Agricultural technology is using technology in agriculture, horticulture, and aquaculture to improve yield, efficiency, and profitability. In this video, we're deep-diving into the fertile fields of tech and agriculture the future of farming. Get ready to witness how groundbreaking technology revolutionizes farming practices, from the seeds sown to the crops harvested!

Agriculture technology, often referred to as "AgTech" or "agricultural technology," encompasses a wide range of innovative solutions, tools, and practices that aim to enhance the efficiency, productivity, sustainability, and profitability of agricultural processes and systems. It involves the integration of modern technologies, such as information technology, data analytics, automation, biotechnology, and more, into various aspects of agriculture to address the challenges and opportunities faced by the global farming community.

Precision farming involves the use of sensors, drones, satellites, and GPS technology to collect and analyze data related to soil composition, moisture levels, weather patterns, and crop health. By gathering real-time information, farmers can make informed decisions about when to plant, irrigate, fertilize, and harvest, thereby minimizing waste and maximizing yields.

Robotic technology is revolutionizing labor-intensive tasks in agriculture. Robots can plant seeds, and weed fields, apply pesticides precisely, and even harvest crops. Automation reduces the need for manual labor, which is increasingly scarce and expensive in many regions.

With the growing challenges of land scarcity and changing climate patterns, vertical and indoor farming systems have emerged. These systems utilize controlled environments, artificial lighting, and efficient space utilization to grow crops in vertically stacked layers or indoor facilities, allowing year-round production and reduced dependency on traditional agricultural land.

The future of farming is undergoing a technological revolution that promises increased efficiency, sustainability, and resilience in the face of global challenges. AgTech solutions are not only changing the way food is produced but also fostering a more interconnected and data-driven agricultural landscape, ensuring that we can feed the world's growing population while safeguarding our planet's resources.

Tech in Agriculture: The Future of Farming

[reasonsforhope]

“Across America, more than 20 state legislatures are looking over proposed laws that would help guarantee citizens’ access to parts, instructions, and diagnoses to help them repair products—from smartphones to tractors—in their own homes.

Called the “Right to Repair” movement, it’s been growing in urgency and size since the turn of the millennium, and 2023 could be the first year in many where the DIY capability of the American consumer grew, rather than diminished.

In Colorado, a bill was passed along party lines in the State House 9-4, mandating that tractor and other farm equipment manufacturers provide enough parts and instructions to allow farmers to repair their own tractors.

“The manufacturers and the dealers have a monopoly on that repair market because it’s lucrative,” said Rep. Brianna Titone, a Democrat and one of the bill’s sponsors. “(Farmers) just want to get their machine going again.”

Certain dealers like John Deere (previously) and Steiger don’t allow, as part of the buying agreement, fixes at home, but as an article in the Miami Herald points out, repairmen aren’t on call 24-7 in the high plains of Colorado. One farmer had to wait 5 days for a service on his tractor that stopped during a crucial period in the growing season, where he could have been losing as much as $83,000 a day.

Right to Repair farming legislation is on the table or has already passed in 10 states in the Union, including Colorado, but also Florida, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, Texas, and Vermont...

It’s not just tractors that are potentially becoming easier to fix at home, but automobiles as well.

This January, the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair Act was introduced into the House.

“The legislation would require all tools and equipment, wireless transmission of repair and diagnostic data, and telematics systems needed for vehicle repairs to be made available to the independent repair industry,” writes Automotive News.

The bill has come to the House after similar legislation was passed in Massachusetts and Maine, where lawmakers wanted to beef up the right-to-repair and aftermarket auto parts industry, especially regarding telematic data and other information from onboard computers.

Just as it wasn’t only tractors and farmers who felt their right to DIY repairs needed protecting, it isn’t only mechanical engineering where right-to-repair is flourishing.

The New York state Senate signed the Digital Fair Repair Act into law in the dying days of December, ensuring original equipment manufacturers make parts, instructions, and diagnostics data available to anyone looking to repair a device, such as a smartphone or tablet.

“As technology and smart devices become increasingly essential to our daily lives, consumers should be able to easily fix the devices they rely on in a timely fashion,” Governor Kathy Hochul said. “This legislation will empower consumers with better options to repair their devices, thereby maximizing the lifespan of their devices, saving money, and reducing electronic waste.” ...

“After a decade of trying, we get two [state laws] in a very short period of time,” Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit, told Axios.

“Every single day, I’m seeing a couple more states file a new bill. And I think we’re going to be over 20 states very soon and those bills are moving.”

There’s also something to be said for the ultimate end which consumers of many of these irreparable items are forced to make for them; they end up in landfills. E-waste is a potentially-catastrophic oncoming environmental problem since it doesn’t really biodegrade in any meaningful sense, and recycling it requires technical dismantling.

The right-to-repair is also equally about keeping easily-fixable devices out of the landfills.”

I feel like there is a strong correlation to Frank Hubert’s initial subtext with Dune (its islamic religious themes, a premise setting an empire against local populaces, the attention towards ecological developments in desert environments with a bias towards temperate zones from outsiders wanting to “enrich” the land), and all of the recent developments in Gaza and its history, both with the original influences to Hubert’s novel and the timing of a blockbuster adaptation happening while international focus grows towards Palestine, that is going unmentioned outside of the usual jokes and memes

[personal-blog243]

This is also the reason older generations say younger generations don’t know how to fix things!

one thing about me is that i am constantly thinking about how saiyans are ambush predators, as opposed to the persistence predators we humans are, and how much of the cultural gap that explains.

