ETH SOIL - BIO-POWER FOR HEALTHY SOILS’ Post

🌽 Exciting News from This Year’s Harvest! At Exomad Green, we're thrilled to share more successful outcomes from our project, which continues to revolutionize farming in Bolivia. Our latest field test with corn illustrates the significant impact of our Biochar. 📊 Test Overview: We conducted a comparative growth test on four different plots: -Control plot with no treatment. -Plot treated with Biochar only. -Plot treated with Biochar, NPK, and microorganisms. -Plot treated with Biochar, NPK, microorganisms, and N2. 📸 Check Out the Picture: The differences were stark! The most comprehensive treatment (Plot 4) showed a 33% yield increase over the control plot. The corn from this plot was visibly superior in size and quality. Take a close look at the picture to see the impressive visual differences between the plots. These results highlight Biochar's role not just in enhancing crop yield but also in carbon sequestration, boosting food security, and delivering a multitude of co-benefits to our local communities. 👀 Stay Tuned: This is just the beginning! We have more results and insights to share in the coming weeks. Follow us for updates on how Exomad Green is making a difference in agriculture and community well-being. #Agriculture #Innovation #Sustainability #Biochar #FoodSecurity #Bolivia International Biochar Initiative European Biochar Industry Consortium (EBI) Biochar Today ICHAR 🇮🇹 US Biochar Coalition (USBC)

Hello, fellow steward of the planet!!!! 🍻 The #malt production industry plays a crucial role in the global beverage sector, providing the essential raw material for brewing. However, the production of malt generates significant quantities of effluent, presenting challenges for #environmentalmanagement . 🍻Malt #effluent typically contains organic compounds, nutrients, and other pollutants that can be harmful to the environment if discharged without proper treatment. 🍃 #microalgae , which are microscopic photosynthetic organisms, have been explored as a #sustainable and effective solution for #wastewatertreatment in various industries, including the #brewing and malt industries. 🍃Microalgal-based treatment systems are often considered energy-efficient compared to traditional wastewater treatment methods. The natural ability of microalgae to grow using sunlight as an energy source reduces the need for external energy inputs. 🍃Microalgal-based treatment can be integrated into existing wastewater treatment systems or used as a standalone process, depending on the specific requirements of the malt production facility. 🍃Harvested microalgal biomass is rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals, making it a valuable component in animal feed for livestock and aquaculture. It can enhance the nutritional profile of feeds, promoting better growth and health in animals. 🌸 Sustainable process with component of #circulareconomy, as the algal biomass generated is a potential #revenue source. 🍁 #trinityInternational, is a leading innovator in Phycoremediation and its application in wastewater treatment and carbon sequestration with multiple ongoing projects. 🍀 Our commitment to environmental responsibility has borne fruit, through innovative microalgal treatment, we have successfully treated malt effluent, and the results are nothing short of remarkable. 🍀 Now, the floor is open for any questions, thoughts, or reflections from us. 🌐 For more details, please visit www.trinityalgae.com Sukhdev Singh Sapan Anand Charu Dhingra Dr. Deepak Gola Piyush Parkhey #nmcg #csir #cdri #sustainable #iit #cpcb #ngt #environmentalscience REALM algae algaeroadmap .lt AlgaEurope AlgaeProBANOS Dr Brajesh Shrivastava CKIC-DRIIV: Delhi Research Implementation and Innovation Andrea Moro

Did you know that biocontrol and biostimulation solutions have the potential to reduce chemical pesticide use in Europe by 50% by 2030? 🍃 This goal lies at the core of Association Biocontrôle et Biostimulation pour l'Agroécologie (ABBA), a new French initiative set to foster the agricultural landscape. The association brings together key players across the value chain, from pioneering research institutions to visionary agri-food companies. And we are thrilled to announce that Bachar Blal, AlgaEnergy Managing Director for France, has been elected to the board as the Deputy Treasurer of ABBA, representing our commitment to industry progress and sustainability. 🌍 🔝By pooling industry expertise and remarkable leadership, ABBA aims to fast-track innovation, bringing cutting-edge solutions to farmers not just in France, but across the globe. An exciting step forward to a world where growers have access to the most advanced biocontrol and biostimulation technologies, supporting their quest for higher yields, exceptional quality, and flourishing profits. #AlgaEnergy #ABBA #Biostimulation #SustainableAgriculture #Innovation #Collaboration #FutureOfFarming #Microalgae

The FARMŸNG project aims to pioneer a new era of bioeconomy using mealworm proteins. But what exactly is bioeconomy? It's all about sustainable use of renewable resources to create a wide range of eco-friendly products and services. 🔄 The FARMŸNG project aligns with this vision in 5 key ways: 1️⃣ Renewable Resources: We're using mealworms, a sustainable and reproducible source of proteins. 2️⃣ Sustainable Production: Our insect farming methods are eco-friendly, reducing environmental impact. 3️⃣ Product Diversity: Exploring new avenues with mealworm proteins for a variety of sustainable products. 4️⃣ Tackling Societal Challenges: Fighting climate change, ensuring food security, and creating lasting jobs. 5️⃣ Local Impact: Contributing to local economies through insect farming and protein production. #Bioeconomy #Sustainability #Innovation #Mealworms #Impact #VerticalFarm #ProteinAlternatives Bioeconomy For Change / Ÿnsect / ADM / Starfood Holland / CRA-W Centre wallon de Recherches agronomiques / Eurofins / Quantis / PNO Consultants France / Skretting / Virbac / CLIB - Cluster Industrielle Biotechnologie / Zachodniopomorski Klaster Chemiczny / METEX NØØVISTAGO / MG2MIX / Familia Torres / CEA / ULMA Handling Systems / Clextral / COMPO France

Our latest study, "Exploring biochar and Moringa oleifera seed proteins for greywater remediation on small farms," has been published in Bioresource Technology. This research, co-authored with Catherine Ndinda and Mary Njenga,(CIFOR-ICRAF and University of Nairobi), investigates sustainable #greywater treatment in rural #Kenya using locally sourced #biochar and #MoringaOleifera seed proteins. This work, conducted in the Kenyan counties of Kwale and Siaya, utilized batch stirring and filtration methods to treat #greywater, achieving significant reductions in contaminants. This research underscores the efficacy of locally sourced materials in #water management and highlights sustainable, nature-based solutions for the Global South. Kudos to Dmitry Shevela for his exceptional graphics that brought clarity to our findings.

Marine biodiversity, the variety of life in the oceans and seas, is a fundamental component of the three pillars of sustainable development: economy, environment, and society. It is essential for the proper functioning of the planet and provides services that ensure the health, well-being, and prosperity of humanity. The fishing and aquaculture industries generate a huge amount of waste during processing and preservation operations, especially those of tuna. Recovering these by-products is a major economic and environmental challenge for manufacturers seeking to produce new active biomolecules of interest. A new hyaluronic acid was extracted from bluefin tuna's vitreous humour to assess its antioxidant and pharmacological activities. ✔Congratulations to Dr.Sawsen Elhiss for her new article titled "Hyaluronic acid from bluefin tuna by-product: Structural analysis and pharmacological activities" Lobna Jnayah #GreenDay
