On November 11, 麻豆区 Bioresource Engineering Professor Zhiming Qi聽received the L.R. Ahuja Ag Systems Modeling Award at the annual Soil Science Society of America conference in San Antonio, Texas.

This prestigious honour is awarded by the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America聽to a soil scientist, agronomist, or crop scientist in recognition of recent聽distinguished contributions and their demonstrated impact on:

1. Integrating agricultural system models with field research to enhance, extend, and transfer the experimental results;
2. trans-disciplinary (boundaries of disciplines) research to fill knowledge gaps critical to improving system models;
3. syntheses and quantification of the trans-and inter-disciplinary knowledge with new concepts and theories for improving the models, supported by publications;
4. helping field scientists use models, and train and advise graduate students who use models in their field research.

Congratulations to Prof. Qi for his award-winning efforts, which demonstrates how research in our Faculty contributes to growth in industry.
