That's what Visser Agro in Wieringerwerf is all about. Arable farmer Sierd Visser grows his seed potatoes and onions in a nature-inclusive and energy-neutral manner. ...
What Is Geocell? Geocell is a three-dimensional honeycomb structure made of polymer materials (such as HDPE, PP) or reinforced synthetic materials connected by ultrasonic welding or other processes. It is formed into a three-dimensional grid after unfolding, filled with materials such as soil, gravel or concrete, and is widely used in foundation reinforcement, slope protection, road base ...
By utilizing agricultural residues or other waste materials, biomass pyrolysis reduces competition for arable land, thus allowing land to remain in natural ecosystems or for food production. 4. ...
” Matt’s investigations are taking place in the Southeast of England where climate change and population increases are creating critical environmental and water industry challenges. 32% of the UK’s land is arable and therefore optimising water regulation within agricultural soils is an important factor in securing future water supplies and environmental ...
Transforming Weather Water data into value-added Information services for sustainable Growth in Africa (TWIGA), is a four-year collaborative project funded under the EU Horizon ...
Until recently, quality control at Vitelia Voeders was mainly performed manually. Although this method met all legal requirements, the efficiency and time-intensity could still be improved. Moreover, the overview was sometimes lost. Since the implementation of BESTMIX® Quality Control, quality control at Vitelia Voeders is now digital and streamlined. Thanks to the integration with ...

With the global population soaring and arable land shrinking, the need for smart farming solutions has never been more critical. ...
We often look at how algae affect humans. Whether by analyzing how toxic blooms harms us or by looking at the health benefits of including edible ones in our diets, countless areas benefit from a good understanding of the different kinds of algae. However, a recent study looks at the issue from a flipped perspective: how do humans affect cyanobacteria? Cyanobacteria are a type of photosynthetic ...
Nowadays, nearly 8% of the world's arable land can no longer be used for crop cultivation due to salt pollution, and more than half of the world's countries are affected. ...
Geomembrane is used for its good anti-seepage effect, and the combination of Geomembrane and geotextile forms a composite Geomembrane. Being punctured by those gravel or sharp objects also prevents the position offset between the geotechnical impermeable membrane and the geotextile. Thus, Geomembrane can solve various leakage problems in hydraulic engineering construction. To see video, please ...
The sector currently faces some challenges, including a shortage of human ability, increased costs for inputs such as water and fertilizer, and a loss of arable land to urban development. Indeed, the overuse of chemical liquids like pesticides can lead to agricultural losses, cost production, and workforce health conditions. ...
A system of bag tank storage is putting a large-scale pig producer a step ahead of legislation that will require slurry stores to be covered by 2027. ...
The anti-seepage effect of the membrane is good or bad, so it is necessary to control the quality to prevent the occurrence of virtual connections and missed connections, to better ensure the quality of the project. 4.1 Project Overview The upstream reservoir handles 12,000 mu of arable land downstream and drinking water for 19,000 people. The upper terrain is undulating and the ...
On the one hand, reducing the world’s reliance on petroleum has obvious benefits. On the other hand, using arable land to create industrial raw materials (rather than food) does pose clear challenges. ...
For example, on every farm at least 3% of arable land will be dedicated to biodiversity and non-productive elements. ...
It is becoming increasingly difficult to spread manure in many countries due to new regulations and a shortened spreading season. The Smits family in the Netherlands was looking for a way to spread digestate more efficiently. We came up with a great solution for this; by pumping manure underground over long distances. This saves time and money and has less impact on the ...
Mike Abram presents in one of his newest Farmers Weekly articles an insightful overview of six companies offering carbon-based payments to arable farmers: Nori Indigo Ag Bayer Soil Capital Soil Heroes and Gentle Farming. ...
In areas with enough soil, the method of compressing 10-20 cm of soil can be used for planting, covering soil to create fields, and expanding the area of arable soil and land. This method has been affirmed since over many years. ...
This is crucial, giving the fact that agriculture is a major driver of biodiversity loss, conversion of forests to arable lands and the sharp rise in the atmospheric concentration of nitrous oxide. ...
Kellogg’s, a Cool Farm Alliance member for many years, has used the Cool Farm Tool to simulate the effect of different changes in management practices and their potential to reduce carbon emissions from agricultural production. In a recent study, Kellogg’s has shown that introducing realistic changes to management practices on farm can make a significant contribution to meeting UK ...
