Post-harvest management is a critical phase in the agricultural supply chain that can significantly impact the quality and profitability of crops. Efficient handling during this stage ensures that the hard work invested in growing the crops translates into high-quality products for consumers. With increasing global demand for food, optimizing post-harvest practices is crucial than ...
This machinery plays a crucial role in fabricating wire netting used in various applications such as fencing, animal enclosures, agricultural uses, and civil engineering projects like gabions. By automating the process of weaving wires into a hexagonal mesh, the machine enhances productivity and ensures uniformity in the mesh size and quality.Key Parameters of ...
Project The RUSTICA projects wants to provide a technical solution to convert organic residues from the fruit and vegetable sector into novel bio-based fertilizer products of high quality that can address the needs of modern (organic) agriculture. The project’s ambition goes beyond the simple recovery of nutrients, but to ...
The NoAW project is supported by EU-funded Horizon 2020 Framework Program for Research and Innovation (grant agreement No 688338). Project period: 2016-2020 NoAW is an European Horizon 2020 EU research and development project that aims to contribute to the “zero waste economy”. Through the approach of a ...
In more and more agriculture projects, a water reservoir is built to keep water. the water in the reservoir can be used for rice farming to grow up, so the water should be clean and enough. A geomembrane is a very low permeability synthetic membrane liner or barrier used with any geotechnical engineering-related material so about control fluid (or gas) migration ...
ecoinvent of Switzerland launched projects for collection of Indian LCA data with the objective of augmenting their global LCA database with regionalized datasets. FICCI was engaged for collection of data from Indian textiles and agriculture sectors. Under this project, xx datasets from textiles and 25 datasets for agricultural ...
Our ambitious Scaling Positive Agriculture project aims to transform global food systems by maximizing the potential of agriculture as a solution for climate, nature and farmers. The project focuses on three priority pathways where business can provide real solutions: 1) climate positive - shifting agriculture ...
The term “regenerative agriculture” is gaining prominence in climate-related conversations. It dates back to the 1980s when Robert Rodale coined the term, “regenerative organic agriculture” as way to express that organic should be more than simply avoiding chemical inputs. The term has been defined and re-defined by many different authors, sometimes describing very ...
Seaweed in cattle feed to reduce greenhouse gas from burping dairy cows Seaweed could contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The research project Climate Feed will develop seaweed feed supplement with funding from Innovation Fund Denmark. ...
Development and construction firms need these high-quality manufacturers in order to maintain healthy profit margins on the projects. One of the most well-respected names when it comes to crane manufacturers is Aicrane. ...
More than 45% of water used in the agriculture would be lost due to seepage. HDPE canal liner is an affordable solution to prevent water loss of irrigation water by adding an impermeable layer to the edges of the trench. ...
The team received a grant for the project from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and got started in the spring of 2013. ...
As in many parts of the People’s Republic of China, Shanxi Province is experiencing reduced water security for the agriculture sector. Changing climate conditions, including reduced rainfall, are increasing reliance on groundwater resources in the province. ...
City-based agriculture produces 15 to 20 percent of food globally. In the U.S., its benefits go far beyond nutrition. ...

Brown Overnight, China has become a leading world grain importer, set to buy a staggering 22 million tons in the 2013–14 trade year, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture projections. As recently as 2006—just eight years ago—China had a grain surplus and was exporting 10 million tons. ...
Eventually, the practice spread to Niger’s Illéla district through a project run by the International Fund for Agricultural Development. Farmers soon found that they could reap up to 1,500 kilograms of crops per hectare on land that was previously barren. ...
It is in that spirit that the collection of articles this week focuses on just one, but fundamental, aspect of food security: sustainable agriculture. We examine how science and technology (S&T) can increase agricultural productivity within environmental and resource limits. ...
While working on tracking adaptation finance for our Adaptation Finance Accountability Initiative project, we often get the question “What is adaptation finance?” or “What counts as adaptation ...
The macro–engineering project proposal exploits technologies that have the potential to quickly enliven the arid region surrounding Lake Eyre. The plan is focused on biosaline agriculture. The distinctive macro–project components are: Lake Eyre is gradually filled to a higher level by controlling evaporation and by pumping seawater from the ...
