Synopsis: 2.0.. agro: Farming:

Yet most fish farming has evolved not beyond the low-tech cages and seaweed-draped lines anchored in shallow seas by ancient peoples like the Tankas.

But the drawbacks of current fish farming has created opportunities for technology like the floating"drifter pens  pioneered by Kampachi Farms.

 Some academics and sustainable farming advocates see this type of farming as one more push toward industrialising food production and making more farmers dependent on agribusiness.

This is exactly the premise that is driving many of the advances in farming today. To understand agribusiness in the future,

Vertical Farmingthe precision we use to monitor consumer demand will translate into ultra-precise farming operations in highly controlled environments.

Several experimental vertical farming projects like Dr. Dickson Despommiers at Columbia University are in various conceptual and experimental stages of implementation.

The concept of vertical farming that I envision has been framed around the idea of creating both below-surface and above-surface silos serving as vertical greenhouses for the production of food.

and external wind generators for power, these self-contained farming silos can be constructed in desolate climates, deserts, on rocky ground,

Hyper-Local Urban Farming Going Underground A few years ago, a study by the Leopold Center for Sustainable agriculture at Iowa State university reported that between 1980 and 2001,

#Is there any hope for a non-genetically modified future in America, or Africa? It is really only a matter of time before our food crisis becomes crippling.

#The Untold Story of Africa s Farming Boom Tens of thousands are returning home with money

I could understand from the ground up the new forces at work in rural Africa and in farming and agribusiness in the region.

#2. Farming is now cool Farming in Africa is not only profitable, it s become popular.

now extol farming as a path to prosperity. Nigeria s former president Olusegun Obasanjo has campaigned for progressive farming practices,

The flood of well-educated people going into farming has sped up the absorption of new technology across the board.

First, the existing foreign-owned plantations in Africa have tended to under-perform small-scale family farms on a per-acre basis, partly because of the relatively high costs of mechanized farming and farm labor.

so any uptick in usage could lead to enormous gains Two of the most important technologies in farming are irrigation and fertilizers,

#Already, evidence is overwhelming that farming in Africa, if less productive than other places, has entered a bountiful new phase.

This includes a greater emphasis on urban agriculture such as vertical farming which, properly designed and planned, could provide the sustainable means to improve food supply we need.

Vertical farming is promising because it requires no soil, and can save space and energy and improve crop yield.

Singapore has taken local urban farming to a high level Skygreens has built the world s first commercial vertical farm in large three-story greenhouses, providing a sustainable source

The cost of growing Vertical farming s biggest limitation is energy consumption. Considerable energy is required to power a closed, indoor greenhouse facility s artificial lighting, heating and cooling

Vertical farming: A natural extension of urban agriculture, vertical farms would cultivate plant or animal life within dedicated

The change is due to several key farming practices including cover cropping and no-till farming

No-till farming according to NRDC's analysis could have saved potentially the FCIP $223 million in payouts in 2010 alone.

The FCIP can help farmers transition to less risky farming by becoming a true risk-management policy instead of a crutch.

(and can according to existing law) offer lower rates to farmers who embrace low-risk water-smart practices like cover cropping no-till farming and more efficient irrigation.

Those and other smarter farming methods including techniques used early in the growing cycle are reducing weather-related crop damage by as much as 25 percent in some areas ensuring that fewer crops are wasted

Coupling predictive analytics and modeling techniques with other sophisticated farming methods can prove to be quite beneficial

This includes a greater emphasis on urban agriculture such as vertical farming which properly designed and planned could provide the sustainable means to improve food supply we need.

Vertical farming is promising because it requires no soil and can save space and energy and improve crop yield.

Singapore has taken local urban farming to a high level Skygreens has built the world s first commercial vertical farm in large three-storey greenhouses providing a sustainable source of fresh vegetables.

Vertical farming s biggest limitation is energy consumption. Considerable energy is required to power a closed indoor greenhouse facility s artificial lighting heating and cooling and hydroponic or aeroponic growing systems.

#Soil-Free Farming Grows Vegetables in the Desert With average summer precipitation of about 1 inch (2. 5 centimeters) temperatures higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees

Hydrogel film reduces the water required for farming by 90 percent and the fertilizer needed by 80 percent while increasing farm productivity by 50 percent overall according to Professor Mori.

Let's just get to the point where it is more efficient than ranching and not dependent on a slaughterhouse before we start jumping up and down with joy..

and urbanization so more and more growing is going on in indoor farms, which is what's happening a lot in Europe.

including farming in single rows, raising the beds and even growing varieties with fewer clusters.