National Debt 2023: $31.5 Trillion

(Just to give a little perspective, One Trillion = A Thousand Billions)

Cost of "Green New Deal" (annually):

$6.6 Trillion - $9.3 Trillion

COVID-19 Spending (so far):

$4.5 Trillion

Money Sent to Ukraine:

$100 Billion (so far)

COVID-19 Vaccine, total spending (so far):

Over $30 Billion

And we haven't even added in what's being spent on military actions and conflicts outside Ukraine, and the other endless evils the government is spending our money on ...

We the people, pay this debt to the banking cartels so they can continue to buy off our elected officials, maintain the status quo, and deepen the misery of us "Deplorables".

Please Let That Sink In !!!

What Are the Advantages of Zero Tillage?

Zero tillage farming reduces soil erosion by reducing the amount of soil disturbance and runoff. And it increases the amount of organic matter in the soil, increasing its capacity to hold water and nutrients. Also, zero tillage farming reduces the amount of weed pressure because there is less soil disturbance, and it reduces the fuel needed for farming operations, reducing costs. It improves the design of the soil, which can improve drainage and reduce compaction. If you want to buy it, visit our website. We’re one of the leading manufacturers in India.

Okay, so I'd like to delve more on the Vestals being plant-like. You mentioned they use photosynthesis through their skin, so tactile-wise, would they feel similar to that of a plant or a mammal's? You also mentioned something about them being more built for sprint-hunting? So does that mean Vestals hunt like Earth's cheetahs do? I tried googling what sprint-hunting was, but the results gave me non-answers. Lastly, if Vestal diets are meat-focused, what dishes do they cook, and which of Vestal's fauna is used as livestock.

I think their skin feels mammalian, but the fine hairs on their skin (like the fine hairs humans have) are more... feelable? Like how you can tell if a leaf has little needly hairs. Hairy leaves feel very hairy, if that makes sense?

That comes from LiterallyThePresident on AO3 (they have a tumblr, under a different name, but I'm not sure if they're ok with having their tumblr mentioned =v=;;), who wrote the Connection series. In that, specifically the medical focused Beat, we find out that LTP's Vestals have two hearts and smaller lungs. The two hearts would suggest more circulation than a human (an endurance hunter), which is perfect for sprinting and still getting blood/oxygen to the body's cells so they function.

Sprint hunters don't stalk their prey for miles until they're exhausted like Endurance hunters do. Instead they stalk up close, preferably camoflaged, and then sprint at their prey, either to catch them off guard, or give chase to their prey (of which is likely fast enough for an actual chase.) I wouldn't say they're as bad at hunting as cheetahs are (low percentage of successful hunts), but that's down to the fact that they could make tools decently easily given opposable thumbs.

As for livestock... hard to say. Vestal itself is a ecumenopolis, a singular city that encases a whole planet, and aerial images in scenes show very little grass. The most grass Vestal has is seemingly on Klaus' small floating island. But, there are huge reservoirs easily visible. One or two might be dedicated to aquatic fauna?

Current Vestals probably thrive on synthetic (but close to the source as possible) meats of ancient prey species, and whatever Vestals oceans had (whale, fish, turtle, crab, so on so forth.)

Honestly vestals would go mad for scampi, fish soup, and calamari, amongst other seafood-based dishes.

auni, i hope you're having a blast at the new place! agricultural science sounds.. unique? like, i'm in a country where agriculture is not primarily focused on by the government and i know that many people here tend to overlook the importance of it? haha idk, it is my first time hearing someone pursuing agricultural science :0

anon!! gosh, i am quite fascinated by your ask, since, yes, agriculture in general is overlooked or looked down by the society.

even at my place (although i would say that we are quite efficient in fisheries, providing some livestock for food, plantation of crops, etc.), some would question my decision for pursuing agricultural science and it's getting really frustrating to explain that i am actually taking pure science like normal people taking foundation in science (eg: biology, chemistry and physics) but the only thing that differs us from other science students out there is our additional subject; agriculture.

i personally love agriculture subject (shocking, actually, since i thought that i wouldn't) since it acts as our stress reliever in a way? it doesn't require us to think or calculate, just straight up going out around all farms at my uni and learn hands-on about cattles, crops, aquaculture, etc.

we have agriculture practical every week and it is honestly so fun!! plus, my uni is the biggest in my country and we are ranked in the top 150 all over the world because of agricultural researches that have been done here so it is quite an experience to know about how food comes from and how it is processed and all. sometimes, i just feel the sudden urge to go on tiktok and explain our course to the people who are oblivious about where does the food come from when agriculture itself plays a major role in the production lmaooo

i am under a scholarship for bachelor of veterinary medicine next year. so, agricultural science is like my pre-uni stage for me to get in to my dream course!! also, i couldn't wait to go to the cattle farm and chocolate factory next week for our practical!!! the seniors told us once that going there is so fun, aaa i'm so excited ><
