Wembley is a quiet, peaceful northern Alberta town located 20 km west of Grande Prairie and surrounded by rich farmland. When the town installed a well to supplement the drinking water supply for its 1,400 residents, it learned the new supply source was unusable due to its high iron and manganese content. ...
This added stability in soil structure helps preserve topsoil, a vital component of productive farmland. Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Agricultural soils often emit significant amounts of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. ...
The project with the Thuwal Fishermen’s Association is aiming at transforming wild-catch fishermen into sustainable farmers. The project will start with the construction of 20 modern and sustainable marine cages, operated with solar energy and with waste extractors to protect coral reefs. About 50 fishermen will be trained as of December 2021 to work on the new operations. ...
In this way, soil sensors not only improve irrigation efficiency, but also help reduce water consumption on farmland, protect water resources, and achieve sustainable agriculture.Second, optimize the crop growing environmentThe real-time data provided by soil sensors can help farmers understand the condition of the soil in a timely manner and take necessary measures to optimize ...

” Decisive Farming offered its variable rate fertility services to 1.5 million acres of farmland , and its full range services have been used on nearly 6 million acres acrossWestern Canada. ...
At the same time, bacterial protein and bacterial metabolites are produced in the fermented fertilizer to supplement nutrients. So you can use it in your farmland to improve soil and increase crop yields. Currently, we have been using aerobic fermentation to compost pig manure. ...
CEA also has an advantage in that farmland isn’t needed, so this type of farming can be sited close to their markets – like in warehouses in the middle of urban centers. ...

Farmers can also have access to the field images by just knowing the latitudes and longitudes of the farmland. Apart from this the user can also request for the historical data of the area. ...
According to a new study recently published in Environmental Research Letters, sustainable irrigation could alleviate these risks, increasing supply to provide food for more than a billion additional people using our current farmland without having to convert natural ecosystems into agricultural land. The study’s author, Lorenzo Rosa, a principal investigator in Global ...
It is usually stored in a slurry tank or lagoon before it is applied to farmland as fertiliser. The dangers of working with slurry are well documented, as high amounts of gases can be released very quickly. ...
Optimisation of the composition of animal diets or the use of additives for feedstocks to reduce methane produced by ruminating animals are all options to reduce emissions from livestock farming.5,6 For crops, maintaining good quality soil conditions plays an important role in minimising emissions as building organic carbon content in soil helps increase its sequestration capacity, though the ...
Therefore, we need to follow the idea of developing circular economy, ecological agriculture and comprehensive utilization of resources, combined with the actual situation of pastures, it is recommended to use two-phase anaerobic and two-phase aerobic processes to treat aquaculture wastewater, and the effluent reaches the standard of farmland irrigation and reuse. How to choose ...
Precision agriculture Through a large number of sensors installed in the target area of the farmland, real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, light, gas concentration, soil moisture, electrical conductivity, and other information are summarized into the central control system. ...
From their vantage position, they can see vast swaths of farmland and provide us with more complex information to understand from ground level. ...
A 2.76 million-square-foot facility is being created on 60 acres of land which will utilize environmentally-friendly techniques to help feed a nation with an aging farmer population, declining farmland and a changing climate. The region which was previously known for its booming coal-mining industry that brought power to the nation, is now helping to shape history once again. ...
A sewage treatment and disposal system was constructed in 1989 to meet the dual needs of both sewage treatment for this Omaha community, and a reclaimed water supply for horticultural activities on farmland immediately adjacent to the treatment facility. In conjunction with this original residential development a ninehole golf course was constructed in 1973. ...
Commercial farming is a method where the crops and livestock are raised to sell products in order to make money. To raise commercial farming, a huge amount of capital investment is necessary. Along with that, it needs large scale farms, modern technologies, innovative farm machinery, good irrigation methods, chemical fertilizers etc. to produce a high yield. Commercial farming has the main ...
When you thought the area dump, or landfill, was really a problem, you haven’t seen the mountains of waste in farmland. This waste is generally piled up and able to rot and maybe eventually changed into fertilizer. ...
