As the global population continues to grow and urbanization accelerates, traditional agriculture faces a series of challenges such as land resource tension, climate change, and water shortages. In this context, vertical farms, as a new agricultural model, are gradually becoming an innovative solution to these problems due to their efficient land use and resource-saving advantages. Vertical farms can not only provide sustainable food supplies for cities but also offer a broad space for agricultural technological innovation.
Organic agriculture, as an environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural production method, has gained more and more favor among consumers. However, despite its significant ecological and health advantages, organic agriculture still faces many challenges in its global promotion. Breaking through these bottlenecks to achieve the goal of sustainable agricultural development has become an urgent issue within the industry. Fortunately, with continuous technological advancements, many innovative technologies and strategies are providing new possibilities for solving these problems.
As awareness of health and sustainability grows, organic agriculture is evolving from a niche practice to a cornerstone of the global agricultural and food industries. Whether it’s meeting consumer demand for healthier foods or addressing environmental concerns through reduced chemical inputs, organic farming delivers both economic and ecological value. However, the industry’s rapid expansion presents challenges, including high costs, technological barriers, and intense competition. How can stakeholders transform these challenges into opportunities?
The 16th Session of the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification was Held in Riyadh, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. On December 9, local time, during the conference, the China Society of Desertification Control held a side event titled Scientific and Technological Innovation in Combating Desertification Supports Green and Sustainable Development” Side Event, which showcased China's successful experiences in combating desertification and engaged in discussions with representatives from around the world on issues related to desertification control, technological innovation, and high-quality development.
In the developing world, particularly in regions dependent on rain-fed agriculture, agricultural stakeholders confront a myriad of challenges, including erratic rainfall patterns, resource scarcity, and inadequate infrastructure. These issues pose a significant threat to agricultural productivity and sustainable development, with the potential to exacerbate the impacts of climate change. It is imperative that we devise and implement innovative, cost-effective agricultural strategies to enhance productivity and sustainability in these areas.
Climate change and water scarcity pose significant challenges to traditional farming methods.
As climate change and water scarcity increasingly challenge agricultural production, organic farms in drought-prone areas are feeling the impact acutely.
Have you ever wondered why your plants aren’t thriving even though your soil looks fine? Healthy soil is the foundation for plant growth, and improving it is essential for easier, more productive gardening. Here are some effective ways to boost soil quality and keep your plants growing strong.
According to statistics and forecasts by APO Research, the global hydrogel market sales in 2023 will be approximately $1.42 billion. It is expected to grow steadily with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 5.0% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030. This growth trend is driven by the extensive application fields of hydrogels, including personal care, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and biomedicine.
Flowers play a vital role in beautifying our environment and enhancing our quality of life. However, their cultivation and care require meticulous management, especially regarding water supply. With advancements in technology, SAP Soil Hydrogel (Super Absorbent Polymers) has emerged as an innovative solution in the flower cultivation field. These modern materials not only improve planting efficiency but also significantly enhance the quality of flower growth.
Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) is a polymeric material with a three-dimensional network structure. Its molecular chains contain hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH). It is synthesized from unsaturated monomers (e.g., acrylic acid, acrylamide) through a polymerization process involving crosslinking agents and initiators, resulting in functional polymer materials. Currently, there are many market classifications such as sodium polyacrylate, potassium polyacrylate, and polyacrylamide.
As global agriculture rapidly advances, the fertilizer industry plays a crucial role in securing food safety. However, the issues of high input and low efficiency of traditional fertilizers continue to plague farmers and agricultural enterprises. The application of Super Absorbent Polymers (SAP) offers a breakthrough solution for the fertilizer market, enhancing nutrient utilization significantly through its unique water absorption and retention capabilities, positioning it as a vital player in the future agricultural market.
