How do we support our local farmers? ?? Farmers are the pillars of our community. They dedicate themselves to supplying us with fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, and more. Without their relentless efforts, we wouldn't enjoy the wholesome food that nourishes us daily. It's essential to recognize and back our farmers by standing with them and endorsing their efforts. #sustainableagriculture #agriculturetraining #farmlife #agricultureeducation #supportfarmers #agriculturist #africanfarming #nigeria #nigeriaagriculture #farmtofork #organicfarming

This recent BBC article shows just how damaging birds can be to crops. "One night we went to bed preparing to harvest five tonnes of fruit and the next morning we woke up and half of it was gone," says the CEO of Denbies Wine Estate, England's largest vineyard. This is exactly why we developed solutions like the Scarecrow 180 and 360, which use our market-leading bio-acoustic technology to humanely and effectively keep even hungry birds away from crops. https://lnkd.in/ejPYj2Zy

?? Saturday Reflection: My Early Days as a Tomato Farmer ?? During a conversation this morning with my dad about his flourishing home garden, I asked him if nurturing the plants and carrying out all the daily routines was too much work or if he enjoyed it. His response was, "Oh! It's so refreshing! I enjoy doing the work and watching the plants grow." I was thrilled to hear that and suggested that he have someone take pictures and videos of him while tending to his crops once in a while. Those memories would be something to look back on with a smile during harvest time. He agreed and said he would start keeping memories of his routine. Reflecting on my journey into tomato farming, I am filled with gratitude and pride. It started with a simple dream and a lot of determination. Every step, from the first seeds I planted to the first harvest, was a learning experience. I remember the excitement of seeing the first sprouts, the challenges of battling pests, and the joy of tasting the first ripe tomatoes. Those early days involved hard work, sleepless nights, and countless lessons. But they were also filled with hope, passion, and a vision for a sustainable future. Now, as I look at the thriving plants in our greenhouses and the innovative soilless systems we've implemented, I am reminded of how far we've come. It's a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of sustainable agriculture. To all the young farmers out there, keep pushing forward. Your dreams are valid, and your efforts will bear fruit. ?? Video: tomato harvest last year. #SaturdayReflection #TomatoFarming #SustainableAgriculture #FarmLife #AgricultureIsSexy #Ajomagsfarm

?? In this photo [?°], we see an ordinary crate filled with mushrooms. However, it's important to highlight that the mushrooms are quite small, likely because it's the first day of picking during the initial flush. ?? ?? Seperating out smaller mushrooms on the first day is crucial for ensuring a high-quality and abundant harvest. This process may require sacrificing some of the smaller mushrooms, but in doing so, you create room for larger, healthier mushrooms to thrive. ??? ?????? On the first day of picking, crooked and misshapen mushrooms, as well as small mushrooms from clusters, are removed. This might be time-consuming, but it's a necessary step to encourage the growth of bigger, heavier, and higher-quality mushrooms. Without this separation, the overall yield will suffer. ?? ?? Remember: Dedicate at least one day to proper seperation in your grow rooms to achieve a substantial yield per square meter. ?? ?? Special thanks to UMDIS consultant Iurie Boiciuc for these insights.

Understanding Vivipary in Fruits **?? Understanding Vivipary: When Seeds Sprout Inside the Fruit ??** Have you ever encountered a fruit with sprouting seeds inside? This phenomenon, known as vivipary, is not only fascinating but also has significant implications for fruit quality and shelf life. Understanding vivipary helps us appreciate the delicate balance in fruit cultivation and storage. Whether you're a farmer, retailer, or simply a fruit enthusiast, knowing how to manage this phenomenon can ensure the fruits we enjoy remain fresh and nutritious. Let's continue exploring the wonders of nature and enhancing our agricultural practices! ???? #Agriculture #Horticulture #FruitQuality #FoodScience #SustainableFarming #NatureScience

In this picture, we’re grafting avocado seedlings by joining the top part of a healthy avocado plant (scion) with a strong root system (rootstock). This method boosts tree growth, improves fruit quality, and enhances disease resistance. Grafted avocado trees bear fruit in just 3 to 4 years, much faster than non-grafted ones. In Usambara, where avocados are a vital income source, we work with local farmers to promote sustainable agriculture, helping families thrive through improved avocado farming. #grafting #avocadofarming #usambarafruits #communityimpact #sustainablefarming #plantscience #incomegeneration

Cowpea is a vital food source for farmers dealing with unpredictable weather.
