📢Akuo will be present in Madrid for the #AgrivoltaicsIFE! In occasion of this European summit of the agri-photovoltaic industry, Elise Garesse, Agricultural Project Manager, will be speaking at the round table: Best practice applications and shared experience on how chickens, cows and other animals profit from AgriVoltaics. A great occasion for us to share our vision of agrivoltaics as a key element to create positive synergies between agricultural and energy production, and use our more than 15 years of experience on the field to share best practice. We know that anticipation and adaptability are crucial, this is why we are committed to co-constructing the project, with a team of agricultural engineers dedicated, so that it adapts specifically to the needs of farmers. #AgriVoltaicsIFE Conexio-PSE #Agrivoltaics #EnergyTransition

🍃 Urgent Innovation Needed in the #Biopesticide Sector to Align with #Farmers’ Needs 🍃 The rising need for #sustainable #farming practices has prompted farmers to seek #environmentally friendly methods to #safeguard their #crops and significantly enhance productivity. Nevertheless, the biopesticide sector finds itself at a juncture where advancements in innovation are essential to effectively cater to modern-day agricultural demands by enhancing product efficiency and ensuring the widespread availability of biopesticides. Farmers should have access to efficient and environmentally friendly tools to protect the environment and #human #health while sustainably maintaining #biodiversity. Let's remove obstacles to acceptance and support farmers by promoting biocontrol technologies over chemical options while maintaining consistent outcomes for their success. Innovation isn't merely a choice—it's a responsibility we must embrace wholeheartedly as we work together to mould the future of eco-agriculture practices and drive the transformative shift necessary in the industry to pave the way for a brighter tomorrow in farming. Farmers prioritize using eco-farming methods such as biopesticides, #biocontrol, and sustainable solutions to drive agriculture innovation and promote sustainability in the #industry. They embrace #AgTech advancements that prioritize the environment and sustainable practices. https://lnkd.in/dKsYKSHR

Interesting and very essential requirement in Agri Input sector, every biological sector company working on majorly Bio stimulants, growth promoter etc. because of high margin, which is non essential for farmer need, farmer needs to control their pest which day by day getting difficult due higher resistance developed in pest, and which is need to be solve, and if any company pay attention in this part, my thoughts they will get a major stake in sector

Haha I didn't realize that a classmate of mine would end up at Oishii, which is running a vertical indoor strawberry farm out of the tri-state area. Quite a few years ago I had started researching sustainability related to indoor farming and what I learned is that in a controlled environment where you can tune water and nutrient flow, as well as LED lighting for lumens or wavelength or angle of incidence, you could optimize on end crop characteristics. However using electricity from the grid of course could lead to more GHG emissions, even if LEDs used less kWh than an old-school incandescents/fluorescents with less color tuning. However, nowadays you can do renewable electricity offtake to power lighting and water pumping so that your indoor farm moves towards net-zero. Furthermore, one good thing about indoor farming is easier to control against pests so no need for pesticides. The books from Japanese professors that specialized in this topic are fascinating as they not only look at strawberries but effects of multi variables across an array of different tasty veggies and fruits. Furthermore the nexus of AI in looking at end results based on input parameters is also quite interesting (the research even covered things like location of exposed light placement of certain wavelength on final morphology). Exciting times when your solar pv offtake was actually for growing delicious strawberries and in the future powering AI to increase yields (sees a strawberry growing off to side so robot repositions angle of lighting to get to optimal surface area exposure), minimize nutrient loading (conserve resources) and decrease need for pesticides. Who said the concrete jungle in the city can't be for innovative farming ??? 😄😆😂🤣

“The future doesn’t just happen. We all create it “. Farming has significantly evolved throughout the last 100 years, driven by innovation, technology and digitalization. Meanwhile, European farmers are facing increasing challenges such as higher customer demands, climate change, volatile agricultural commodity prices and farming inputs, regulatory changes, etc. Since 2002, the BASF FarmNetwork has been connecting growers across Europe. At our recent meeting that took place in Germany, over 60 participants from 14 European countries - including farmers, entrepreneurs, and BASF Agricultural Solutions colleagues - came together. We discussed those common challenges and actionable sustainable practices such as:  - Carbon reduction and climate resilience strategies   - Benefits of Digitalization and precision farming   - Enhancing understanding and benefits of Biodiversity for Agriculture I truly appreciated the open, active and constructive discussions, showcasing the incredible power of customer collaboration to drive sustainable agriculture. Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed! #SustainableAg #BASFinAg #ForTheLoveOfFarming 

This is huge news, the culmination of a massive amount of hard work and rigour. A testament to the power of soil and the value farmers can add in the midst the climate crisis. The potential of the soil used to grow food is one of the biggest levers we have available for carbon capture and this is the big green tick we have been waiting for. https://lnkd.in/eQhgbyk7
