The biological battery that could power future farms

The biological battery that could power future farms

Researchers tap the power of microbial fuel cells to generate a continuous, clean and maintenance-free power supply for precision agriculture Farms of the future will have to source more sustainable energy supplies for distributed low-power applications, such as precision irrigation and environmental monitoring. “Current solutions typically rely on conventional batteries or external power sources. These…
From festivals to farms: European regions turn wastewater into agricultural resources

From festivals to farms: European regions turn wastewater into agricultural resources

New circular systems in Sweden, Germany and Spain are converting urban waste streams into fertiliser and reclaimed irrigation water for local agriculture Vast amounts of nutrient-rich wastewater disappear daily into urban sewers, while farms relying on conventional fertilisers struggle to maintain yields and cope with water scarcity. What cities have in excess agriculture often lacks.…
Los avances biotecnológicos ayudan a los agricultores a cultivar más con menos

Biotech breakthrough helping farmers grow more with less

A cutting-edge manufacturing platform is turning agricultural waste into sustainable farming solutions European farmers face mounting pressure to produce more with fewer resources. Skyrocketing costs and regulations target synthetic fertilisers that rely heavily on fossil fuels and energy-intensive production processes. Meanwhile, Europe produces huge amounts of underused agricultural and organic waste that represent an untapped…
Novel tech for next-generation green agriculture

Novel tech for next-generation green agriculture

The EU-funded ECONUTRI project’s nutrient management technologies are helping to reduce fertiliser dependency, eliminate pollution of aquifers and pave the way for more resilient agricultural systems One of agriculture’s most pressing environmental challenges is nutrient pollution. Excess nitrogen and phosphorus from manure, slurry and synthetic fertilisers are over-fertilising soils and contaminating water and air, contributing…
Connected countryside: smart tech is recharging rural Europe

Connected countryside: smart tech is recharging rural Europe

Improved connectivity is transforming daily life in rural Europe, from safer school runs to cleaner energy, while supporting local economies and cutting emissions Getting children ready and on time for school can be stressful. In Finnish Lapland, where winters are long and snowy and some students travel long distances by bus, the challenge is even…
Respaldar la transición a una agricultura respetuosa con la biodiversidad

Supporting transition to biodiversity-friendly farming

A platform for farmers to integrate biodiversity into their practices can bring numerous ecosystem benefits and strengthen the resilience of European agriculture. Biodiversity can improve soil health, reduce the need for external inputs and support climate adaptation. However, farmers often lack the tools and information needed to manage these complex systems effectively. PATH2DEA(opens in new…
Acelerar la transición hacia la agroecología mediante laboratorios vivientes

Accelerating the transition to agroecology through Living Labs

An ambitious collaboration building the infrastructure needed to harness agroecology’s transformative potential, the EU-funded AGROECOLOGY Partnership aims to deliver improved sustainable farming and food security Europe’s food production and land use practices have ensured food security, but at a cost: the agricultural sector accounts for over 10 % of EU greenhouse gas emissions(opens in new…
NutriSen founding team with their sensor innovation – Alaa Oughli, Tobias Vöpel, Débora Moretti, and Nicolas Plumeré.

Smart fertilization with biosensor strips

The start-up has developed a measuring device and an application that farmers can use to generate highly precise and specific fertilization recommendations for their crops From plant data to fertilizer recommendations in just a few minutes In agricultural practice, the amount of fertilizer applied to crops is usually based on standardized calculations or empirical values.…
Sistema autosuficiente para producir fertilizantes sostenibles a partir de CO2 y nitrógeno en el proyecto europeo CONFETI

Making fertilisers for the world, the eco-friendly and energy efficient way

The EU-funded CONFETI project is developing a self-powered, sustainable solution to fertiliser production that can be used even in countries with limited resources The CONFETI project was launched with the ambitious goal to tackle four critical global challenges that contribute to climate change, environmental degradation and inequality between countries. The challenges in question are rising…
Cellular agriculture: sustainable food production opportunities in Finland

Cell factories boost Finland’s food exports – report lists eight measures to renew the food system and realize growth potential

Presents substantial growth opportunities, with cell factories playing a critical role in producing essential food ingredients while advancing sustainability and resilience against climate change, presents the new report by VTT Technical Research Center of Finland, Natural Resources Institute Finland and University of Helsinki Cellular agriculture is a rapidly developing and promising food production method. It…
