🪱 Supporting #Nutrients #Imbalance fight, drone usage is an excellent technique, offering terrain models and a myriad of normalized indexes, of which NDVI is the most known. 💧 Water management is another benefit of mapping your terrain, as it can help you adopt the best practices regarding planting orientation, reducing soil loss, considering best water usage, following contour lines. 🧪 Complement that with nutrient assessment mapping, a service of Digital Twins, where you can see the distribution of multiple nutrients over your field, and you've got a real #DigitalTwin of your plantation. #soils4nutrituon #3dmapping #4Dplus #digitaltwins #precisionagriculture #waterefficiency #nutrientmapping #NDVI #NDWI

you have to know about nutrient imbalance and its effect.

Effective soil management is crucial for #sustainableagriculture 🌱 At TrueAlgae, we recognize the importance of maintaining soil health to ensure food security and environmental sustainability. By focusing on soil nutrient balance, farmers can improve crop yields, reduce dependency on synthetic inputs, and promote long-term agricultural resilience.

🌱 Did you know that 95% of the food we eat comes from the soil? Shockingly, 34% of the earth's soils are already degraded. It's time to take action to sustainably manage and protect our soil for global food security. #Soils4Nutrition #FoodSecurity 🌍 Let's work together to make a difference! #Sustainability #ThoughtLeadership

What % of the food we eat comes from our #soil? a. 57% b. 80% c. 95% #WordSoilDay ANSWER: 95% of the food we eat comes from the soil. But 34% of the earth's soils are already degraded... We need to sustainably manage and protect our soil to protect global #Foodsecurity. #Soils4Nutrition

Great things happening in #Greenbay on the #nutrition front! Fork Farms has developed a cost effective hydroponic system to grow vegetables indoors and it's being used in a local high school to improve the nutrition of their students. Given that only 1 in 10 adults (and likely even fewer children) eats their daily recommended servings of fruits and #vegetables, this opportunity to improve #schoollunch is huge! Studies show that the earlier children are introduced to fresh produce, the likelier they are to continue healthy eating patterns when they are adults. For some students this may be the only meal where #nutrientdense vegetables are offered. How can we in the #foodindustry get more #foodinnovation and nutrient dense food into every #school across the nation? #fruitsandvegetables #communityhealth #wisconsinagriculture #FDA #agriculture #zerosugar Chad Anderson https://lnkd.in/gqyfswVv #cbsnews

Many food products we eat depend on pollination by the bees. Beekeepers are suffering from adulteration - a real threat to their existence and #food security. Furthermore, consumers are denied the health benefits, which are only given when #honey is pure and is produced completely by the bees. To know more about the importance of protecting the beekeepers and the bees, don't miss the free webinar with Martin Linkogel (Quality Services International GmbH) & Thomas Spengler (Bruker), "Bee or not to be? Is your honey authentic?" on 23 November, at 14:00 CET. Learn more & register: https://lnkd.in/dzGA7H_P The speakers will talk about the application of H-NMR and the Honey Profiling 3.1 Method in daily routine for authenticity and quality analysis of honey, and explain the importance of protecting the beekeepers and the bees, as many food products we eat depend on pollination by the bees. #NMR #Beekeeping #HoneyAnalysis
