Deborah Pagliaccia’s work has many promising applications, including improving plant and soil health, reducing waste, addressing hunger and food access, reducing water use, and reducing fossil fuel use. Food waste bioproducts, which she calls digestates, are fermented food for plants and other microorganisms. The best part is that gardeners can make it at home!
Dr. Deborah Pagliaccia is a professional researcher in the Department of Microbiology and Plant Pathology, at the University of California, Riverside. She is also the Managing Director of CAFÉ, (California Agriculture and Food Enterprise), a program which supports connections among those interested in food and agriculture on the campus and in the community.
