What I learned at #ASBH2024: If you walk with a cooler through a hotel lobby full of bioethicists, they each will ask you if you are transporting a solid organ. #BioethicsDadJokes #ASBH24

The ESA BSGN | Business in Space Growth Network’s Industry Accelerator for the 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 & 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 aims to find new solutions to old problems and solve some of the biggest agricultural challenges on Earth, such as crop diseases, soil health, heat and cold tolerance, food processing, and sustainable packaging. Astrobiome Space, SARL, involved in the BSGN programme, is reimagining sustainable agriculture to support our planet’s health and prepare humanity for the future of space. By combining microbiome technology and space exposure with the Yuri Science Taxi on the ISS, AstroBiome is engineering bio-fertilisers that are stronger, more efficient, and carbon-friendly. This approach benefits both our ecosystems and the bottom line for farmers.   Discover more about Astrobiome's work from Founder and CEO Vera M. in the video below and read more on the BSGN’s Industry Accelerators here: https://lnkd.in/d52RvQ6C   #AgTech #SpaceTechnology #SustainableAgriculture #SustainableFarming #FoodTech #GreenTech

At UbiQD, our work with #quantumdots goes beyond the ordinary applications seen in displays and lighting. With UbiGro we've developed a greenhouse film that integrates proprietary quantum dots to optimize sunlight for agriculture. By finely controlling the emission properties of our quantum dots, we convert less useful parts of the sunlight spectrum, such as UV and blue light, into wavelengths that plants can utilize more efficiently. The tailored light #spectrum significantly increases photosynthetic efficiency, boosting crop yields by as high as 30%. This nuanced approach to light management illustrates an important advancement for controlled environment #agriculture, offering a sustainable solution to meet the increasing demand to feed our global population.

🌍 Celebrating International Microorganism Day! 🦠   Microbes have existed for approximately 3.7 billion years, but it wasn't until September 17, 1683, that Antonie van Leeuwenhoek wrote to the Royal Society of London, detailing his observation of the first single-celled organisms through his microscope. This discovery forever changed how we understand life on Earth.   To honor this scientific milestone, International Microorganism Day shines a light on the many ways microbes impact our world today. From life-saving antibiotics and vaccines to biofuels, microbes also contribute to better food production, clean up oil spills, manage waste, and even improve soil for agriculture. These tiny organisms are key players in the most important advancements shaping our health, environment, and future.   At AMCAN Biotech Ingredients, we’re dedicated to supporting research and industry with our specialized ingredients that enhance microbial growth. Microbes may be small, but their impact is enormous, and we're excited to be part of the journey.   Join global events https://lnkd.in/ex6RcJgG and learn more about them. #InternationalMicroorganismDay #bacteria #biotechnology

AWARE TIP #1 Did you know ? 🌿 Plant roots thrive in a well-aerated environment. So do fishes, because they breathe dissolved oxygen in the water. 🐟  Anyway their breathing can deplete it and leave the plant roots with too little oxygen around. ⚠️ That's why in most systems we have 2 tanks for fishes and plants connected by pipes, and not just one shared tank where they live together. #aquaponics, #aquaculture, #circularity, #EUResearch, #awareponics European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) INNOVA - Technology Transfer and Valorisation Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Innovazione UniSalento Luiss Guido Carli University AIGUANATURA DELS PORTS SL
