TIA researcher Cameron Stone is nearing completion of his PhD and has summarised some of his findings in 2 new factsheets.
Cam explains how different protected cropping structures create unique microclimates for cherry production and how this impacts fruit quality. In the second factsheet, Cam compares five different cherry training systems, their ability to intercept light and how this affects fruit yield and quality.
Every year, one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption is lost or wasted (UN Environment Programme). By focusing efforts to minimise loss and by creating new products from waste, significant benefits can be gained including improving global food security, improving return to growers, increasing productivity and economic growth, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and more efficient use of resources required to grow, manufacture and transport food.
