In today’s highly regulated industries like food and beverage storage and agriculture, maintaining optimal humidity control is critical to ensuring product quality, extending shelf life, and maximizing operational efficiency. The Industrial Applications of Membrane Humidifier – Food and Beverage Storage, Agriculture and Vertical Farming Industry rely heavily on precise humidification ...
In 1974, Frans and José Damen founded Tree nursery Damen. Back then, it was still located in Wuustwezel. They started with open field cultivation. Five years later, after moving to Meer, the couple switched to growing plants and trees in pots. Today, son Patrick Damen focuses on growing a wide range of trees, ornamental shrubs and grasses, together with his team. Patrick Damen: ‘We ...
The trick is maintaining a balance between food production and water security Changes in rainfall patterns due to climate change can hamper food production, posing a risk to food security worldwide unless production is expanded. According to a new study recently published in Environmental Research Letters, sustainable irrigation could alleviate these risks, increasing supply to provide food for ...
Yet, everything must be completed at one time. Otherwise, it will cause crop failure, and plantation conditions issue will be more complex. ...
Today, this advanced technology improves the innovative farming method to support efficient, sustainable, and profitable crop production. And so, it can improve yield, increase profits, cost-saving, reduce crop failure with accurate data analysis, and human resource tackle limitation solutions. ...
This precipitation will instantly clog emitter pathways and, will cause premature death to the subsurface irrigation system and of course, lead to crop failure. Studies at the Center for Irrigation Technology Tape products were first developed as a single season product. At the end of the crop year, the tape was gathered from the fields and ...
Just as it may take a village to raise a child, it frequently takes a team to feed the village. With global population growing and expected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, planning for more effective and efficient ways to produce the needed food is imperative. Some suggest that the planet's producers already have the means to supply the necessary food, and that ancillary issues managing waste ...

For a while it makes the large number of consumers much better off—we have had crop failures in the United States but we have never had a famine—farmers have often seen the prices they receive fall well below their cost of production for repeated and extended periods of time. ...
To illustrate, the New York Times recently ran a story, “Report Says a Crop Subsidy Cap Could Save Millions.” The piece discusses a new U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report that investigated the costs and distributive effects of the federal insurance program that protects farmers against crop failure and low market ...
A major vegetable grower in Lantokia, Fiji, using soilless culture systems began to trial Amnite A-100. His crops consisted principally of lettuce, tomatoes, capsicums, cucumbers, zucchinis and melons. ...
Results are summarized for the first 15 yr of an eight-site, long-term experimental network in China designed to assess the sustainability of cropping systems in environments representing 70% of Chinese cropland. Systems were wheat–maize double cropping (two crops per year) at four sites, wheat–rice double cropping, rice-based ...
Over the past half-century grain prices have spiked from time to time because of weather-related events, such as the 1972 Soviet crop failure that led to a doubling of world wheat, rice, and corn prices. ...
Without vegetation, top soil was eliminated due to winds, which led to poor conditions and crop failure. Without trees, there were no materials to build boats and sail off the island. ...
