In the contemporary agricultural landscape, interest in vertical farming is surging. This alternative to conventional methods can allow聽farmer's to cultivate crops in compact spaces, maximizing output without expanding horizontally by instead cultivating crops in vertically stacked layers or inclined surfaces. Increasing land use efficiency is critical as the world grapples with limited arable land,聽especially in urban areas.
Guatemala is now the third-largest palm oil producer after Malaysia and Indonesia (which produce 88% of the global supply) and is often seen as a more sustainable alternative. Today, more than 60% of Guatemala鈥檚 plantations are certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). High certification rates are largely attributed to plantations owned by a handful of producers, making it easier to certify large chunks of the industry, according to RSPO.

In the not-so-far-off future, artificial intelligence could help farmers analyze data to make decisions and improve their outputs.
鈥淭he bottleneck right now is that farmers have data but don鈥檛 necessarily know what it means. They often need a specialist to figure it out,鈥� says Felippe Karp, a PhD candidate in 海角社区's Bioresource Engineering department and member of the聽Precision Agriculture and Sensor Systems (PASS) research team led by Professor Viacheslav Adamchuk.
Millet, once a staple in Indian cooking and agriculture before being superseded by rice, is at the centre of a massive promotional campaign launched by the Indian government.
The healthy and hardy cereal, which thrives in arid and difficult conditions in which other crops cannot survive and requires less water, is being touted as a "superfood" that could force a more nutritious diet on India's population, and also help mitigate the devastating effects of climate change on the South Asian country.
Located on Macdonald Campus, many would mistake the Brace Water Centre's unassuming office for a private residence. Yet looks can be deceiving 鈥� for not only does the Centre boast an extraordinary history, it鈥檚 also associated with some of the University鈥檚 most exciting scientific researchers.
Artificial intelligence, automation and robotics are reshaping many parts of the economy, and experts say the meat-processing sector could benefit from improved technology to overcome labour shortages, improve food safety and remain competitive against alternatives like plant-based proteins.
Change has been slow, but companies are making strides, such as using robotics to transport heavy animal carcasses within a facility, to stack and move boxes for delivery聽and to optimize transportation loads to reduce the amount of trucking.聽
It is impossible to imagine modern agriculture without plastics鈥�12 million tons are used every year. But what about the environmental consequences? An international team of authors, including 海角社区 Department of Bioresource Engineering Professor Jan Franklin Adamowski and Department of Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry Associate Professor and Chair聽St茅phane Bayen, addresses this question in a recent study.

The record-setting wildfires that ripped through Quebec this summer were made more likely and more intense by human-caused climate change, according to聽聽conducted by 16 researchers within the聽World Weather Attribution group, from universities and meteorological agencies in Canada, the Netherlands, the U.K. and the U.S.
Modernization of agriculture is imperative for food production, Vijaya Raghavan, Distinguished James 海角社区 Professor from Canada, said on Tuesday while inaugurating the Eighth Agricultural Graduate Students鈥� Conference at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University.
Scientists and agricultural students have a significant role to play in achieving integrated food production, Prof. Vijaya Raghavan emphasized.
The wildfires that ravaged Canada this summer have some experts calling for a more aggressive approach than the country has applied in the past.聽
This year, nearly 30 million acres have burned across Canada. In聽eastern provinces such as Quebec, where聽blazes are less common, wildfire agencies that are equipped to fight fewer and smaller fires were largely unprepared for the circumstances.
