The next generation of farmers, land managers, and agricultural scientists are learning, developing opinions, and deciding their pathways at institutions like the Royal Agricultural University ? Our We Feed The World exhibition now fills these teaching spaces, spotlighting the folk who feed 70% of the world using less than a quarter of its agricultural land and encouraging students to think critically about the future of farming.? ? Hopefully, these #YoungFarmers will help grow a food system that cultivates equality, justice and diversity, so that small-scale producers can continue nourishing all on Earth. ? “They tell stories, they inspire, they educate; which are all of the things we are trying to do as a university” – Director of External Relations, RAU https://lnkd.in/e6w4Qfun

Researchers from the University of Waikato have secured notable funding from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s Endeavour Fund. ? Dr Marie Magnusson received funding for a five-year research project to explore how seaweed can boost plants’ natural defences and boost global food production. Currently, synthetic crop protection products are used in farming to prevent crop losses from diseases, but there are growing concerns about their environmental and health implications and their effectiveness. The following Smart Ideas projects have been awarded grants over three years: ?Dr Mohammad Dalour Beg is developing sustainable packaging alternatives to potentially cut carbon footprint by up to 80%. ?Dr Deniz ?zkundakci and Dr Melanie Ooi will use machine learning to forecast changes in freshwater ecosystems. ?Dr Anany Dwivedi is applying light technology to improve prosthetic devices and user autonomy. ?Dr KRISHANU ROY is looking at creating a 3D-printable concrete mix to address New Zealand’s housing shortage with local materials. ?Professor Barry Barton Dr Jennifer Campion, Dr Terry Isson Dr Andrew La Croix and Professor Louis Schipper are contributing to a University of Canterbury project, investigating CO2 removal technologies to potentially offset one million tonnes of CO2 per year, offering alternatives to carbon forestry.

In 2011, I completed my 12th grade, fueled by a curiosity for the environment. This led me to pursue a Geography Honors degree from Kirodimal College, which I completed in 2014. My academic journey continued with a Master's in Environment and Development from the School of Human Ecology, completed in 2016. It was during this time that my passion for sustainability took root. Driven by a commitment to conservation, I began working on preserving desi seeds and ventured into organic farming. The initial years were challenging, marked by significant losses. However, perseverance paid off, and by 2018, my efforts began to bear fruit. Our fields became a hub of learning, attracting numerous visitors, especially B.Sc. Agriculture students eager to understand sustainable practices. The lockdown in 2020 brought a pivotal change. With everything going online, I seized the opportunity to share my knowledge digitally. I launched an online course, and by 2021, I started focusing seriously on YouTube. Our channel quickly became the fastest-growing agriculture channel of 2021, and by 2023, we were the most viewed in the field. This journey reached a new pinnacle in 2024 when I was honored with the National Creator Award for the Most Impactful Agri Creator by none other than PM Modi himself. From humble beginnings to national recognition, this journey has been a testament to the power of resilience, the importance of sustainability, and the impact of sharing knowledge. Thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in this vision. Together, we are cultivating a greener, more sustainable future. ?? #SustainableAgriculture #OrganicFarming #AgriCreator #NationalAward #Journey #Sustainability #EnvironmentalConservation

Indoor agriculture and the CEA industry are growing at a rapid pace. More and more universities are offering programs in these areas of study, performing indoor ag research, and building greenhouses for their campuses. Looking to enter the CEA field or want to expand your knowledge by getting a relevant degree? This week's article takes a look at some of the nation’s best CEA and agricultural programs and what they have to offer. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/eud_YUBe TC Control Group is dedicated to helping growers advance the industry and cultivate the best crops. We can design, install, and service your indoor growing space—plus, we’re always on the lookout for the industry’s next leaders.

?? New Issue Alert! ?? The latest issue of ‘Australian University Science’ magazine is packed with insights showing how science is paving the way for a successful transition to a net zero emissions economy! ???? From physics to biology, chemistry to earth sciences, every scientific discipline plays a crucial role in this vital journey. One of the key sectors we dive into is agriculture, highlighting how it can significantly contribute to our sustainable future. ???? In this issue, Dr Debra Cousins, Chair of the Zero Net Emissions Agriculture Cooperative Research Centre (ZNE-Ag CRC), discusses how this initiative, involving 11 university partners, three Indigenous organisations, and multiple industry partners, secured $300 million in funding over 10 years. She emphasises the critical role of university science in developing innovative solutions for reducing agricultural emissions, which account for 16% of Australia's total emissions. By combining multiple technologies and leveraging fundamental university research, the CRC aims to create pathways to low-emissions agriculture that are effective, impactful, and economically viable for farmers. Don’t miss out on these inspiring articles and research findings that underline the importance of science in solving the world’s most pressing challenges.

The #OneCropHealth long-term systems experiment was officially "launched" with the sowing of the first winter wheat crop yesterday at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen Taastrup experimental farm site. Inspired by the long-term agronomic and ecological experiments (some dating back to 1843!) at our project partner Rothamsted Research we are establishing field scale experiments to explore how we might integrate new agroecological, digital, and biological tools into farming systems to reduce reliance on pesticides for controlling pests, weeds and diseases. We may not get to 180 years with these experiments but we hope they become a valuable tool for exploring how to integrate new technologies. We hope this experiment will become a fantastic platform for addressing fundamental questions about pest biology and management, soil health, functional biodiversity and sustainable crop production. A great day for colleague Kenton Porker to visit. Kenton is looking at setting up a network of long-term farming systems experiments in Australia. Watch this space for updates on #OneCropHealth activities, experiments, and opportunities.
