale ayant des objectifs de protection de l'environnement. Le projet examine l'importance de ces développements pour les propositions d'ajustement à la frontière pour le carbone. Qu'est-ce qui vous enthousiasme le plus dans cette bourse ? J'ai hâte d'acquérir une connaissance approfondie des politiques et une expérience de recherche à l'intersection du commerce, de l'environnement et de la sécurité alimentaire.

Les connaissances issues des publications de recherche parviennent rarement aux décideurs. Je suis particulièrement enthousiasmé par l'opportunité de travailler en étroite collaboration avec des experts de premier plan qui peuvent aider à combler le fossé « de la connaissance à l'action » et la perspective de travailler avec une équipe transdisciplinaire pour démêler les complexités des systèmes alimentaires. Kushank est passionné par la relation bidirectionnelle entre les systèmes alimentaires et le changement climatique : comment les systèmes alimentaires pourraient être adaptés pour freiner le changement climatique et le défi complexe posé par le changement climatique aux systèmes alimentaires mondiaux et régionaux. Formé en tant que géoscientifique disciplinaire, il est passé de l'utilisation de ses compétences en extraction de ressources à l'interdisciplinarité requise pour travailler sur des problèmes à l'intersection de l'alimentation, de l'eau et du climat. Poursuivant actuellement son doctorat à l'Institute for Resource, Environment and Sustainability de l'Université de la Colombie-Britannique, Kushank étudie les systèmes alimentaires et d'utilisation des terres, en se concentrant sur les transformations durables et résilientes. Ses recherches doctorales visent à étudier la résilience des systèmes alimentaires au changement climatique et à d'autres chocs.
