This fruit you've probably never heard of... but you probably should.
- It requires 50% less water to grow compared to lemons.
- Can be grown and harvested commercially.
- Requires 30% less chemical inputs.
It's called a Finger Lime, and it's a native Australian fruit indigenous to the eastern coast of the country.
And of course I found this Aussie native fruit here in Spain and gave it to everyone I saw.
CEO of ODOS: Alejandro's reaction trying it for the first time:
1. What's this?
2. Woah that's sour.
3. Okay, that's delicious.
Who wants me to get them one?
If life is what you make of it - so is internet.
This is a nice quick video to discuss food, science, or agriculture. It can also be an intentional descend into a deep dive that touches the broken spirits of students and communities dealing with globalized agriculture that relies on their local threatened natural capital, and even those living far away whose hearts and minds are weary with ecoanxiety that has no outlet.
You could lead with curiosity and let it flow.
What can we learn from cinnamon harvesting to help our local forests or trees to thrive?
See, if you take bark away from a tree the way these experts are, plants can be managed sustainably. That inner bark or even a whole plant is rebuilds and other trees are available for harvest during that time. Other methods of dissecting and harvesting plants and trees can be useful for fruit production, timber, soil erosion, and habitat restoration.

Do you know how cinnamon is harvested?
We are so DISCONNECTED from our FOOD! Did you know? ❌ 🍎
- Cinnamon comes from the bark of a tree
- Quinoais actually a seed harvested from a plant related to spinach and beets
- Pineapples grow on the ground, not on trees, and each pineapple plant produces only one fruit per year.
- Avocados are technically berries, and they grow on trees native to Central and South America
How many of the facts did you know?

Wine grape harvest is in full swing. My empathy to everyone working nights right now, especially those hand harvesting, it’s hard work!
Here I was collecting results from a trial in Cabernet Sauvignon in Paso Robles, CA. I sprayed our biostimulant Transit at 50% bloom at 12 fl oz/acre to increase fruit set. This block also suffered from frost damage at budbreak which appears to have lowered yields.
Result: Average yield for the treated vines was 15% higher than the untreated!
I verified this by comparing it to the UTC yield in another trial in the same block, and Transit at bloom was still 12.55% higher in yield.
Great results, we would like to look at this application for any varieties that have difficulty with fruit set on a larger scale next year.

The role of post-harvest handling in determining the quality and market value of avocados cannot be overstated. Poor handling practices can lead to mechanical damage, reducing fruit quality and, ultimately, the market price. Therefore, careful harvesting to avoid bruising, correct packing to minimize pressure on the fruits, and appropriate storage conditions are fundamental to preserving quality. Ensuring a seamless transition from harvest to market is crucial. It's Avocado Season - Let the Green Fest Begin!

Your opinion counts! ☝
Whether you process several tons of malt every day in a large brewery or just a few kilograms as a hobby brewer: Your opinion is important, because it helps to better understand the needs and challenges of the industries and to work on possible solutions.
The raw material barley malt plays an important role in beer production and is involved in cultivation in agriculture, production in malt houses and processing in breweries. As part of our colleague Maria Krahmer's thesis, we would like to examine the current situation in these three areas, with reference to developments in malting barley and barley malt over the past 10 years.
🗳 Please take three minutes of your time and click this link to the survey https://lnkd.in/gMVkmdH8, if you:
- process barley malt as a raw material (usually as a brewer) or
- process malting barley into malt (usually as a maltster) or
- cultivate malting barley (usually as a farmer) or
- are involved with malting barley and/or barley malt in other areas (e.g. teaching/research)
We look forward to your participation and thank you in advance for your time and commitment.
