Pest Control in Intensive Agriculture Pest control in intensive agriculture is all about managing those pesky bugs and creatures that want to eat the crops before we do. In places where a lot of food is grown in a small area, keeping pests away is a big deal. Farmers use different tricks to keep their plants safe. Some might use special chemicals to scare off the bugs, while others might introduce friendly bugs that eat the harmful ones. There are also cool gadgets and tech solutions that can spot pests early on. The goal is to protect the crops so we can have plenty of food without harming the environment too much. It's like a big, outdoor game of keeping the unwanted guests away from a giant garden party! #PestControl #IntensiveFarming #EcoFriendly #SustainableAgriculture #CropProtection #FarmTech #HealthyHarvest

I completed the 'Crop Pest Diagnosis' course from CABI Academy a year ago. The course deepened my understanding of identifying, managing, and preventing crop pests, which is crucial for maintaining crop health and maximizing yield while also considering soil and environmental health.

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay 🌱🌍 This year's UNEP campaign focuses on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience. As a company that was founded on the principles of championing local fresh produce supply, farmers have always been one of, if not, THE most important element of our product, even as our categories have expanded to different sectors of agriculture. Farmers are stewards of the soil, they work tirelessly day in and day out to care for the soil that feeds our families. Name one meal where a farmer wouldn't have had involvement. Without their care and dedication, there would be no food. Crop rotation, livestock rotation, water mapping, and prioritising hedgerows are all deep-rooted practices within farming, and we're happy to see more spotlights being placed on the good farmers do. #nofarmersnofood #generationrestoration #localsupply #localbusiness #foodservice #foodservicesupply #hospitality #sustainability

Recently, a lot of us have adopted a controlled environment(green house) farming which has helped us to produce crops all year round with little attack of pests on our crop. Most of the time we make choices based on the size of the fruit and market acceptability. we have neglected climate compatibility, growth habits, disease resistance and the kind of environment (controlled or uncontrolled). There are many varieties that produce best in a controlled environment. If you grow such a variety in an uncontrolled environment, growth yield will drastically reduce. Choice wisely. Happy new month. Have a fruitful month. #agriculturalhumanresource #humancapacitybuilding #greenhousefarming #foodculture

What do you think is the biggest challenge facing farmers today? In my view, one of the most significant challenges is the unpredictability of climate change. Farmers are constantly battling against extreme weather conditions, which affect crop yields and livestock. Additionally, the rising cost of farming inputs and the lack of access to modern technology and sustainable practices make it even harder for farmers to thrive. What do you think?

Healthy plants = Food security + Climate resilience Plants are our greatest allies in the fight against climate change? They absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, and support biodiversity. Let's celebrate the power of plants and take action to defend our environment. UN Environment Programme 🙌
- Healthy plants keep food secure and protect crops - Safe trading ensures diverse and healthy food supplies - Global standards and smart pest control methods stop pests and supports sustainable farming This #PlantHealthDay, see guidance from FAO on how to get involved: https://lnkd.in/dT-dnV4t

Ever wondered how rainwater could benefit your farm? It’s more useful than you might think. As farmers, we know how important water is for our crops. Rainwater harvesting is a simple way to collect and store rain for future use. It’s as easy as setting up barrels or tanks to catch the rain from your roof. This stored water can be used to irrigate your crops, water your livestock, or even clean equipment. Benefits? Lower water bills, healthier crops, and drought protection. Plus, it's great for the environment. Why let rainwater go to waste? Start harvesting it today! #greenpillars #water #sustainablefarming #feedthenation #sustainability #nature #conservation #green #ecofriendly
