Inside the high-tech farm in New Jersey where Instagram’s favorite strawberries grow: Oishii’s luxury strawberries can cost upwards of $15 a package. A new robotic indoor farm could make them more accessible. The most delicious strawberry I’ve ever tasted came from my grandparent’s garden, in Sofia, Bulgaria. It was the size of a gummy, looked like a woodland ruby, and tasted like it had grown in the Swiss Alps. The second-best strawberry came from a vertical farm in New Jersey. It was the color of a white nectarine, sweet and delicate, and it was picked by a robot. http://dlvr.it/T9YVFB

Breath | Warmth | NatureBreath | Warmth | Nature Outdoor cooking and picnic without knives and forks. One wellcare team used bamboo to make cutlery, including bowls, chopsticks, plates, mugs, and pots, from cutting bamboo culms to size and shape, engraving, sanding, and cleaning each piece. The other team took on the task of creating a fire. They skillfully arranged the tinder in the center of the fire bed, forming a teepee structure with small sticks and twigs. A gap was left to add the cotton pads and a few pieces of recycled paper, soaked in oil, to ignite the fire. Once the fire was ready, we collectively prepared a meal in the bamboo pot, taking full advantage of the campfire. We also made bannock on a stick, immersing ourselves in the experience of early humans hunting and cooking in the wild. After 2 hours of hard work, the food was ready - a testament to our teamwork and dedication. TOPIC #10: Imagine the Wellcare team preparing for our outdoor cooking adventure. Have you ever tasted food cooked in a bamboo pot? It's a unique experience. Try it for yourself! #wellcaremonthlytopic #breathwarmnature #wellcare #4DDWF #climatechange #bestbedclimatedesign #bbcdesign #carearoundyou

These holes, called fenestrations, give the plant a unique and exotic appearance. Easy to Propagate: One fun aspect of Monstera Deliciosa is its ease of propagation. You can grow new plants from stem cuttings, making it a great choice for beginner gardeners or anyone looking to expand their plant collection.

Discover the myriad innovations within the coconut value chain, spanning from versatile products like cooking oil, body oil, cooking cream, and powder. Today, let's delve into a particularly fascinating aspect: the COIR ROPE. Far from being relegated to business catalogs or niche markets, coir rope is flourishing in the contemporary e-commerce landscape. Its robustness finds myriad applications, such as in gardening where coir-based geo-textiles offer unparalleled durability, protecting lawns and preventing erosion. These geo-textiles shield gardens from the ravages of storms, securing flowers and vegetable patches from being washed away. The resilience of coir fiber extends beyond gardens; it is increasingly sought after in automotive upholstery for its ability to withstand scratches and eliminate odors. Vehicles adorned with coir upholstery not only look more appealing but also exude a pleasant aroma. The enduring appeal of coir rope, once favored for fishing nets centuries ago, remains relevant today due to its exceptional strength. Utilized in various products, coconut fiber, the primary waste product from coconut cultivation, continues to drive the expansion of the coir market globally. Consider this: the world produces over 30 million tons of coconut annually, with coir playing a pivotal role in numerous industries. This underlines the enduring significance and boundless potential of coir within the global market landscape. #Limitlessinnovationaroundagriculture#coconutvaluechain#

'Dieback is conical'.. Something I never knew but learned from the brilliant Dave Morris, of Ancre Hill Vineyard in Wales, who guides the #biodynamic practice at Winding Wood and joined us for pruning last month. Winter pruning is one of the most important moments in a vineyard. Every cut affects not only the coming year, but also the years ahead. Working to a 3-year plan with a pair of secateurs takes some concentration! Choosing the best cane for fruiting, creating spurs in the right place for year 2, and at Winding Wood, moving from double to single guyot over a period of seasons. Pruning for 'controlled dieback' to reduce the height and spread of the vine (thereby improving sap flow and fruitfulness) involves considered, measured cuts that allow the vine to reroute its energy into living wood. This 'gentle pruning' technique is gaining traction in #organicwines and #sustainable vineyards across the world. Proper pruning is time consuming, labour intensive, mentally complex work that often gets delegated (necessarily) to hired workforce groups. In larger vineyards, working on speed rather than spec is sometimes the only choice but it serves as further kudos to Winding Wood that every vine is nutured in this way. Time (and weather!) will tell how it plays out in the wines of the future, but one thing is certain; exceptional wines are borne of exceptional vineyards, and Winding Wood already delivers on both. #biodiversity #englishwine #pruning #vineyards #ecology #ecosystemrestoration

FROM ESTATE TO PLATE. With a 326 acres estate and a rich history of being the wealthy family Marqués de la Torre´s pantry in foregone centuries, it made all the sense to celebrate our 10 year anniversary with the project "Vegetable Garden & Tree Regeneration". Throughout the summer, our guests have been enjoying luxuries such as tomatoes, egg plants (lots of them) and green peppers grown directly in the Castell Estate cutting out intermediates and transport time and giving our culinary team prime materia to deliver the "Best from our Mediterranean Estate to your Plate". Gardening is hard, unpredictable and time-consuming and we are now so much more respectful of our ancestors and what they achieved under more difficult circumstances. We are also fully appreciating our amazing collaboration with the agricultural team at the local charity Esment. Without their help, knowledge and expertise it would not have been possible already in year 1 to achieve (in between other): 40 kg of peppers various sorts 96 kg of eggplants 110 kg of tomatoes various sorts 800 kg of lemons 123 litres of olive oil In a recent article from the local newspaper Mallorca Zeitung´s gastro journalist Martina Zender speaks to a number of local chefs including our Sa Clastra gourmet chef Jordi Cantó about growing their own produce for their restaurants. Jordi says: "It is a wonderful feeling to develop dishes with your own product. And we can work even more individually. For example, we use different varieties of tomatoes and peppers depending on the dish". We will continue to honour our heritage with the the "ESTATE TO PLATE" concept in years to come. For 2024, we will be focusing on the aesthetic of our garden and hopefully also add the compost element using kitchen leftovers to enrich the soil and land and at the same time reduce our waste. #lhwtraveler #mallorca #farmtotable #cuisine #localproduce #localpride #luxuryhotels #sustainabilityinitiatives #sustainabledevelopment

Hand pruning remains quite common in vineyards, particularly ones that feature challenging terrains such as steep hills and narrow rows. As labor costs and labor scarcity remain a challenge, it's important to find solutions to cut down on time spent pruning without compromising pruning quality. Last year, we conducted an extensive trial in California wine grapes to uncover how efficient the right electric pruning shears were compared to traditional manual shears. The results were astounding, and this year, our vineyard managers we work with affirmed last year's trial results with further statistics regarding efficiency and cost savings. Would you like to be 60-120% more efficient in cane and spur pruning? Would you like to save 9-20% per vine in cane and spur pruning? To inquire about a demo, trial data, or more information regarding the F3020 Electric Pruning Shears, reach out to sales@cypressagritech.com or visit our website https://lnkd.in/gjJgcJkx #CypressAg #AgTech #Pruning #Vineyard #Viticulture #California #LaborSolutions #Infaco #SpurPruning #CanePruning #PruningTech
