Forever Green Farms California

With Imperial County’s high unemployment rate hovering near 16%, Cooper hopes to transform the agricultural workforce through training and sustainable practices. He warns of trends of Artificial Intelligence and machinery replacing humans in the sector, stating, ”The current farm industry or the farm worker industry, the way that we know it, is being rapidly eliminated by ag technology and machinery. So the current workforce will be eliminated in the next 15 to 30 years.” […]

Trade War Vertical Farming

Since Trump’s 25 per cent tariffs were put into place in February, the B.C. Centre for Agritech Innovation (BCCAI) has continued to invest millions into agriculture technology projects. “This is something that the government did a really good job in, like, enabling small farmers to actually build something that will be beneficial for them and for the consumers,” said Dhaliwal.  […]

Hydroponics Research Hyperspectral Analysis

Existing methods of observing plant roots are often limited by their inability to monitor the physiological information of root system under actual agricultural conditions. To address this limitation, we developed a novel method that enables nonlaboratory monitoring of the growth characteristics of crop root systems. This study explored the application of hyperspectral imaging technology to analyze the dynamic growth and aging of root systems throughout the cultivation period, specifically focusing on spinach […]

Zero Waste Aquaponics?

That’s where this new research steps in: coupled aquaponics are closed loop systems that recycle much of the fish effluent rather than reusing it outside of the aquaponic system. Where typically the fish solid waste is disposed of, Gross managed to treat it by anaerobic digestion and recover energy and nutrients into the system to form a near zero waste unit. This is the path to resolving the ups and downs and headaches of balancing the nutrient load in the system and what the plants need as they grow. […]
