Meet our Summer Interns!

Our talented and diverse group of interns come from Canada, Rwanda, Argentina, Brazil, and the United States. These undergraduates are researchers, analysts, innovators, and future leaders in the FEW nexus. 

This summer they are working on environmental justice and ethics, soil quality and nutrition, irrigation modeling and climate forecasting, and harvested rainwater for farms and safe municipal drinking water. 

This array of projects reveals the scope and impact of the Global FEWture Alliance's portfolio of applied research. See more details at the link below!

Re-Forested!

Graduate students in MIEH 690 took a field trip to the 10-acre Bowie agroecology site, Forested, founded and managed by Lincoln Smith. Many biodynamics were there to consider: edible species including both native and non-native fruits, veggies, and herbs; grafting techniques that enhance the fruit yield and taste of existing rootstocks; adjacent mature forest with wild orchids; humanure composting.
