In the case of AUGA organic milk, a staggering 84 % of emissions occur during the production of raw materials, as the calculation conducted by KTU scientists AUGA group showed. According to the conclusions verified by scientists, the majority of emissions, or 42.5 %, are generated during the production of cattle feed. Following closely in second place, is the production of raw milk, accounting for a significant 41.7 % of emissions from the final milk product. However, the new opinion survey of the country's residents commissioned by AUGA group and conducted by Spinter Research reveals that the majority, or 33 %, of respondents stated that the production of cattle feed generates the most emissions. In second place, respondents, accounting for almost 30 %, singled out packaging.  It is clear, that the public opinion about packaging is based on long-standing communication from various businesses and institutions regarding the environmental harm caused by packaging. Furthermore, the consumer only has the opportunity to interact with the packaging, while the entire production process remains unseen. For many years, AUGA group has been developing technologies aimed at reducing the primary sources of emissions, such as fossil fuel-free tractors and specialized feed technology to reduce methane emissions in livestock activity. #Sustainability #Emissions #AUGAgroup

La Catira Industria Láctea, a family-run dairy company, has sourced its milk from Colombia’s Llanos region for more than 40 years. However, conventional cattle farming practices, such as continuous grazing and chemical fertilizers, are posing risks to the savannah.

We’re thrilled to launch our eco-friendly farming program, designed to empower grassroots communities in sustainable agriculture. We have begun training individuals to serve as trainers in the local production of organic fertilizer. This initiative includes establishing demonstration plots where we’ll plant crops, allowing the trainers to appreciate the effectiveness of the organic fertilizer firsthand before they start training others. By utilizing locally sourced materials, we’re not only restoring soil fertility and enhancing water retention but also making a conscious choice to move away from chemical fertilizers, which can be harmful to the environment. In contrast, our organic fertilizer will help protect natural ecosystems and restore degraded farmland, promoting healthier soils and ecosystems for our nation. https://unicotmw.org/ PROTECT! PRESERVE! PROSPER!

Our research reveals groundbreaking findings on the use of biofilm biofertilizer (BFBF) in Gotukola (Centella asiatica) cultivation: 🅺🅴🆈 🅵🅸🅽🅳🅸🅽🅶🆂: - No Yield Compromise: Even with only 60% of the usual chemical fertilizer (CF) rate, Gotukola yields remained robust and unaffected. - Optimal CF Reduction: By identifying 60% of the current CF rate as the optimum for the crop, we discovered that we can further reduce CF usage to just 48% when combined with BFBF. - Comparable Growth: The combination of 48% CF and BFBF produced plant growth comparable to that achieved with 100% CF, highlighting BFBF's efficiency. These findings are a game-changer for sustainable Gotukola cultivation, showing that BFBF can significantly cut down CF use while maintaining high yields. This means healthier produce for consumers and a greener, more eco-friendly approach to farming.

Cellular Agriculture Australia has just released a comprehensive new white paper on the current landscape and future opportunity of the precision fermentation industry in Australia, chock full of great policy recommendations for Australia to capitalise on the nascent sector's potential (https://lnkd.in/gz-zRvrG). One idea from the paper that to me really encapsulated the potential for Australia to create a new onshore value-add manufacturing sector was this: "Phil Morle of MSV estimates that fermenting Australia’s entire $2 billion sugar crop into dairy fats and proteins could generate AUD $50-$80 billion, approximately 14 to 22 times the current value of the sugar industry." And for the APAC regional context this is also a huge opportunity for the world's second largest sugar exporter, Thailand! GFI APAC is digging into this potential as part of a regional commercial fermentation competitiveness study we plan to release later this year.

Fmc Agricola in Brazil recently held a successful field day for producers and businesses in the sugarcane industry to demonstrate the role of biologicals in regenerative agriculture. Sugarcane producers in Brazil have for years been adopting regenerative practices like crop rotation, cover crops, and biosolutions to create more sustainable farming systems. FMC’s Gennesis® Program combines the best of synthetic and biological crop protections, including biological products like Quartzo™ bionematicide and Ataplan™ biofungicide. The Gennesis® Program can increase soil enzyme activity by over 15%, which helps to maintain soil fertility when ratooning—the widespread practice of regrowing a new sugarcane crop from the previous stubble. By promoting healthy soils, robust roots, and thriving plants, our biologicals can support the implementation of good agricultural practices in the sugarcane sector. #biosolutions #CloserToGrowers #KnowledgeSharing

[Value chain co-financing mechanisms] https://lnkd.in/e5uuwYuA This case study highlights a successful collaboration between Yara International and PepsiCo Europe to reduce shared #Scope3 emissions through better fertilizer management. By combining Yara’s expertise in nutrient management with PepsiCo’s agronomy team and on-farm data, the partnership reduces greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective and scalable way. Through this collaboration, low-carbon fertilizers and optimized nitrogen use are reducing up to 80% of emissions from fertilizer production and 20% of on-farm emissions by 2030. The project, which began with potato farmers in Europe, will scale to other crops and regions, providing a replicable model for decarbonizing agriculture.

New CCUS Method Transforms CO2 into Butter Just came across an interesting innovation from Savor, a California-based start-up. Savor has developed a process to create a butter-like spread using #carbondioxide (CO2) and water. Savor's process begins by capturing CO2 from the air and combining it with #hydrogen extracted from water. Through a thermochemical process, these elements are transformed into long chains of #carbon and hydrogen atoms, which are the building blocks of fats. The resulting synthetic fat mimics the properties of dairy butter, including its taste and texture, without the environmental impact of livestock farming or palm oil production. The livestock industry is responsible for approximately 14.5% of global #greenhousegas #emissions. Traditional dairy production also requires significant land and water resources. According to Savor, their method drastically reduces the #carbonfootprint, requiring less than one-thousandth of the water used in conventional #agriculture. Moreover, it avoids #deforestation associated with palm oil cultivation. Backed by Bill Gates, Savor aims to bring its product to market within the next few years. The company has conducted initial taste tests with positive results, with Gates himself remarking on its similarity to real butter. However, Savor faces challenges in scaling production and reducing costs to make their synthetic butter competitive with traditional options. #CCS #CCUS
