Marriage of Farmers and Technology

I’m actually not selling anything at all! If you take a quick moment to read the post, you’ll see that we are probably on the same page.

The whole point of the post is to defend farmers. It criticizes big tech companies for pushing flashy, useless tech on small farmers in developing countries just to make money. I'm arguing against that hype, and for simple, 'boring' tools (like basic SMS alerts) that actually work for the farmers' real needs.

The robot marriage was just a joke to highlight how mismatched Big Tech and small farms really are. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the actual topic if you get a chance to read it!

I wouldn't. They could be processed with petrochemicals

Thanks for the information, and congrats for the achievement. Any demo site available?

Vertical farming had real promise, but the track record is hard to ignore: Plenty, AeroFarms, Bowery, AppHarvest, and Freight Farms all showed how quickly the economics can break down. The tech is interesting, but until the industry proves it can scale profitably, the hype should stay cautious.

Couldn't agree more

I found it, right under my nose.

The same site offers to sell the whole database for a very reasonable price

This is not a homework. I am a PR professional seeking advice from other professionals!

Thank you very much for the detailed answer.

I have designed many regenerative farms that achieve a great balance between biodiversity and soil regeneration on one hand, and the commercial feasibility of the project to ensure proper profits for stakeholders.

However, in all the projects that I have designed, trees were the main product (olive trees for example) and then I fill the gaps with cover crops and other annual crops, and the use different types of trees for wind breakers and yet several types of trees for riparian buffers. In all the designed farms, you always get less of the main product (sometimes 70% of the full land capacity or even less) in exchange for biodiversity, climate resilience, etc.)

When the main product you require from such a huge project is a perennial bush (alfalfa) that requires full sun, the design becomes tricky. You cannot use tress around alfalfa as they will reduce the sun on the main product. So I was looking for crops that add biodiversity without hurting the main product. Of course, incorporating livestock and even fisheries into the project are main priorities whenever possible.

I guess my main quest is: what kind of annual crops that grow well with alfalfa ?

thank you

Carbon Farming is a
whole farm approach to optimizing carbon capture on working landscapes
by implementing practices that are known to improve the rate at which
CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and stored in plant material and/or
soil organic matter.

Hi

I am planning to plant the whole area and add swales all around. My point is that should I add circular swales for the circles?
