Join us for our first CrowdFarming Farmers' event in Germany!   📅 Date: Thursday, June 13, 2024 (10 AM to 6.30 PM)  📍 Location: Rieckens Eichhof, Großbarkau, near Kiel, Germany 📣 Topic: #Regenerative Agriculture ✍ Participation: Free, Registration Required through the link in the comments 🌡 We will discuss the challenges that concern us all with experts and farmers: constant winter rain, record-breaking spring heat, prolonged #droughts, and uncertain harvests. 👨🌾 We will spend the day at the Eichhof of the Riecken family, tour the farm, and get an introduction to the field of #Regenerative Agriculture, Crop Production and #Holistic Grazing. 🤗 We will have the opportunity to meet and connect with CrowdFarming family, Climate Farmers and regenerative farmers and experts Yann Boulestreau, Maarten Sillekens and Felix Riecken in person. 🐮 The Eichhof has been family-owned for over 120 years and has evolved into a modern #organic dairy farm with more than 70 dairy cows, mother-bound calf rearing, yogurt/cheese production, and a farm shop. 🌳  Since the catastrophic drought in 2018, Felix Riecken realized that he needed to prepare the family business for future challenges and began gradually introducing #agroforestry systems in combination with cattle farming and regenerative practices. We look forward to your participation and to meeting you in person!

As spring arrives, almond trees begin to flower, with bees playing a vital role in transferring pollen between them to produce the crop. #cfm #ruralinvestment #agriculture #ausag #assetmanagement #customisedfarmmanagement

➖ SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE INNOVATION The vertical farming revolution could be a sustainable solution for the future of food! It is a groundbreaking approach to agriculture that maximizes crop yield in minimal space. By utilizing innovative technologies like aeroponic towers and precise irrigation systems, this method offers a sustainable and efficient way to produce food. Whether you're a home gardener or a commercial farmer, vertical farming provides the opportunity to grow fresh, nutritious produce year-round. How do you envision vertical farming shaping the future of food production and addressing global challenges like food scarcity and environmental sustainability? Follow for eye-opening inspirations. 🤯 I bring you valuable and thought-provoking content that I consider cool, innovative, different, and distinctive. --- Follow Innovation Voice to showcase your innovation to a global audience! #innovation #agriculture #farming #technology #sustainability #future #innovationvoice

🌾 How Brix Monitoring Can Reveal Critical Boron Deficiency in Crops 🌾 Did you know that measuring Brix levels can also indicate boron levels in your crop? If Brix levels don't drop overnight, it might signal a serious boron deficiency. Each evening, a critical process allows the transfer of glucose from chloroplasts to the roots, where 60% of this sugar is exuded to feed the rhizosphere's organisms. This process hinges on boron. Without enough boron to open this "door," sugar remains trapped in the leaves, starving the root zone of essential energy. This can lead to significant plant health issues. Regular Brix monitoring with a refractometer can help you identify and address boron deficiencies, enhancing the resilience of your crops and soil. #Agronomy #CropHealth #BoronDeficiency #BrixMonitoring #SoilHealth #SustainableAgriculture
