The company’s product promises to reduce nitrogen fertilizer dependency, offering farmers economic and environmental benefits.

This partnership involves designing and developing a biogas plant to international standards, creating organic fertilizer products, and establishing a sales channel for these products.

The research has uncovered that streams in agricultural areas emit significant amounts of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, primarily due to nitrification processes in agricultural soils.

Vietnam, which has already sold 10.3 million forestry carbon credits through the World Bank is aiming to build up on its success.

Bio-based materials derived from non-food organic waste are increasingly essential in reducing coatings’ environmental impact. Some of these materials even produce by-products that could be used as fertilizers.

Green Shero Ltd. addresses waste management by recycling waste into useful products. The company processes 15 tonnes of waste monthly, categorizing it into various grades for different uses: selling, crafting, or composting into organic fertilizers known as Ekirisa.

This free app helps small-scale farmers manage their data for better business and environmental outcomes. The app assists in operations like achieving organic certification, managing sustainability grants, and estimating greenhouse gas emissions.

The lawsuit argues the pollution has caused significant environmental damage, including harmful algae growth. Despite improvements claimed by the poultry industry, the state contends that ongoing and historical waste practices continue to harm the watershed.

The $1.2 billion project, led by QatarEnergy, aims to produce 1.2 million tons of low-carbon ammonia annually, leveraging electricity from a new solar power plant.

Umaro, known for its seaweed-derived protein products, and Sway, which specializes in seaweed-based bioplastics, aim to leverage seaweed’s regenerative properties and minimal resource needs to create environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional plastics.

This project will employ nuclear techniques to develop sustainable farming practices and combat the global issue of salt-affected soils, which currently impact approximately 932 million hectares worldwide. The project aims to test the effectiveness of different soil additives, including the mineral polyhalite, to enhance soil health and crop productivity.

Farmers will be taxed based on the greenhouse gases their livestock produce, with initial charges set at $43 per tonne of CO2-equivalent, increasing to $107 by 2035. However, significant tax relief will initially reduce these charges.

A new app, “Producer Connect,” has been launched to help farmers report and analyze fertilizer use, compare their practices with peers, and identify cost-saving opportunities while protecting groundwater. Overapplication of nitrogen has long been a problem, contributing to unsafe nitrate levels in drinking water.

The presence of dangerous chemicals, including a banned pesticide, has been detected in air samples in central western New South Wales, raising health and environmental concerns.
