📢🌾 Call for applications to reduce methane emissions from rice cultivation The Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP) is seeking Expressions of Interest from farmer-facing implementing partners for large-scale pilot carbon credit projects. Rice farming is one of the world’s largest methane emitters. In partnership with CarbonFarm and AgriCapture, this initiative aims to empower smallholder farmers through #CarbonFinance, driving the adoption of sustainable, low-emission practices and creating scalable business models to directly benefit farmers. These pilot projects will: ✅ Develop scalable solutions to reduce GHG emissions. ✅ Introduce innovative carbon finance systems. ✅ Utilize dMRV to ensure robust emissions tracking. 🔗 Who Should Apply? SRP members with expertise in working with rice farmers and the capacity to onboard at least 10,000 hectares by 2028. 👉 Apply now and be part of the movement toward sustainable, climate-resilient agriculture!

We're looking to expand our customer base - Please reach out! 🚀 Exciting Update from the Farm! After weeks of hard work and dedication, we are thrilled to share a new video showcasing the amazing progress of our Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) production! These little guys have been busy growing healthy and strong, and they are absolutely thriving. In the video, you’ll see how the larvae are efficiently consuming organic waste, converting it into valuable biomass that will soon become high-protein feed for livestock and nutrient-rich organic fertilizer for sustainable agriculture. 🌱💪 📈 Production is on track, and we’re well on our way to scaling this eco-friendly, circular farming solution that helps reduce waste and provides an alternative to traditional feed ingredients. It's incredible to see how nature can work in our favor, creating real benefits for both the environment and agriculture. 🌍♻️ Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow our production and explore the endless possibilities of BSF farming! #BlackSoldierFly #SustainableAgriculture #CircularEconomy #OrganicFarming #WasteReduction #AnimalFeed #Innovation #EcoFriendlyFarming

Bridging the Gap Between Agriculture and Food Industry 🥦🍔🌱 Did you know that the agriculture industry discards 42% of its biomass, including valuable leaves packed with nutrients? At Day8, we've recognized this untapped potential and developed a process to transform these discarded leaves into Rubisco protein—a key ingredient coveted by the food industry. By enhancing agricultural efficiency and providing a sustainable ingredient solution, we're bridging the gap between two of the world's largest industries.

The notion of ‘food versus fuel’ reinforces a misconception that land has just one purpose: it either grows food crops or it grows energy crops. Each field’s output can change from season to season, delivering a broad range of socio-economic and environmental benefits. However, to deliver this sustainably, we must transition away from conventional, intensive farming. Using crop rotations, anaerobic digestion (AD) can be sustainably integrated into agricultural systems, with minimal impact on total food production. Break crops can be fed to AD, providing a source of home-grown, low-carbon energy, whilst also benefiting energy security and decarbonisation efforts. When this rotation is staggered across fields, a continual source of feedstock to produce biogas is achievable. Spreading the resultant digestate (AD’s organic biofertiliser) back to land can help replenish soil carbon and also displace demand for carbon-intensive artificial fertilisers. #SustainableFarming #SustainableAgriculture

I've posted about fertilizers and diesel exhaust fuel (DEF) previously and how the feedstock is natural gas.... but did you know that the by-products of oil and gas can be transformed into something as essential as the food on our table? Tessenderlo Kerley, Inc., a leader in the field of specialty fertilizers, is doing just that by converting sulfur from refineries into safe, high-performance, and high-value fertilizers. These innovative products, such as Thio-Sul®, CaTs®, and KTS®, provide essential nutrients like nitrogen, calcium, potassium, and sulfur in forms readily available to plants. This not only optimizes crop yield and quality but also enhances what I consider TRUE sustainability in agriculture. It's another remarkable example of how industries can collaborate to create a circular economy, turning waste into true value-add products and contributing to a truer more sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/ggwsjqRz #agriculture #oilandgas #fertilizers #circulareconomy

Sustainable practices such as reducing fertilizer use, adopting no-till farming techniques, and optimizing ginning processes can significantly reduce the cotton industry's carbon footprint. Our energy use metric evaluates all energy expended throughout the entire production cycle of a single crop within a given year, encompassing activities from pre-planting to post-harvest. Trust Protocol growers reported a 27% reduction in energy consumption during the 2022/23 cotton growing season compared to the 2015 baseline.

#InTheMedia: Understanding carbon markets can be daunting and often alienates crucial stakeholders like farmers. IRRI's Dr. Alisher Mirzabaev emphasizes the need for clear, profitable incentives for farmers to engage in carbon farming. This approach requires significant investment in digital and technological transformation to be effective. 🌐 🔗 Read here: https://bit.ly/3wUvfWZ #CarbonFarming #ClimateChange #SustainableAgriculture #IRRI

🔎🪻 Biostimulants are a breakthrough biotechnological solution with the potential to transform how we cultivate our crops!.

This approach not only addresses environmental concerns but also contributes to the overall goal of ensuring a resilient and secure food supply for present and future generations. #30YearsStrong #GrowingTogether #ACS #AlltechCropScience #SoilHealthExperts #SustainableAgriculture #bioestimulants #biotechnology #crops

It’s throwback Thursday, we're excited to reflect on our vegetable farming project, where we utilized Black Soldier Fly (BSF) frass as a natural, organic fertilizer. The use of Frass did not only nourished our crops but also promoted healthy soil, contributing to higher yields and improved sustainability. It is nutrient-rich, and packed with essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, making it perfect for thriving vegetable growth. Also, it is eco-friendly, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers and significantly reducing environmental impact. Additionally, it promotes soil health by encouraging beneficial microorganisms that improve soil structure and fertility. We’re proud to be part of the movement toward organic, sustainable agriculture, proving that nature’s solutions are often the most effective. #ThrowbackThursday #OrganicFarming #BSFFrass #SustainableAgriculture #HealthySoil #GreenFarming #Entojutu

🔍 Understanding the Pyrolysis Process: A Key to Sustainable Agriculture! Ever wondered how we turn organic materials into valuable agricultural aids? The pyrolysis process does just that!
