Admin The technologies and applications that use blockchain to improve transparency, traceability, and security in food production and distribution, including supply chain management and digital payments. For example, implementing food product blockchain solutions to enhance trust and efficiency.
Italian ryegrass: A short lived ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) which is sown in spring and is very quick to establish. It produces good growth in its seeding year and early graze the following year, and is commonly used for short duration leys. Helps farmers choose suitable grass varieties for grazing.
protoplast: A basic cell unit in a plant formed of a nucleus and protoplasm. Helpful content: Protoplasts are essential for plant growth and development. Farmers can utilize this knowledge in plant breeding and genetic research to improve crop varieties.
International Sugar Organization: An international organization formed of sugar-exporting countries. Abbr ISO. Helps sugar farmers understand and navigate the international sugar market.
Farm to Fork: The chain of food supply from the farm where it is produced to the consumer. Understanding this chain helps farmers improve food safety, quality, and traceability.
nitrification inhibitor: a chemical product used to slow down the release of nitrate in organic manure. Nitrification inhibitors help reduce nitrogen losses from leaching and volatilization, improving nitrogen use efficiency in crops. Farmers can benefit from using nitrification inhibitors to enhance fertilizer performance, reduce environmental pollution, and increase crop productivity. Understanding the appropriate use of these products supports sustainable nitrogen management and better farm profitability.
Caraway: The seeds of a herb used as a flavoring in bread and cakes. Growing caraway provides a specialty crop for culinary use, enhancing farm product diversity.
The practice of providing information about food products on packaging. Food labeling includes details such as ingredients, nutritional information, and origin. For example, labeling organic vegetables to inform consumers about their farming practices.
eggplant: A plant with purple fruit (Solanum melongena), used as a vegetable. It is a native of tropical Asia. Also called aubergine. Growing eggplant can diversify a farmer’s crop production and provide additional income.
humid: Relating to air that contains moisture vapor. Decomposition of organic matter is rapid in hot and humid conditions. Managing humidity ensures proper crop and livestock conditions.
