University of Maine: "#Biochar Stabilizes #PFAS in Soils and Reduces Their Uptake by Crops". Really exciting to have a "shovel ready", economical, "low-tech" treatment for PFAS contaminated agricultural lands. Now lets start plowing millions of cubic yards of biochar into dirty soil instead of plowing more time and money into expensive hypothetical future solutions.

Modified biochar enhances adsorption, transforming contaminants into valuable resources. This approach supports sustainable agriculture and pollution mitigation, though further research is needed to optimize biochar applications and understand substance reuse from wastewater recovery. #Biochar #Pyrolysis #CarbonCapture

An interesting topic about the intersection of 🌽 #precisionfarming and #variablerateapplication of inputs like fertilizer and how the aforementioned can be a part of regenerative agriculture. When we have excess(Meaning more than what the plant needs) fertilizers, e.g Nitrogen fertilizers applied to the soil, then the excess is lost to the atmosphere as Nitrous Oxide trough oxidation and some to oceans through leaching. This will increase the amount of #ghgemissions and increase #algalblooms in waterbodies endangering sea life through oxygen depletion, respectively . Then this means that we need to curate sustainable regenerative and precision farming techniques that will , help in combating climate change, use less resources to grow more and restoring the natural capital in the soil. #climatechange #regenerativeagriculture #climateaction #smallholderfarmers

How does measuring Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) levels help farmers when switching to new (regenerative) cropping systems? 🔍 🌾 In agricultural context, changing the cropping system means to replace one cultivated type or sequence of crops with another. There are different reasons for farmers to choose to change cropping systems, including adapting to environmental conditions or regulations, responding to market demand, or improving productivity and regenerating soil health. To ensure a successful transition between cropping systems, looking at SOC levels is essential. 💡 Soil organic carbon enables soil to be a reservoir of essential nutrients, improves soil structure and water retention, and enhances microbial activity. 🌱 SOC levels serve as an indicator of soil health and can show which actions need to be taken to ensure that the new crop has all the nutrients and conditions it needs in order to thrive. 💻 We at CinSOIL are developing the tool to ease this process by providing a MRV (measuring, reporting, verification) solution that monitors and improves SOC stocks in agricultural fields. By that, we aim to incentivise the transition to regenerative agriculture for bringing value to farmers, businesses and nature. 💫 #RegenerativeCroppingSystems #SustainableAgriculture #SoilOrganicCarbon #SOC #MRV #AgriTech

👀 Have you noticed how perceptions around agricultural by-products are evolving? Years ago, agricultural residues, also known as co-products, were underutilized or even considered mere waste to be disposed of. To combat waste, most of these by-products, still often rich in nutrients, can be revalorized — a solution that addresses both societal and environmental challenges. At Ynsect, we’ve joined the movement. By feeding our insects with these by-products, we transform what was once considered waste into high-quality proteins and natural fertilizers. This process not only reduces waste but also creates a sustainable value chain. 🌱 Let us know in the comments what you think and how you envision the future of agriculture! 💬 #agriculture #sustainability #circularmodel #bioconversion #agtech #industry #ynsect #insect #farming

The Proof is in the productivity! Discover the potential of Controlled Release Fertiliser technology. CRF is advanced fertiliser technology that delivers precise amounts of nutrients to closely match crop needs during the growing cycle could have a major role to play in helping UK agriculture meet its future sustainability goals. 📈 Key Benefits: Achieve a Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) of over 90%, 50% higher than the UK average. Cut ammonia volatilisation by 50% and reduce nutrient leaching by nearly 60% compared to traditional fertilisers. Temperature-based CRFs release optimal daily nutrient quantities, matching crop needs for higher NUE and reduced nutrient losses. Explore the power of CRF technology for enhanced productivity and reduced environmental impact. Read the full blog post for in-depth insights. 🚜 https://loom.ly/dHzWUHQ #SustainableFarming #CRFTechnology #Agriculture

This study addresses #arsenic (As) and #cadmium (Cd) contamination in agricultural soils. It introduces iron-modified #biochar as an effective remediation strategy, emphasizing its ability to decrease As and Cd fractions in diverse soil environments. The findings provide valuable insights for mitigating heavy metal #pollution in paddy fields and advancing #sustainableagriculture. https://lnkd.in/g83t7Pai

One of the most interesting parts about Harpe Bio Herbicides is that we do build the products from plant-based as well as bio-based sources. Meaning we conceivably can put together, and are building out, different networks where a grower could actually grow some of these plants, produce them, send them off to be extracted, to make Harpe Bio Herbicide, and then use that on their field to follow a year. So a true circular economy, which in this day and age of having some really serious supply chain issues becomes even more exciting Learn more at HarpeBio.com #sustainablefarming #cropprotection #agriculture
