Horizon Ag-Products’ Post

🎉 Exciting result from ForestPaths! ForestPaths member Amelie Müller from VITO, in collaboration with Timo Diepers from RWTH Aachen University, Arthur Jakobs from PSI Paul Scherrer Institut and other researchers, have developed bw_timex, an innovative open-source Python tool for time-explicit Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This tool enhances environmental impact assessments by incorporating the timing of processes, emissions and technological changes over time. Unlike conventional LCA methods that assess product systems at a single point in time, bw_timex tracks the temporal dynamics of production systems and supply chains. For instance, it considers that a product’s end-of-life treatment might occur decades after its production and adjusts for technological advancements like the increasing share of renewable energy. By doing so, the tool provides a more accurate and dynamic assessment of environmental impacts. Discover how bw_timex can enhance your environmental impact assessments and ensure your analyses reflect the true temporal dynamics of production and emissions here: https://lnkd.in/dk3Qsjpi #LCA #sustainability #forestry #ForestPaths #climateaction

Maps and other visual aids are excellent tools for conveying important scientific findings in a way that is accessible to most audiences. Take, for example, the graphic below, which uses data from a recent publication on a comprehensive global geo-referenced dataset providing area information for 173 crops for the year 2020, to show the extent to which forests and agriculture overlap. Sharing this information without text also helps to remove potential bias and allows viewers to draw their own conclusions on the subject.

New blog post from ADAPT’s LegumeLegacy highlights the #LegacyNet conference that took place in March of this year in Dublin, Ireland. At the conference, participants had the chance to undergo training on Diversity-Interactions (#DI) models. These models are pivotal in dissecting outcomes from both #LegacyNet and #LegumeLegacy experiments. DI models help isolate factors like species-specific effects and interactions, accounting for species richness, composition, and plant community proportions. This approach allows for a comprehensive exploration of the intricate relationship between #biodiversity and #ecosystem function responses.

Agriculture + Photovoltaics = Agrivoltaics. Remember that term. It can save 20% on water, and provide shade to animals and even wildlife. It may even be the way we install all solar in the future. Check out this episode in my remote van life work summer interview series. https://lnkd.in/g2Tewvue

Take a look Inside Innovation! 🔍🚀 I’m always curious about the latest and greatest in science and technology. Check out the first episode of the new #TeamBayer video series which takes a deeper dive into some of the groundbreaking innovations first unveiled at the Crop Science Innovation Summit last June. Hear from Jeremy Williams, Amanda McClerren, and Bob Reiter what farming will look like in the not-so-distant future. This first episode takes you to North America and into the world of the Preceon Smart Corn System. Here are some more resources about the farms of the future: https://lnkd.in/gNJwRrg5 What do you think will be the most game-changing technology in farming over the next decade? Let me know in the comments. 💡🌱 #CSInnovationSummit #AgInnovation #DigitalFarming #AgTech

#Applications in #thermalremotesensing 💻 are one of the subjects that we get the most questions about. We try to address the questions step-by-step and we just published a #ThermalLens episode on use of thermal remote sensing in #agriculture 🌽 🥕 Rachana Mamidi and I interview Charlie Siggs, a commercial agronomist at constellr on how can thermal data be used to improve sustainability in agricultural production. Please let us know what you think! Or what other questions do you have to address? https://lnkd.in/d_keu8aF

With the European Commission rules on certifying carbon removals, the Commission aims to develop regulation to monitor, report and verify the authenticity of these removals. This policy is a step towards integrating #carbonremoval into climate policies. Earth Observation #eo is providing operational solutions which are used for carbon #reduction and carbon practices. Integrating the EO capabilities in this policy area will contribute to the efficiency of the carbon removal challenges and its applied methodologies. ➡ Join us for the Breakout Session at the 1st European Carbon Farming Summit!
