Good stuff #agsky - protein, castings for fertiliser and reduces fruit fly risk potentially.
All hyperlocal turning trash into cash.

More agrivoltaic data.
Researchers have analyzed whether increasing the spacing between PV rows can make agrivoltaic systems economically viable for large-scale mechanized agriculture.

I can’t wait until farming relies on solar/wind not diesel.
It’s not hoarding: Farmers need to buy huge amounts of #diesel to keep our food secure

Who are agricultural and food economists whose work you follow?
Looking to speak with experts on how the Iran war is impacting the entire food supply chain, from planting to transporting to processing.

Don’t know what to say. We should be encouraging #foodsecurity to protect us from overseas shocks and instead local growers could go out of business. What a mess.

Landfill powered farming
AI cover image a bit deceptive given the prototype actually looks like this though.

More solid data on #agrivoltaics Humid v’s dry,
Do solar panels hurt crop yields? It depends on where you farm. A new study shows agrivoltaics can cut #maize yields in humid regions but boost #soybean production in drier climates.

"Why farming? Honestly, it’s my rebellion."
Growing local is a political act against a broken system. Amy's real "policy work" happens at Fresh Heads Farm. It’s a quiet revolution, one harvest at a time.

#agsky if you check the quote posts & comments this one's certainly getting a lot of discussion.
A new spin on couch potato.
And … potential as an emergency battery backup. Intentional or a happy coincidence🧐
Which variety of potato gives more power, alternative if not available, grading for consistency of size. How many spuds per km.

"Policies that address oversupply are urgently needed to take the foot off the gas of milk production and halt family dairy farm closures. A better pricing system that supports fair prices for family dairy farms and does not necessitate exponential herd growth is necessary now." #familyfarms #agsky

Healthy #soil = healthy plants = healthy people.
We spend a lot of time focusing on regenerative #agriculture inputs, but we don't always consider the equipment we're using in that equation.

If we got the resources to invest in this tech, we could grow food without needing light. Actual viable vertical farming. #AgSky 🧪🌱 source.washu.edu/2024/10/how-...
