American mushroom farming is dominated by a single species and one 6,000 person town in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Andrew Carter and Smallhold are changing that. On the most recent episode of New Food, we explored how and why. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/dNyUfvSS

For weeks now we have not been consistent with our post! . Hmm we miss you guys so much, it’s been work and research for months, we are REAL farmers so it takes time and research work to give you fact that is backup with proof . So far this year through our research work, we have sold over 15,000 large and medium snails from our farm . We are specialize in raising some of the healthiest snails, utilizing cutting-edge technology to significantly reduce their growth periods. . Traditional snail farming often involves long cultivation times, which can span several months or even years. . However, our innovative approach leverages advanced breeding techniques, optimized nutrition, and controlled environments to accelerate growth without compromising the health and quality of your snail. . We do by implementing the precise climate control system, by ensuring that our snails thrive in ideal condition, enhancing their metabolic rates and growth efficiency. . Our use of scientifically formulated feeds provides the essential nutrients necessary for optimal development, promoting faster growth while maintaining high levels of health and vitality. . Our online course and mentorship class is still open to learn snail farming from the very best, send us a Dm now let’s discuss the snail 🐌 farming money. . #snailfarming #sustainability #snailfarming #agribusiness #giantafricanlandsnail #jumbosnails

We all know what’s wrong with the world, but what about what’s good? There is a huge amount worth celebrating and I’ll be sharing some of that with you in my new book “Islands In A Common Sea: Stories of Farming, Fishing and Food Around the World” which will be published on the 12th March by Meze Publishing Limited #islandsinacommonsea https://lnkd.in/eYG5KBGq

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗮! Ever wondered how 𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗦 are made? 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝟮 I kept getting questions on my post yesterday about how pearls are made. I will respond to these questions here! 1. Do they die when the pearls are removed? ⚡ This depends on how the pearl is removed. If the shell of the mollusk (oyster or mussel) is completely opened to harvest the pearls, it will results in the death of the animal because; 🪄 The strong adductor muscles that hold the two shells together would be severed. 🪄 The soft body of the mollusk is now exposed. 🪄 In the process of opening the shell and extracting the pearls, the delicate internal organs of the mollusk gets damaged beyond repair. 🪄 Without its shell and with its body tissues compromised, the mollusk cannot survive outside of its natural marine environment. Now, pearl farming and cultivation techniques have been developed to harvest pearls without killing the mollusks every time as seen in the first part of the video. 2. What if the irritants are more than one? ⚡This is quite simple. Then you have more than one pearls as seen in the second half of the video💃💃 P.S. Do you know the fleshy part of these mollusk are eaten? Have you tried one before? P.S.S Enjoying this series,  give it a repost! I still remain the 𝗔𝗤𝗨𝗔 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗘𝗡 and you can ask me anything about fish, I will try to answer. ----------------------------------------- I still offer a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 30-min consultation call where you can discuss starting or scaling up your fish farming business! #fishchronicles   #fishcoach #sustainability #Aquaculture #blueeconomy

Entomophagy, or the practice of eating insects, is still considered a niche culinary choice in many parts of the world 🌎 However, several countries are increasingly embracing it, with insects beginning to appear on restaurant menus 🍽️ The article below explores the numerous benefits of incorporating insects into the human diet and examines the key barriers to adopting insect-based foods, particularly in Western countries.

April 30th 2024, Southern Curious Cockies, Balfour, Southland The group visited a farm exploring crossing dairy breeds to find their ideal animal; smaller, good production and invisible in the mob (no problems). An interesting conversation explored the difference between BW and following pedigrees when choosing breeding stock. This difference makes a significant impact on production, however, a high producing, low BW herd will always be second fiddle to a high BW, low producing herd in the sharemilking game. I find it surprising how many farmers who consider themselves conventional questioning industry advice. We also looked at a property where grazing management had wobbled causing a lot of mature feed and discussed management options to get on top of that. We had a good look at Kiwitech trough systems as stock water was an issue.

Bite Size Cheese Fact: more into Plant Molecular Farming Imagine plants growing animal-derived things, sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, right? Well, buckle up buttercup, because what I'm about to tell you is going to blow your mind 🤯 Plant molecular farming, aka our techology 💁♀️ is a technique where scientists can transform plants into tiny factories, producing things like proteins found in milk and eggs (we are doing casein). Simply put: imagine downloading a casein recipe directly into the plant DNA! This could be a game-changer for both animal welfare and sustainable food production. 👍 Like for more! #PlantMolecularFarming #Cheese #Casein
