The global biostimulants market projected to cross $7.6 billion by 2029 The market is growing rapidly, offering countless opportunities.  Currently valued at $4.3 billion, it is expected to almost double in the next five years.  This growth signals significant changes in the farming sector which we must be ready to adapt.  But why is the biostimulant market growing so fast?  Here’s why:  - More consumers are opting for organic produce.  - It promotes chemical-free farming practices.  - It serves as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.  - It improves soil health and helps control water pollution. - It enhances plant growth by improving nutrient uptake.  - It leads to higher crop yields.  - It adapts well to changing climate conditions.  As the world faces growing pressure to produce more food with fewer resources, Biostimulants are emerging as an important tool for farmers who want to stay ahead. I truly believe the growth of biostimulants marks a step toward more efficient, eco-friendly, and sustainable farming practices. And, promoting them is key to securing a better future and advancing organic farming.  Do you think biostimulants are the future of farming? #biostimulants #farming

Embracing Agricultural Modernization: North Korea Expands Greenhouse Cultivation Efforts Despite inheriting greenhouse technology from South Korea in the 2000s, North Korea has struggled to widely implement these advancements. Recently, the North Korean Agricultural Science Institute, through its publications in state media, has been promoting the economic benefits of cultivating rice seedlings in greenhouses. This method allows for robust growth unaffected by weather and soil conditions, while also reducing labor and material costs compared to traditional outdoor methods. According to reports, experimental greenhouse rice cultivation has already begun in various regions, including Hwanghae Province, showcasing North Korea’s efforts to modernize its agricultural practices amid chronic food shortages. North Korea’s focus on greenhouse cultivation marks a significant step towards agricultural modernization, aiming to overcome longstanding food security challenges. By adopting advanced techniques, such as greenhouse-based rice cultivation, North Korea seeks to optimize resource use and enhance agricultural productivity.

Maximizing Crop Yields with Agricultural Inoculants: Cultivating Sustainable Growth

#InTheMedia: As the world’s fifth-largest rice producer, Vietnam has immense potential to generate revenue from rice by-products like straw, husk, and bran, while adopting ecological and circular farming practices. Currently, a significant amount of these by-products go unused, wasting valuable resources and contributing to emissions through practices like burning straw in fields. IRRI’s Dr. Hung Van Nguyen emphasized the need for policies to support farmers, cooperatives, and market monetization. Dr. Nguyen added that IRRI is ready to collaborate, share databases, design systems, and introduce new technologies to promote circular agriculture. Read the full story: https://bit.ly/3zR3E9U

THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEMS ON THE MIDWEST The Midwest region of the United States is widely renowned for its agricultural culture. Corn and soy fields can be seen for miles upon miles, and mechanization of farming techniques over the last century has led production to increase exponentially. This region contains approximately 125 million acres of agricultural land. Despite this seemingly never-ending amount of farmland and corn and soybean harvesting, the Midwest still faces immense food insecurity, especially in the case of the farmers themselves. Emphasis has been placed on producing for profit, as our corn and soy is directed to non-human consumption uses from animal feed to biofuel, rather than utilizing part of the land to produce goods for local human consumption. The Midwest's modern agricultural techniques are energy-intensive and tend to commodify necessary goods, contributing to our most pressing issues of greenhouse gas emissions, land degradation, and food insecurity. Our modern view of how we produce goods on our land is in need of a paradigm shift, including an alternative or additional breakthrough on what we produce, how it is produced, and the end product.
