Alessandro Ossola, UC Davis Assistant Professor, received the 2022 New Innovator in Food & Agriculture Research Award for his project on using big data to develop climate models for urban tree crops, aiding climate-resilient food systems.
UC Davis is testing “climate-ready trees” to ensure future shade as weather extremes grow. Inspired by Alison Berry’s research, students and staff are planting drought-tolerant species across campus to create a resilient urban forest.
