The mission of NRAES is to assist faculty and staff at member land grant universities in increasing the availability of research- and experience-based knowledge to (1) improve the competitiveness and sustainability of agriculture and natural resources enterprises, (2) increase understanding of processes that safeguard the food supply, and (3) promote environmental protection and enhancement. All NRAES activities are guided by faculty from member land grant universities (see the map below for a list of cooperating members). NRAES began in 1974 through an agreement among the cooperative extension programs in the Northeast. The program is guided by the NRAES Committee, which consists of a representative from each member university, the NRAES director, and an administrative liaison appointed by the Northeast Cooperative Extension Directors Committee. Administrative support is provided by Cornell University, the host university. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30a .m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., eastern time. Currently, NRAES has published more than 100 publications and distributes a total of more than 160 publications on the following topics: general agriculture, aquaculture, agrichemical handling, IPM, horticulture, greenhouses, building construction, livestock and poultry, dairy, waste management, composting, farm management, farm safety, forestry and wildlife, and home.

  • The Vertical Farm: a Review of Developments and Implications for the Vertical City
    buildings Review The Vertical Farm: A Review of Developments and Implications for the Vertical City Kheir Al-Kodmany Department of Urban Planning and Policy, College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60607, USA; [email protected] Received: 10 January 2018; Accepted: 1 February 2018; Published: 5 February 2018 Abstract: This paper discusses the emerging need for vertical farms by examining issues related to food security, urban population growth, farmland shortages, “food miles”, and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Urban planners and agricultural leaders have argued that cities will need to produce food internally to respond to demand by increasing population and to avoid paralyzing congestion, harmful pollution, and unaffordable food prices. The paper examines urban agriculture as a solution to these problems by merging food production and consumption in one place, with the vertical farm being suitable for urban areas where available land is limited and expensive. Luckily, recent advances in greenhouse technologies such as hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics have provided a promising future to the vertical farm concept. These high-tech systems represent a paradigm shift in farming and food production and offer suitable and efficient methods for city farming by minimizing maintenance and maximizing yield. Upon reviewing these technologies and examining project prototypes, we find that these efforts may plant the seeds for the realization of the vertical farm. The paper, however, closes by speculating about the consequences, advantages, and disadvantages of the vertical farm’s implementation. Economic feasibility, codes, regulations, and a lack of expertise remain major obstacles in the path to implementing the vertical farm.

  • NRAES-093.Pdf (5.290Mb)
    Acknowledgments This publication is an update and expansion of the 1987 Cornell Guidelines on Perennial Production. Informa- tion in chapter 3 was adapted from a presentation given in March 1996 by John Bartok, professor emeritus of agricultural engineering at the University of Connecticut, at the Connecticut Perennials Shortcourse, and from articles in the Connecticut Greenhouse Newsletter, a publication put out by the Department of Plant Science at the University of Connecticut. Much of the information in chapter 10 about pest control was adapted from presentations given by Tim Abbey, extension educator with the Integrated Pest Management Program at the University of Connecticut, and Leanne Pundt, extension educator at the Haddam Cooperative Extension Center at the University of Connecticut, at the March 1996 Connecticut Perennials Shortcourse, and from presenta- tions by Margery Daughtrey, senior extension associate in plant pathology at the Long Island Horticultural Research Laboratory, Cornell Cooperative Extension. This publication has been peer-reviewed by the persons listed below. It was judged to be technically accurate and useful for cooperative extension programs and for the intended audience.

As if the evil Loki himself were at his heels, the boy raced through the old town's tangle of narrow lanes and down its tumble of steep alleys, his sandals pounding the uneven cobbles, the icy air hurting in his chest, his breath coming in rapid, painful gulps. Already the twelve bells of the Fane had ceased pealing, and Great Edwyn swung alone, making the air, the houses, and even the ground shake with his thunder. The boy quickened his pace; snow-feathers were beginning to tumble all around him again, and last night's fall was already hard-packed on the pavements, making the boy skid sometimes on corners, making him whirl his arms extravagantly to keep balance. In the town square he slowed, drawing long, deeper breaths. His cloak was of lined brown cotton in double thickness and tightly belted, but now the icy air struck sharply on his bare legs; he paused by a workmen's brazier, going as close as he dared, until his skin burned and tingled.

    City of Waltham Community Preservation Act Funding Application Submitted by Historic New England The Historic Greenhouses at The Vale (Theodore Lyman Estate) May 2016 May 2, 2016 Waltham Community Preservation Committee Waltham City Hall 610 Main Street Waltham, MA 02152 To the Honorable Members of the Waltham Community Preservation Committee: On behalf of Historic New England, I am pleased to submit a Community Preservation Act funding application to the Waltham Community Preservation Committee, requesting $165,900 toward a $368,500 preservation project at The Vale, the 1793 Theodore Lyman Estate. The project will focus on the historic greenhouses, which were built between 1804 and c. 1930 and are among the oldest continuously operating examples in the United States. Through this project, the City of Waltham will help preserve these fragile nationally significant structures, ensure the health of the historic plant collections, and provide better service to the nearly 10,000 individuals who visit every year for greenhouse tours and plant sales. If sufficient funding is secured, this urgently-needed project can be carried out between April 1, 2017 and October 31, 2017. Thank you very much for considering our application. Benjamin K. Haavik, our team leader for property care, looks forward to attending the next Committee meeting on May 10, 2016. If you have any questions beforehand, please feel free to contact me or Laura Gadbery, our Institutional Giving Officer, at 617.994.5975 or [email protected]. We appreciate the support of the City of Waltham and the Community Preservation Committee for the Lyman Estate. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Carl R.
