Fields of Expectation | Rethinking Precision Agriculture
Our intent with this blog isn't to diminish the vision of precision agriculture; instead, it's to foster clarity, realism, and optimism to motivate farmers and ag-tech developers to continue pursuing the notion of precision on a global scale.
Enhance Farm Resilience With Agricultural Microgrids
Rural areas nationwide are most susceptible to outdated grid infrastructure and prolonged downtime as utility companies struggle to restore power. Microgrids - localized energy systems - could be a viable solution.
Agritech Is Helping Farmers Adapt to Climate Change and Severe Weather - Here's How
Changes in weather patterns and global temperatures heavily affect how farmers grow necessary crops. However, emerging tools like agritech are helping producers adapt and work with these changes, ensuring humanity's access to food and raw materials.
Retrofitting Existing Machinery with Autonomy
This approach lets farmers deploy multiple autonomous systems for the cost of one traditional machine. That creates flexibility without tying up capital in one massive investment. It's called redundancy.
The GreenBot autonomous system completes successful field trials for sustainable woody crop protection
The robotic vehicle integrates artificial intelligence, autonomous navigation, and machine vision to identify and treat weeds with pinpoint accuracy, reducing the use of herbicides in crops such as olive, citrus, and almond trees
Looye Kwekers achieves summer production levels in winter tomato cultivation with Philips full LED
The young plants of the Piccolo variety arrived in the brand new 8.2-hectare greenhouse in Burgerveen in mid-October 2024. Four weeks later, the Philips GreenPower toplighting force system supplied by Signify was switched on for the first time.
How Supplemental Lighting Contributes to Higher Yields and Profits
Supplemental lighting is a vital part of maximizing yield and profit in Canada's limited growing season. Growers should contact Sollum for solutions.
Beyond the Barcode: Why RFID is the Backbone of the Future Food Chain
In food logistics, RFID isn't a "nice-to-have," it's becoming non-negotiable because food safety should be non-negotiable, too.
DARkWIN Project: Nature and technology together to improve the agriculture of the future
Novagric is collaborating in an innovative research project aimed at developing more climate-resistant crops through natural plant selection.
Scaling Your Grow Operation: Choosing the Right Lighting for High-Volume Production
Scaling your grow operation is a significant milestone that requires careful planning, especially when it comes to selecting the right lighting solutions. High-volume production demands lighting systems that ensure consistent light distribution, energy efficiency, scalability, and durability.
RFS 2.0: New Biofuel Rules and the Road Ahead for Refiners, Farmers and Ethanol Producers
Soybean and corn farmers could see the most encouraging outcome, experiencing a positive price catalyst. Soybean oil (biodiesel feedstock) prices surged on the news of the proposed rule, and corn ethanol programs historically raised corn prices by 12-30%, benefitting farmers
Tractor Performance Data Sets? Keys to Achieving Max Power Utilization
Maria Zepeda shares tractor performance evaluations from the field through the John Deere Operations Center to help farmers understand their tractors' engine power utilization and why "more horsepower" isn't always the answer.
10 Tips for Securing Funding for AgriTech Startups
AgriTech occupies a unique niche in the startup landscape - one that requires external funds sooner than many founders anticipate. By blending traditional funding routes with new fintech tools, founders can move from prototype to pilot without losing momentum or ownership.
History of Plant Breeding Software
We're working on AI models for outlier detection, phenotype prediction, and integrating environmental data like weather or soil conditions. It's still early days, but the potential is huge. We believe AI should assist breeders, not replace them.
How Tomorrow's Farms Depend on 3PL to Feed the Future
While high demands, costs and disruptions affect all industries, agriculture faces some unique challenges. Much of its shipping must use refrigerated containers, and farms require fast turnaround times to prevent spoilage, especially as food waste becomes a bigger issue.
