Light Interaction With Plants: Reflection, Emission and Absorption
But how do plants interact with light? There are three main types of interaction: absorption, reflection, and emission. What does each of them mean in the context of plants? How do they differ from each other?
UGA awarded $4 million to design farm of the future
The long-term goal of the 4-D Farm is to develop climate-smart production systems leveraging renewable energy, automation, intelligence and human capital to meet the required food and fiber needs of a burgeoning world population.
Is Climate Change Impacting the Growth of Commercial Agriculture?
It is important to remember that technology should be viewed as a tool that can be used to optimize or improve the situation. What it isn't, however, is a free pass to continue implementing unsustainable practices.
Purdue agrivoltaic farming structures and software harvest solar power at lower cost and with minimal impact on crop yield
Innovative modules created at the College of Agriculture and College of Engineering are mounted low and rotate to allow farm equipment to pass
The Role of AI and Machine Learning in Advancing Sustainable Biologicals in Agriculture
AI and machine learning solutions can help identify new microbial strains with beneficial agricultural properties, marking them as good candidates to improve biologicals such as biopesticides, biofertilizers, and biostimulants.
Purdue biology innovation allows the introduction of valuable traits in plants without creating transgenic plants
Patent-pending novel Agrobacterium strains deliver transfer DNA to a plant's nucleus without integrating it into the genome
Plenty Opens World's Most Technologically Advanced Indoor Vertical Farm in Compton
West Coast's only commercial-scale vertical farm will grow up to 4.5M pounds of produce annually to supply partners including Bristol Farms, Walmart and Whole Foods Market
The Sky's the Limit for Vertical Farming at University of Washington
Project IF (Indoor farm) is a small hydroponic farm housed in the basement of an on-campus academic building. This registered student organization (RSO) grows fresh food without the need for soil in hydroponic ZipGrow Towers.
Seafields will develop stationary aquafarms together with MacroCarbon
By baling and storing large quantities of the seaweed at over 4000 metres below sea level in the deep abyssal plain of the Atlantic Ocean, the company aims to trap a gigatonne every year of atmospheric carbon dioxide for thousands of years.
How Cameras Enable Vision in New-age Agricultural Robots
Embedded vision has been transforming agriculture by enabling autonomous mobile robots to 'see' their environment for the purposes of picking & harvesting, plowing, weed & bug detection, etc.
Right to Repair Finally on the Way for Farmers
In April 2023, Colorado became the first state to pass a right-to-repair law for agricultural equipment. Farmers previously had to take their broken tractors, combines and other machinery to a certified service provider or wait days for a servicer to arrive.
Fluence LED Solutions Pave the Way for Optimizing Success in Urban Medicinal Cannabis Grow
Fluence's partnership with Israel-based Trichome proves the viability of growing high-quality medical cannabis product in an efficient, standardized vertical farming model
The Importance of Data and Software in CEA Planning
We have consultants that use Agritecture Designer as part of their deliverables to clients. We have vendors that use AD as a sales tool when speaking with customers, and we even have educators interested in using AD as part of their CEA curriculum.
Decreasing Soil Tillage May Reduce Carbon Release
Decreasing soil tillage can reduce carbon emissions. Reducing these greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture can help combat climate change and lead to a more sustainable agricultural system - and ultimately a more sustainable environment.
How Synthetic Data will Revolutionize Agriculture
Synthetic data is not a replacement for original data, but a secondary source, one that can reduce the time, cost, and effort in obtaining original data. It offers great potential in reducing the time and investment of bringing new agricultural products to market.
