Introducing Sustainable Packaging in Food Production
One major area where consumers demand more sustainability and accountability is packaging, particularly in foods. There's a push for more recyclable, compostable, or otherwise environmentally packaging options.
What Will Pest Management Look Like in the Future?
Most farmers would probably agree that pest monitoring and management is an ever-evolving practice that requires undivided attention to both your crops and trends in the pest space. That's because insects are constantly evolving.
Six Key Factors Driving Consumer-Mandated Supply Chain Transparency
With consumers increasing the need for food supply chain transparency, we dive into six key factors driving these demands.
Lighting Uniformity in Horticulture
Lighting uniformity in architecture has been a topic of interest for at least seventy years (e.g., IES 1947), where the goal is to encompass the range of illuminance values measured at an array of positions on a horizontal plane, all in a single metric.
Maximizing Shaft and Bearing Lifetimes in Agricultural Machinery
To optimize wear and friction values, shaft and bearing materials that work together harmoniously are crucial. The interdependence of material pairs constitutes a major challenge for bearing and shaft manufacturers.
The Smart Future of Agriculture
Smart farming uses modern technologies to increase the efficiency of agriculture, to use all resources more sparingly, to relieve people from monotonous work and to produce higher yields.
Driving a Revolution in Irish Agriculture - Micromotors Power Efficient and Sustainable Farming
Not only is Ireland at the forefront of technology development, but also its adoption. The Ifac Irish Farm Report 2022 reveals that over 80 per cent of Irish farmers now use some form of AgriTech to accelerate operations.
How AI Driven Pest Monitoring Can Benefit Organic Farmers
When it comes to certified organic systems, pest monitoring and management is paramount to a successful operation. Unlike traditional farms that have access to a bevy of specialized pesticides that can typically be utilized as needed, organic farmers aren't so fortunate.
The Tale of Two Cold-Storage Warehouses: Automating Aurora Organic Dairy
How a leading dairy producer used Westfalia AS/RS to streamline processes in two locations, helping deliver a higher quality product to its customers.
We Cannot Reduce Cost of Electricity, So We Learn How to Make Best Use of Energy
Part of this is to maximize the plant density per square meter, which means more and more plants can benefit from the same kilowatts sent to the LED lamps. We also use software to make better predictions on the amount that needs to be harvested so that there is zero waste.
Why More Growers Are Choosing Polycarbonate Panels
Polycarbonate panels offer growers a superior cladding solution, delivering effective light transmission and diffusion, simplifying maintenance and improving their structure's heat retention. They also present a number of options to choose from.
Is the Future Tomato Red?
At one time solely being known as the jewel in the summer salad, the role of the tomato has now evolved into something much bigger - potentially game-changing, in fact. Could it be about to solve the global food crisis? At least, one greenhouse in Holland thinks so.
The AI Agricultural Revolution - A Fertile Ground for Growth
Akin to Industry 4.0, Agriculture 4.0 refers to the next big trends facing the industry, including a greater focus on tools for precision agriculture, as well as agricultural technology ('AgTech').
Propagation of Cuttings Using Eh-powerground Electric Heating Mats
The purpose of using heat specifically in the root zone of cuttings is to induce dormancy in the upper vegetative part and to encourage root growth at the base. The temperature difference between soil and air gives the plant a boost for root formation..
Rugged Computers Increase Efficiency in Precision Agriculture
"The compact format, high performance and great resistance to wear and tear makes the rugged PCs from JLT very suitable to our needs," comments Steketee's R&D Director.
