Kraków, Poland – The growing drive to replace petrochemical-derived substrates with biobased alternatives has led to a wide range of potential crop and agricultural waste sources being investigated. Now, a group at the Cracow University of Technology has been investigating another potential source…

🥉 Our third most popular #DrySeasonShorts video in 2024 was "How polymers contribute to sodic soil crop yields". Principal Research Scientist at the Department of Primary Industries & Regional Development, David Hall, works on improving the efficiency of rainfall usage in cropping systems. In this video, David explains how biodegradable polymers can help increase yields on sodic soils.

🌱Harnessing Biotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture🌱 Did you know phosphate is a vital nutrient for plant growth, yet much of it remains unavailable in soil? This fascinating approach showcases how **phosphate-solubilizing bacteria** are discovered, engineered, and deployed to improve phosphate availability for crops. 🔬 **Steps to Success**: 1️⃣ Identify phosphate-solubilizing pathways from the environment using **functional genomics**. 2️⃣ Engineer plant-associated bacteria, like *Pseudomonas fluorescens*, to enhance their efficiency. 3️⃣ Boost plant health and productivity through natural and sustainable means! This breakthrough demonstrates how innovation in synthetic biology can contribute to solving global agricultural challenges while promoting eco-friendly farming practices. Let’s continue to explore and innovate for a greener future! 🌍 #Biotechnology #Agriculture #Sustainability #SyntheticBiology #PlantScience #Innovation

Agrowaste is valuable. When heated, many types form substances that can clean the water, soil and air, and can be also be used to make biomaterials for landscaping or construction. Researchers are investigating which agrowastes have the most environmental impact, in which applications. #agro #waste #water #restore #regenerative #biodesign #innovation #biomaterials #circular Here is an article explaining this further: https://lnkd.in/dnyh2EVB

These chambers, also known as plant growth rooms or phytotrons, allow researchers, scientists, and agriculturists to manipulate and regulate a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, photoperiod (light exposure duration), and CO2 concentration.

Wait, have you ever wondered what agricultural films are made of? You know the ones on a strawberry field? What if they could do more than just help crops grow? 🍓 The new, nature-driven materials in these films are here and playing a crucial role in supporting soil health, ecosystems and our future. Certified soil-biodegradable mulch films are game changer! They break down naturally in the soil, reducing microplastic pollution and eliminating the need for costly retrieval or recycling systems. 🌿 By including biobased materials like Fibenol's #EPD-verified #LIGNOVA lignin, we are pushing sustainability further. A successful trial in Estonia, #Tartu, the European culture capital 2024, using LIGNOVA™ + PBAT #Ecoflex masterbatch biowaste collection bags showcased the potential of lignin-based innovations.  This bio-based material not only enhances the environmental benefits of agricultural films but also supports healthier soils. Together, we could transform farming for a better, more sustainable future. Let’s connect and discuss how we together can make it happen sooner and make this AI/picture a reality, it struggled with it a bit! 🌿 #FiberBeyondOil #Lignova #Biomaterials #AgriculturalFilms #SustainableAgriculture #BioBased #CircularEconomy #Biocomposites

What do you see in this Petri dish? 🧫 These are #microorganisms that are part of one of the experiments conducted by our R&D colleagues. At Symborg, we research microorganisms that, due to their characteristics, can help farmers maximize crop yield with minimal resources. As a result, we develop 100% natural solutions that boost plant productivity and help improve the quality of agricultural soils sustainably and efficiently. 🌱 Are you joining the agriculture of the future?
