Cultivating Sustainable Cannabis in South Africa
Cannabis is well-known to be a resource-intensive crop. From lighting to water to HVAC to soil, there are numerous factors that affect production, morphology, costs, and waste.
Robot Solution for Automating the Lettuce Harvest
In England, agricultural technology and machinery experts are working with IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH (Obersulm, Germany) to develop a robotic solution to automate lettuce harvesting.
Autonomous Agricultural Robots Revolutionize Organic Farming
Up-and-coming companies such as the Dutch Pixelfarming Robotics are developing systems that have the potential to change agriculture long term. One of the keys for the global success: a smart energy system, that is tailored for agricultural applications!
Take a Look Under The Hood of Award Winning Fruit Tech Startup Hectre
Hectre are bringing clever simplicity to the US orchard industry, delivering gains to fruit farmers. The popular NZ fruit tech company were named winners in the global AgTech BreakThrough Awards and are now double finalists in another prestigious awards program.
A Climate Controlled Greenhouse Is the Ideal Setting for Controlled Environment Agriculture
Controlled environment agriculture will likely play a critical role in the future of crop production. Both commercially and locally, operations that use this growing strategy can produce crops year-round, while improving the quality and size of their harvests.
Feeding the World in the 21st Century - AgTech Offers Solutions for Sustainability and Sufficiency
Agriculture is BIG Business. Despite its obvious importance in our lives, most of us are unaware of the actual size of agriculture as a market by itself - currently, a $9 trillion market employing about 27 percent of the world's population.
Building a Distributed Network of Farms and Farmers
A distributed network of farms and farmers means that our technology is able to effect change on a greater scale. In our goal to move farms, not food, we strive to create resiliency in food supply chains and greater food access across the world
How to Create Intelligent Machine Vision Applications
Recognizing organic and multi-variant objects is no easy challenge in machine vision. However, the situation is different when using intelligent cameras such as those of the IDS NXT series.
The Intersection of Data Science and Cannabis: Creating a Sustainable Future
By transitioning to more environmentally sustainable practices, cultivators can reduce waste, address climate change, and improve cannabis sustainability.
Sustainability in Agriculture without Increasing Production Costs
To reap all the benefits of the new wave of innovation, there needs to be collaboration between governments, big corporations, small and large farmers, landowners, and technology companies.
Vision System Simplifies Robotic Fruit Picking - Acro Institute
By placing the camera inside the gripper, the position of the camera is fully controllable. The camera can point its optical axis at the apple, reducing image distortion and eliminating repetitive calibration steps during apple picking.
Designing Skid Steers With a Shorter Preventative Maintenance Checklist
In this blog post, we'll lay out typical preventative maintenance measures for skid steers and talk about how you can use self-lubricating plastic components to design machinery with less maintenance requirements.
Wageningen University, IFA, and Agmatix Collaborate in an Ongoing Project to Analyse Crop Nutrients
This data will be used to improve our understanding of ongoing trends in crop nutrient uptake and removal and make it easier to create decision support systems to determine how to optimize crop production in a sustainable way under changing environmental conditions.
Ellips & Elisam Utilize Deep Learning to Take Fruit Grading Technology to the Next Level
Not only has this system improved the defect grading capabilities, also the capacity of the machine increased significantly. The Elisam GranTorino sorting machine could now easily process 1000 kg/h per lane.
6 Steps to Becoming a Container Farmer
Vertical container farming is on the up. Continuing pressure on UK growers to diversify their crops, rewild their land and use greener growing practices means that utilising the economic and environmental benefits of vertical farming is more popular than ever.
