Exploring how soil preparation and seed selection determine the success of a crop ecosystem.
Analyzing water conservation techniques and the biological competition between crops and weeds.
Studying the post-growth phase of agriculture and the prevention of food spoilage.
The Invisible World of Microorganisms
Examining the diverse roles of microbes as both essential allies in industry and dangerous pathogens in disease.
Categorizing the major groups of microorganisms and their specific habitats.
Investigating how humans harness microorganisms for food production and antibiotic development.
Exploring the spread of communicable diseases and the science of preventing microbial growth in food.
Materials and Chemical Properties
