Precision Irrigation - what is it and what ideas does Israel have to offer?
Sustainable irrigation has become a significant issue for the agricultural community. In areas of the world where water is scarce and droughts are plentiful, it is essential that tools and methods are put in place to efficiently handle water management mechanisms in farming practices. Hence the use and practice of precision irrigation. Precision irrigation is the implementation of various irrigation techniques which allow farmers to manage their resources effectively to produce an optimal harvest.
There are four methods of precision irrigation that can be integrated into an irrigation system...
Space is a new frontier for agricultural innovation to feed human populations.
BioHarvest has achieved this with red grapes, olives, and pomegranates. BioHarvest technology enables economical production of commercial biomass of unique plant-based metabolites (such as polyphenols, antioxidants, cannabinoids, terpenes, psychoactive molecules, proteins and more) without the need to grow the plant itself. As an example, with grapes, this production in the industrial scale proprietary bioreactors rather than on land creates
some 95% less physical space needed in traditional farming. Using one seven-foot bioreactor can produce what would require 240,000 square meters of land annually. Photo: BioHarvest
