2012 Annual Interpretive Summary
In November 2012, the Kenneth M. Pretty Graduate Scholarship was awarded to Yuki Audette, Ph.D. candidate in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of Guelph, whose research is on soil P chemistry dynamics, especially in organically managed soils. "I believe this field should have more attention," writes Yuki, "because soil P mechanisms are still not well understood and vital to both food security and environmental impact in the future." ON-13F
