Acid rain: A lingering threat to ecosystems - The ongoing impact of NOX and SOX on our environment.
The more obvious consequences of acid rain, such as direct harm to land-based and aquatic animal populations and damage to crops, have drastically reduced in regions where serious efforts have been made to address pollution.
New Research Shows U.S. Agriculture Has Potential to be Greenhouse Gas Negative

The report outlines how combining reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from some agricultural activities with increased carbon sequestration in others could achieve GHG-negative agriculture. It also describes the additional research needed to help accomplish this.
NET ZERO AND CROP NUTRITION: WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH?

Climate change, driving extreme weather events and industry commitments to deliver net zero are focusing the attention of the potato supply chain on how to reduce the carbon footprint of the crop.
Rising Waters, Growing Concerns: Safeguarding Farms from Flood Damage

With floods now a part of life for most of the USA, it's undoubtedly time that farms start to consider the measures they have in place to foster resilience and create barriers to those floods causing long-term damage.
Decarbon8 Investment Opportunity Open for AgTech Innovation and Decarbonization Startups
The Decarbon8 Fund announced a new Request for Proposal (RFP) for companies advancing regenerative agriculture solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts.
Could the Energy Crisis Power a Renewable Future for the Indoor Farming Industry?
Price instability has sent shock-waves through the CEA community, with a few even questioning its viability. But we don't think this is the end, far from it. This could be the driving force for changes akin those seen after the 1970's twin oil shocks.
How Technology Can Bolster Farm Resilience to Shifting Temperatures

Photophyll™ Select from CREE LED
Photophyll Select is a new phosphor-converted LED color with blue and green spectral output tuned for horticulture applications. These LEDs are designed to replace the white LEDs that are common in two-channel white + red horticulture luminaires. By maximizing green content and minimizing red content versus standard lighting LEDs, this LED color enables significant enhancements to luminaire cost and performance. Photophyll Select LEDs are the industry's first LEDs to be entirely binned in horticulture metrics, enabling more straightforward spectrum design without confusing translations or conversions. The spectral output of these LEDs is binned into two metrics, both of which are based on the amount of PPF in standard Blue (400-499 nm), Green (500-599 nm) and Red (600-700 nm) bands. The two spectral metrics are percentage of Red PPF content and the ratio of Green to Blue PPF content.
