Scientists are attempting to develop a revolutionary means of food production called electro-agriculture that circumvents the traditional mode of photosynthesis. It produces acetate using sun power, and plants can be grown without light. Land use is cut down an astonishing 94% in comparison to traditional farming. This breakthrough is transformative for agriculture since it decreases immensely the need for such deforestation and pesticides for farming activities thus recovering the environment. It requires little area and can open new possibilities for sustainable farming in areas that are not naturally easy for traditional agriculture. Under its developmental phase, promising results show from organisms like mushrooms and algae, now giving a glimpse of having potential for commercialization. So, with progressing research, this method may lead to a more resilient and environment-friendly approach towards food production. . . . #ElectroAgriculture #SustainableFarming #FoodInnovation #EnvironmentalRestoration #AgricultureTech #FutureOfFood #CleanEnergy #EcoFriendlyFarming #InnovativeAgriculture #GreenTechnology #Tribunetrends

Un nouveau marché se dessine-t-il dans un avenir rapproché pour les #huilesessentielles? #agriculture #durabilité #sustainability #Cedarome https://lnkd.in/effqKTf4 Article summary in English: Researchers at the University of Liège are developing natural herbicides and fungicides using #essentialoils as an alternative to controversial chemicals like glyphosate. APEO, a spin-off company, and other researchers are working on eco-friendly solutions for agriculture, with promising results. These products might be available as early as 2026-2027, offering a healthier, sustainable option for crop protection.

The increasing global demand for crops and food has led to a rise in the use of pesticides, posing significant health and environmental risks. However, innovations are emerging to reduce pesticide use while maintaining agricultural productivity Israeli innovations highlight a shift towards more sustainable agricultural practices, reducing reliance on harmful pesticides while ensuring crop health and productivity. The impact of these Israeli companies on the global agricultural sector is profound. Notable companies in the field include: BioBee Sde Eliyahu Ltd., Alta Innovation, DriftSense, Palm Robotics, BotanoHealth, Greeneye Technology, Fungit Biosolutions, Better Leaf Details at: https://lnkd.in/gxxQeJGB Chen Peretz Luan Nguyen Trang Minh Nghiem #Israel #Vietnam #innovation #agriculture #pesticide #israelinvietnam #israeltrade #IsraeliEconomicTradeVietnam

I share work developed during my PhD recently presented at the 2nd International Online Conference on Agriculture Managing agricultural pests is a constant challenge, especially with Spodoptera littoralis causing significant damage. This study presented the ethanolic extract of Achyrocline satureioides as a promising biological control. This South American plant has effective insecticidal properties, reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides and promoting more sustainable agriculture. The extract is biodegradable and has a low environmental impact, benefiting farmers, ecosystems, and consumers. https://lnkd.in/dX_2tYt5 #SustainableAgriculture #AgriculturalInnovation #pestcontrol

🌱 The secret to sustainable agriculture lies beneath our feet—literally. Biofertilizers, developed through advanced biotechnology, are transforming the way we cultivate crops. By replacing traditional chemical fertilizers, our biofertilizers not only enhance soil health but also reduce environmental impact. At Empower Capital, we’re leading the charge in sustainable farming. Ready to dig deeper into the science of soil?

Hello Growtech Friends! 🌿 Did you know the tide is turning in global agribusiness towards sustainable farming? While pesticides and chemical fertilizers have their perks, their environmental and health impacts can't be ignored. Deutsche-Welle's 2022 research highlights a concerning trend: agricultural workers in Asia are facing increasing risks, with 255 cases of poisoning per million annually. Globally, there's a 44% chance of agricultural workers suffering from poisoning at least once a year, not to mention the adverse effects on our vital biodiversity, including bees and birds. But here's a silver lining: the agricultural sector is awakening to the urgency of sustainability. More and more farmers are shifting towards organic practices, minimizing the use of harmful chemicals to protect our soil and ecosystems. The focus is now on developing farming systems that are not only efficient but also friendly to our planet. Let’s rally together for this green revolution at Growtech 2024! Support sustainable agriculture for a healthier planet and future. 🌍 - #GrowtechJKT2024 #JakartaGrowtech #AgInnovationID #IndonesiaAgtech #GrowSEAforSoutheastAsia #AgriInnovation #SustainableFarming #SmartAgriculture #AgriTechRevolution #FutureOfFarming #EcoFriendlyAgri #AgriBusinessGrowth #FarmingForTheFuture #GreenAgriculture #farmtotable #agriculture #agribusiness #farmlife #farmer #sustainablefarming

Tomato seed treatment for organic agriculture 🍅 Harmful plant pathogens can originate from infected seeds. Seed treatment aims at reducing these seed-borne pathogens. In organic farming, this cannot be done with chemical solutions. Products based on microbial consortia (MCs) and natural compounds (NCs) are currently being studied as sustainable alternative. 👉Learn more about organic seed treatment methods: https://lnkd.in/gdNVqtMS Università di Catania #organictomato #seedtreatment #naturalcompounds #plantpathogens #organicfarming #sustainability

🌾🚜🌽Inefficient nitrogen use in #agriculture is wreaking havoc on #nature. ✒️📝In this editorial published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, CREAF researcher Estela Romero concludes that while the massive use of nitrogen in agriculture fertilizers boosts yields, inefficient systems mean we lose around 80% of #nitrogen outputs. This entails a long list of negative impacts, from eutrophication to #soil acidification and increased greenhouse gas emissions.
