Did you know that urban food security is a huge issue in today's society? There are mechanisms in place to achieve true food security in poor urban areas. @UofGFoodProf #Food 2150 #Assignment #Osorio

Protein-rich nutrients can be found in other foods besides meats. Cricket powder is a source of protein available to consumers, but do the consumers accept it as a food source? There is quite a divide between those who accept it and those who don't. @UofGFoodProf #Food2150 #Jones

Getting an opportunity to brew our own beer is a great opportunity to learn the value of barley and enzymes during malting. Looking forward to try the final product! Easily the best school project! #FOOD2150 @UofGFoodProf #Gupta

@UofGFoodProf farmers apply a fungicide application to their crops to prevent mycotoxins, mold and other fungal diseases. Once they harvest the crop they dry it to ~14% moisture to preserve grain quality and nutrients, ensuring a high quality crop.🌽 #Food2150 #assignment #Nuss

Did you know that beer by-products are recycled? After brewing beer the by-products left over are rich in protein and fibers. The by-products can be used for a number of food applications such as cereal-based baked products. @UofGFoodProf #Gupta #Food2150 #drinkbusch #crushpints

Starch is a storage copolymer with unique physiochemical properties. The handy thing is that starches can be modified using oxidation, esterification or etherification reactions to meet certain requirements or provide chemical benefits. @UofGFoodProf #assignment #Food2150 #masina

Peas can be used to mimic animal proteins by hydrolyzing the proteins to form peptide fibrils which are similar to meat. Could this be a way to increase demand for field peas? #Munialo #assignment #food2150

Starch plays an essential role in the global food industry. In 2000, the world starch market consisted of 82% corn, produced 48.5 million tons of product and generated over 22 billion CAD. That is truly a-maize-ing! #Food2150 #LeCorre @UofGFoodProf

Did you know people started to preserve food thousands of years ago by freezing it? Chinese have been storing goods in ice cellars as early as 1000 B.C. #Assignment #Staff #FOOD2150

With global temperatures rising, northern parts of Canada are receiving more growing degree days every year. This opens up new opportunities for crops that could previously not be grown in the prairies and northern Ontario such as grain corn🌽🌱@UofGFoodProf #FOOD2150 #Challinor

Increasing levels of ozone and carbon dioxide will have a negative impact on crops. C3 crops will have increased biomass and both C3 and C4 crops are likely to use less water as CO2 concentrations incease. #assignment #Food2150 #Challinor

With increasing greenhouse gas emissions, rising temperatures and larger growing seasons, #challinor says this will not benefit producers. However, can #NorthernAg producers grow crops with higher maturity's? allowing for higher yields? @UofGFoodProf #Food2150

Africa’s agriculture production relies heavily on rainfall. Livestock systems as well as 89% of cereal crops solely rely on rainfall. How can farmers adapt to highly variable climates to produce food and feed efficiently? @UofGFoodProf #Challinor #Food2150

Despite our knowledge of food increasing drastically over the past decade, many food-borne diseases such as salmonella and E. coli still generate public health concerns. Can there be practices that eliminate these diseases? @UofGFoodProf #FOOD2150 #Newell
