Latest News From UGA Extension
CAES researchers explore ways to abate PFAS 'forever chemicals' In April, the Environmental Protection Agency announced the nation’s first drinking water standard for “forever chemicals,” a group of persistent, human-made chemicals that can pose a health risk to people at even the smallest detectable levels of exposure. The new rules are part of efforts to limit pollution from these per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, which can persist in the environment for centuries. Supported by a nearly $1.6 million grant from the EPA, researchers from the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences are developing improved, cost-effective treatment systems with advanced technologies for removing PFAS.
UGA turf science helps athletes avoid injury on the field When the University of Georgia Bulldogs step between the hedges at Sanford Stadium, the grass on Dooley Field needs to look perfect. More importantly, it needs to help safeguard the health of athletes who compete on it. Gerald Henry plays a big role in the latter. The UGA Athletic Association’s endowed professor in environmental turfgrass leads a research team committed to creating sports fields that look good and perform well to limit the occurrence of injuries.
UGA turfgrass alumnus finds his calling in golf course management and natural spaces Jim Evans rises before the sun for his commute to work, not even passing a stoplight on his drive to The Cliffs at Keowee Falls, a golf community in rural South Carolina. He starts each day doing the thing he loves most — mowing the greens.
CAES leads global project to boost local food systems in the United Arab Emirates Each year, more than 1.3 billion tons of edible food is lost or wasted across the global supply chain — much after harvest but before it ever reaches a plate. Now, researchers at the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and partners across North America are working to help reduce that loss in one of the most challenging agricultural environments in the world: the United Arab Emirates. Through the new international collaboration, U.S.-based postharvest specialists partnered with agricultural leaders in Abu Dhabi to strengthen local food systems, improve crop handling and storage, and train the next generation of Extension professionals — all with the goal to keep more food fresher, longer.
Outstanding 4-H youth and supporters celebrated at Georgia 4-H State Congress Georgia 4-H recognized the achievements of youth participants, adult leaders and community supporters during the annual 4-H State Congress, held July 23–26 at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia in Atlanta. This weeklong capstone event featured state-level competition in Project Achievement and Leadership in Action for top 4-H’ers from across the state.
Community-driven agriculture grows more than just produce In Winterville, Georgia, a small market grew into a movement. Meet the people behind the Marigold Collective, where farmers, volunteers and neighbors band together to transform fresh food into shared growth. With support from University of Georgia Cooperative Extension, Marigold Collective is working to make local food more accessible while creating economic opportunities for small agribusinesses.
