In the heart of India’s agricultural heartland, the Middle Gangetic Plain stretches across four distinct agro-climatic zones—Tarai, Eastern, North-Eastern, and Vindhyan Plains—where millions of farmers depend on seasonal rains to nourish their crops.

Farmers have long relied on soil samples sent to labs for nutrient analysis—a process that’s precise but slow and costly, especially for large operations. What if they could skip the lab and get real-time insights into soil carbon, nitrogen, and mine

In the rolling hills of France’s farmland or the vast, geometrically intricate fields of China’s agricultural heartlands, the challenge of accurately mapping farm boundaries has long been a puzzle for farmers, policymakers, and tech developers alike.

In the heart of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, a team of researchers is reimagining how we think about instant porridge—not as a convenience food alone, but as a vehicle for nutrition, sustainability, and local agriculture. Led by Agus Slamet from the Depart

In the heart of Thailand’s tropical landscapes, a small but mighty fruit called Pilangkasa (Ardisia elliptica Thunb.) is quietly gaining attention—not just for its deep purple hue or traditional uses, but for its potential as a powerhouse of natural

In the rolling hills of West Java, where chili peppers thrive under the tropical sun, a quiet battle rages unseen. Tiny whiteflies—Bemisia tabaci—are the unwitting couriers of a microscopic menace: the Pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus (PepYLCI

Farmers in tropical regions may soon have a powerful new ally in boosting sweet corn yields without relying heavily on chemical fertilizers—a bacterial consortium that promises to supercharge both crops and soil health. Research published in the Jour

Libyan poultry farmers could soon cut their energy bills—and their carbon footprint—by more than half, thanks to a new study that shows how solar power and smarter design can slash heating costs in poultry houses. Researchers from the Libyan Climate

Libya’s Al-Jafara Region, a historic hub for olive cultivation, is facing a growing climate crisis that threatens one of its most vital crops. A new study published in the Journal of Research in Agriculture and Food Sciences reveals how shifting temp

In the sun-scorched fields of arid regions, where every drop of water counts, farmers have long relied on plastic mulching to stretch their resources further. The thin sheets of polyethylene spread across the soil have become a staple in modern agric

Crop imagery is the backbone of precision agriculture, where drones, satellites, and field cameras produce vast amounts of visual data used for yield monitoring, disease detection, and sustainability audits. Yet these images rarely stay intact: a sin

Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc. (NASDAQ:RAIN) has been recognized as the recipient of "AgTech Climate Innovation of the Year" in the 7th annual AgTech Breakthrough Awards program. The award, conferred by AgTech Breakthrough, acknowledges c

FCMB’s AgriTech Alumni Impact Report marks the next phase of a programme that began in 2018 as a credit-led initiative but has evolved into a venture-builder that validates, capitalises and scales locally built agricultural technology. The document s

Agtonomy has unveiled two key updates to its autonomy stack for factory-level automation, introducing autonomous multi-point turning and expanded passive data collection across its fleet. The company does not manufacture tractors but embeds its auton

In the rural commune of Sourgou, Burkina Faso, the land is caught in a silent transformation. For nearly two decades, from 2002 to 2021, the landscape has been reshaped by human hands—expanding farms, shifting water sources, and shrinking natural spa

Farmers and agribusinesses have long relied on satellite imagery to track crop health, predict yields, and manage risks—but the data isn’t always as reliable as it seems. A new study from Quebec’s agricultural insurance authority introduces a way to

Rural Nigeria’s smallholder farmers are quietly rewriting the rules of survival. With no safety net to catch them when harvests fail, many are turning to side hustles—trading goods at local markets, weaving baskets, or running small shops—to keep the

Researchers have uncovered a hidden world of viruses and viroid-like RNAs lurking in grapevine downy mildew lesions—a discovery that could reshape how viticulture manages this costly disease. In a study published in *Virus Research*, led by Stefania

In the scorching heat of the Arabian Gulf, where temperatures can soar beyond 50°C, a hidden world of microscopic life thrives—one that could hold the key to revolutionizing industries from agriculture to pharmaceuticals. A new review published in *F

In the sun-baked fields of sub-Saharan Africa, farmers are increasingly facing a harsh reality: their crops are struggling to keep pace with a changing climate. Meanwhile, in bustling markets across the region, families are grappling with rising food
