Is Climate Change Impacting the Growth of Commercial Agriculture?
It is important to remember that technology should be viewed as a tool that can be used to optimize or improve the situation. What it isn't, however, is a free pass to continue implementing unsustainable practices.
The Role of AI and Machine Learning in Advancing Sustainable Biologicals in Agriculture
AI and machine learning solutions can help identify new microbial strains with beneficial agricultural properties, marking them as good candidates to improve biologicals such as biopesticides, biofertilizers, and biostimulants.
The Sky's the Limit for Vertical Farming at University of Washington
Project IF (Indoor farm) is a small hydroponic farm housed in the basement of an on-campus academic building. This registered student organization (RSO) grows fresh food without the need for soil in hydroponic ZipGrow Towers.
How Cameras Enable Vision in New-age Agricultural Robots
Embedded vision has been transforming agriculture by enabling autonomous mobile robots to 'see' their environment for the purposes of picking & harvesting, plowing, weed & bug detection, etc.
The Importance of Data and Software in CEA Planning
We have consultants that use Agritecture Designer as part of their deliverables to clients. We have vendors that use AD as a sales tool when speaking with customers, and we even have educators interested in using AD as part of their CEA curriculum.
How Synthetic Data will Revolutionize Agriculture
Synthetic data is not a replacement for original data, but a secondary source, one that can reduce the time, cost, and effort in obtaining original data. It offers great potential in reducing the time and investment of bringing new agricultural products to market.
Agri-robotics - the Smart Future of Agriculture
Seeds are individually and precisely placed; fruits carefully picked by mechanical grippers; fertilizers and plant products applied in small doses in a targeted manner. These operations require a large number of small electric motors that are both robust and powerful.
XAG Drone Eyes Widespread Use in Vietnam's Banana and Durian Farming
Farm Krong Pack turns to the XAG P100 drone, which can adjust droplet size to different micron level, together with the RTK centimeter-level navigation system to achieve precision spraying. The application of drone helped reduce 80% water, 70% pesticide, and 60% fertilizer.
6 Types of Greenhouse Poly Film Coverings
Every grower strives to produce the best crop they can while keeping production costs to a minimum. The covering overhead is a major component, and when extras are added - anti-condensate, thermal capabilities, or bee compatibility - grower costs start to rise.
Startup Sprouts Multitasking Farm Tool for Organics
Verdant runs on the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform and relies on TAO Toolkit's transfer learning to boost model production by 5x.
Being a Good Steward
Wastewater treatment is serious business. Gearboxes from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS help this small community process up to 15 million gallons of it daily, without fail, with no surprises.
Hydroponic Broccoli - Seed to Harvest Trials
The research and development team is always on the lookout to try various crops that have yet to be grown in a hydroponic Tower. It was a first for our grow team to trial broccoli in the ZipFarm, so we removed all expectations.
How Embedded Vision and Ai Are Revolutionizing Agriculture in India
AI algorithms can then process this data to provide insights that aid in decision-making, improving yields and reducing waste. As a result, agriculture businesses can save costs, increase productivity, and ultimately improve their bottom line.
The Greatest Greenhouse Built in Spain in One Unit
In 2022, the tomato producer has decided to build a new greenhouse module in Murcia of 7.3 hectares in one single unit, which is the largest greenhouse built in Spain in recent years. Looije achieved a 10 increase of tomato production in the new greenhouses.
How Growers Are Future-proofing With Flexibility and Innovation
Although each vertical farm is uniquely built to overcome local challenges and to meet specific goals, the advantages of farming vertically are universally evident: space efficiency, hyper-locality to consumers, and water conservation stand out among a plethora of benefits.
