"These approaches allow for deeper exploration of plant traits, from basic morphology to DNA-level analysis, ultimately accelerating crop improvement and supporting food security initiatives." Lifeasible’s integrated solutions make it possible to analyze everything from observable plant traits to microscopic genetic variations, ensuring comprehensive ...
Executive Summary The global agrochemicals market is poised for significant growth in 2024, driven by increasing food demand due to population growth and the rising consumption of healthier diets. ...
Sustainable agriculture is increasingly recognized as a critical component in addressing the global challenges of climate change, food security, and environmental degradation. One innovative solution gaining traction in this field is the biochar machine, which plays a pivotal role in producing biochar — a stable form of carbon made from organic materials. ...
By influencing crop yield and resilience, research into plant hormones has become vital for improving agricultural practices and ensuring food security. Given the low concentrations of plant hormones—often in the range of 0.1 to 50 ng/g of fresh weight—accurate detection and quantification are challenging. ...
With increased awareness, investment in biochar technologies, and collaborative efforts, developing nations can unlock biochar's full potential, ensuring food security and environmental resilience for future ...
Despite 70% of available freshwater being dedicated to this sector, climate change, growing demand, and poor management have jeopardized the availability of this resource, directly affecting global food security. Agriculture cannot exist without water. Every fruit, vegetable, and grain of rice or wheat we consume has required water at some stage of its ...
The project has as its overall aim to increase climate resilient agricultural productivity and food security, with a specific objective to increase the water productivity and profitability of smallholder farmers in Mozambique, prioritizing small (family sector) farmers to increase food and nutritional security. ...
All of them pose a major threat to global food and energy security. Synthetic biology can provide tools to address many of these challenges and the industry is likely to be a major beneficiary of the fast-evolving global bioeconomy. ...
This Pisys customer – a well-known Japanese engineering firm – introduced our cloud-based Permit to Work system on a $985.7 million construction project of a new fertiliser plant in the Caspian Region, which is managed remotely from Japan. The whole construction project benefits from increased safety, better communication across different languages and reduced waiting times for ...
All of them pose a major threat to global food and energy security. Synthetic biology can provide tools to address many of these challenges and the industry is likely to be a major beneficiary of the fast-evolving global bioeconomy. ...
Pests and diseases threaten global food security, with the UN estimating that up to 40% of crops are lost annually. ...
As global populations continue to rise, the demand for food production has never been greater. Traditional farming methods, once sufficient, are now struggling to meet the demands of modern food production. New-age techniques in crop management provide innovative methods and technologies designed to maximize crop yield, enhance sustainability, and ensure ...

At the forefront of this revolution are intelligent soil sensors, small, sophisticated devices that are transforming the way we grow our food. Understanding Intelligent Soil Sensors Imagine a tiny, tireless worker buried deep within the soil, constantly measuring and monitoring the environment. ...
Though it is the foundation of life, soil constitutes only a thin layer of material on the surface of our planet. It provides the necessary weathered minerals, organic materials, air, and water, which are the most precious resources for all living creatures. Plants find life in soil, as it provides a rooting medium and nutrient source for plants to grow. Through healthy plants, ...
Incorporating soil EC meters into soil management strategies is, therefore, crucial for sustainable agriculture and ensuring food security in a world with increasing population and limited resources. ...
