Two ‘random’ headlines in Dutch newspapers last few weeks, both are very relevant under our Farm of the Future vision. With dairy demand increasing for the foreseeable future, we see it as our duty to make the sector even more sustainable, more circulair and more future proof whilst at the same time protecting farmer income. In the first 4 year pilot Lely partner with the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Wageningen University, Hanskamp and others to explore the replacement of artificial manure with cow urine to promote circulair farming. In the second 7 year pilot Lely partner with ZLTO and others to explore the potential of CO2 capturing by farmers in the Netherlands. Both are very promising concepts and will give us lots of learnings for a bright future in dairy farming! #FD #Lely #Farminginnovators

xarvio is a proud sponsor of the DLG Roadshow Pflanze 2024!   This multi-location event across Germany until 29 November will bring together over 1,000 farmers, sustainability enthusiasts, and industry experts to explore the future of farming in Germany.   Under the theme, “Regenerative Landwirtschaft – Nullnummer oder Nutzbringer für mehr Ertrag?” (Regenerative Farming – Waste of time or a useful tool for increasing yield?), this roadshow investigates the potential and value of regenerative farming to improve yields and sustainability. The event includes a focus on how innovative tools, such as digital farming solutions, and sustainable practices are driving the transformation of agriculture, with deep dives into topics like efficient fertilization, soil management, and crop rotation.   Our team—Henrich Meier, Paulina Bärm, Dr. Dominic Sturm, Steffen Telgmann and Holger Brueck—will be on-site at each event to showcase how xarvio FIELD MANAGER empowers regenerative farming, by enhancing soil health, optimizing crop protection, and boosting sustainability through advanced ag intelligence and precision technology. Learn more about this event from this link: https://lnkd.in/eSaEqeS5 See you at the roadshow! #xarvio #DLG #digitalfarming #precisionag #sustainability #ForTheLoveOfFarming

The expansion of innovation and technology is essential for improving the sustainability performance across all industries, including salmon farming. That’s why we’re pleased to see that this year, BioSort AS will bring a simplified version of GSI Member Cermaq Global’s iFarm project to market. The iFarm project uses innovations in image recognition to improve salmon health and welfare while reducing environmental impacts. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gyZU8xwa

The recent National Dairy Congress and Tradeshow in Gorinchem (NL) shed light on the ongoing challenges within the dairy farming industry. It's no secret that dairy farming faces several “wicked problems”. Despite these obstacles, it is inspiring to witness individuals who are actively taking on these challenges with enthusiasm and determination. Marco Laan and Laurens Rutten, it was great meeting you today. #DairyFarming #Innovation #IndustryChallenges

"Our goal is to create solutions that are as unique as the farms themselves." 🌾 #MemberMonday Spotlight 🌾As we delve into the theme of 'Optimising the One versus Managing the Many', we highlight three of our innovative members pushing the boundaries of precision agriculture to create holistic, collaborative systems. ☝️ So says David Newton Technical Product Manager at Timac Agro UK, which focuses on precision and individualised nutrient management to optimise soil health and productivity, demonstrating the benefits of tailored treatments. And how lessons from the sea can improve plant and animal resilience... https://lnkd.in/ebwAGhws 🔍 Mike Gooding of AHDB - Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board states, “We are operating in a world with changing demands on farmers.” AHDB emphasises a holistic approach to food production, focusing on research that aligns with farmers’ immediate needs and long-term goals. Their horizon scanning identifies direction of travel and priorities in the crop and livestock sectors: https://lnkd.in/eQTKj-BX 🌍 Phil Taylor from Bayer underscores the importance of collaboration in regenerative agriculture, illustrating how partnerships across the value chain can drive innovative solutions for sustainable farming: https://lnkd.in/eGvbimqq To unpack this theme - where does the balance lie between optimising the One versus managing the Many, join us next week at #REAP2024.

🌱 Innovating Sustainable Agriculture with Black Soldier Fly Larvae 🐛 At Big Dutchman AG, we are proud to showcase our ongoing collaboration with the DIL Deutsches Institut für Lebensmitteltechnik e. V. Technology and other partners in developing sustainable solutions for the agricultural industry. Our latest video highlights a seven-year partnership dedicated to enhancing the sustainability of farming practices through the innovative use of black soldier fly larvae. In the EU-funded Evelin project, we demonstrate the incredible benefits of using insect larvae for protein supply in laying hens. Not only does this practice lead to increased egg production, but it also significantly reduces cannibalism among the hens. Our partnership with FarmInsect and other key stakeholders underscores our commitment to driving positive change in agriculture. Join us in leading the way toward a more sustainable future in agriculture. Watch the video to learn more about our initiatives. #SustainableAgriculture #InsectProtein #BlackSoldierFly #BigDutchman #BetterInsectSolutions #EvelinProject #AgricultureInnovation #FarmersFirst #Sustainability #EggProduction #AnimalWelfare
