Each unit can yield approximately 3,000 pounds of fresh produce per year—enough to feed up to 40 people. These mobile farms will cut water usage by up to 90% and deliver affordable vegetables to consumers and businesses. […]
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.” […]
Scientists reveal futuristic farming technique that may solve two global problems at once: ‘Can revolutionize food production’ Future Controlled Environment Agriculture | Calvin Coffee | IMAGE: Scientists reveal futuristic farming technique that may solve two […]
The farms are part of Auburn’s FoodU program, an innovative sustainability program to source hyper-local foods grown by students trained in high-tech production methods. Four of the six containers are used to grow produce using hydroponic technology, while one of the new containers serves as a vertical propagation unit. […]
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. […]
a hydroponics food production program they’re temporarily calling Sioux Valley Grocer — promises to improve food production on the reserve by addressing food insecurity and providing residents with healthier food options. […]
What’s happening inside a lab at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville offers a resilient alternative to food supply issues, while educating students at the same time. The hydroponics lab, located in Glenview Commons, is a shining example of how new measures can be implemented to meet the need for sustainable, local food production. The student-run facility which opened in 2019, serves as a living classroom where they can explore innovative farming methods and contribute to the future of agriculture. […]
GrowDirector Expands AI Suite with Automated Climate Analytics Delivered via Email for Commercial Agriculture May 1, 2025 – GrowDirector, a key player in agricultural automation technology, today announced a significant enhancement to its smart farming […]
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 […]
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. […]
