All of our food is made from plants or from an animal that ate plants with only one notable exception - salt - and just 12 plant species provide 3/4 of all of the food consumed on earth. Dr. Susan Murch shares how we can use more plants more sustainably to feed future generations. Dr. Susan Murch is a Professor and Canada Research Chair in Natural Products Chemistry (2001-2015) at the UBC Okanagan. Her research investigates the chemistry of plants and how plant chemistry affects human health.
Dr. Murch is the recipient of several awards including UBC Researcher of the Year and the G.H. Neil Towers Award. She has published over 115 research articles in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals, and over 20 book chapters and an edited book ‘Journal of a Single Cell to a Whole Plant’. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
