Doing More With Less - On The Farm

Researchers at Arizona State University have found a way to do more with less – on the farm. The work, which has been published in the journal Trends in Biotechnology, helps increase crops’ yield, while using fewer resources, like water and fertilizer.

Roberto Gaxiola has been working on this; he’s an associate professor at ASU dealing with the genetics and molecular biology of plants.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
