As the system is scalable and non-site specific, the technology has the potential to be used not just in further sites across Vietnam, but globally, and the team is actively seeking new partners to help them realise its full potential.

The project, funded by Aus4Innovation and part of UTS Rapido Vietnam, employs the latest Industry 4.0 technologies such as Internet of Things, data analytics, and mechatronics.

“Aquaculture is an important industry in Vietnam, generating an income of AUD$11 billion per year. But while it can have rich economic rewards for farmers and the regions they live in, it can be a precarious livelihood,” says Professor Eryk Dutkiewicz, the chief investigator of the project at UTS.

The system, launched in March 2020, monitors temperature, acidity, ammonia, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and turbidity, providing real-time data to farmers. The advanced technology withstands harsh conditions, offering alerts for timely decision-making. The monitoring stations, the first of its kind in Vietnam, are now permanent fixtures in the bay.

Mr Le Tan Ho is Vice President of Phu Yen province and was impressed with both the UTS team and the results of the project. He says the information it has provided has been invaluable for decision making.

“The data from the realtime seawater monitoring system allows the local government to assess and better plan aquaculture and other activities like tourism towards the sustainable social and economic development goals while protecting environment and coping with global climate changes, especially in coastal areas,” says Mr Le Tan Ho.

The research team hopes the application of IoT platforms for coastal water system management in Phú Yên will just be the start.

Global Methane Hub Announces the Enteric Fermentation Research & Development Accelerator, a $200M Agricultural Methane Mitigation Funding Initiative

Leave a comment

The Largest-Ever Globally Coordinated Funding Investment in Livestock Methane Mitigation Research Announced at the COP28 Business & Philanthropy Climate Forum

The public, private and philanthropic partnership includes Bezos Earth Fund, Quadrature Climate Fund, Gerstner Philanthropies, High Tide Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Zegar Family Foundation, Danone and more

DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, at COP28, the Global Methane Hub (GMH) announced a more than $200 million funding initiative between public, private and philanthropic partners including the Bezos Earth Fund, Quadrature Climate Fund, Gerstner Philanthropies, High Tide Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Zegar Family Foundation, Danone, the Governments of Ireland, New Zealand and the United States, for research and development (R&D) technologies to meaningfully address and reduce methane emissions from livestock. 

The Enteric Fermentation R&D Accelerator, or Accelerator, is the largest-ever, globally coordinated investment of breakthrough research tackling livestock methane emissions. The Global Methane Hub announced the intention to establish the Accelerator at COP27 as an AIM for Climate Innovation Sprint. The Accelerator will unite funders, guided by a science oversight committee, to invest in a globally coordinated research plan. This strategy aims to address gaps in current research and enhance existing efforts. The strategy includes work on exploring new and alternate livestock feed additives, tools to breed low-methane livestock, immunological studies for a methane vaccine, understanding the organisms in the rumen and their functions, and lowering the costs of measurement, essential to generate evidence for regulatory approval and validation of mitigation technologies.

About 40% of the world’s methane emissions come from agriculture, and 70% of that is due to enteric fermentation. This process happens in cows’ digestive systems when sugars are broken down into methane and released through belching. Unfortunately, current research on enteric fermentation is not extensive or coordinated enough to provide efficient and transformative solutions to significantly benefit farmers.

This is the latest milestone to mark the impact GMH is having on global methane reduction efforts since its founding in December 2021.

“The Accelerator is a prime example of the role philanthropy can play in driving substantive climate action and strategically aligning the key players working to solve the most pressing issue of our time,” said Hayden Montgomery, Agriculture Program Director at the Global Methane Hub. “With this effort to synchronize and consolidate public-good research on enteric methane, we aim to make multiple solutions to reduce enteric methane available quickly and provide proof of the efficacy of livestock mitigation technologies.”

“We know that cattle are responsible for most agricultural methane emissions. Promising technological and scientific solutions exist, but for too long, monetary and regulatory barriers have slowed progress and prevented critical research,” said Andy Jarvis, Director of Future of Food at the Bezos Earth Fund. “The Global Methane Hub’s Enteric Methane R&D Accelerator stands to change all of this, unlocking the resources needed to discover and develop low-cost solutions that will dramatically reduce methane emissions from livestock by 2030.”

“Through the Accelerator, we are poised to make a significant impact in driving innovation towards solutions to reduce enteric methane globally,” said Richard Lawrence, director and co-founder of High Tide Foundation. “I would like to thank Danone for stepping up as the first corporation committed to the Accelerator and I encourage others to do the same.”

“As a dairy company, curbing methane emissions is the fastest and most impactful way to slow down global warming,” said Olivier Verdelet, Vice-President Agriculture Cycle at Danone. “To do so, collaboration will be instrumental as we seek for new solutions, speed and sizable impacts. We are eager to collaborate with the Global Methane Hub and other partners to accelerate and test scalable innovations in the field. We believe this will help us build a sustainable, future-fit dairy category that is at the core of our mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible.”

Agricultural methane is projected to increase 40% by 2050. We would have to reduce emissions by 50% in order to meet the accords of the Paris Agreement to keep the global temperature rise to a maximum of 1.5 degrees Celsius. Reducing methane emissions from all sectors, including agriculture, is the fastest way to mitigate climate change.

Guizhou writes a new chapter of rural revitalization with big data technology

Leave a comment

GUIYANG, China, May 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by Huanqiu.com: Guizhou is writing a new chapter of rural revitalization via the integration of big data and agriculture. Each of more than 400 cows wears an “ear stud” on their ears in the breeding farm of Guizhou Zhenghuakun Breeding Co., Ltd. According to Zhao Xiping, head of the company, such stud is an intelligent ear tag that records information of each cow, such as the date of birth, sex, weight and “family tree”.

“This is a mode of live-data-based credit. Beef cattle can be identified, located, tracked, monitored and managed with IoT sensing devices. Banks can better analyze industrial big data and manage risk control of the whole industrial chain, and then feel relieved to lend us money. In a word, loan, supervision, and repayment are related to cattle.” Zhao Xiping said with a smile on his face.

In the past, Zhao Xiping was troubled by the difficult or slow lending of banks. He explained that since the growth of cattle is not absolutely controllable but affected by possible diseases and natural disasters, the traditional mortgage financing model is inevitably contradictory with the property rights structure of agricultural subjects. With the help of big data, Zhenghuakun has grown its scale from more than 20 cattle to more than 400 cattle in recent years.

Now, big data are taking root and acting everywhere in Guizhou. Since a big data center was built for prickly ash in Guanling Autonomous County, farmers can use their mobile phones to monitor the whole growth process of prickly ash in real time, greatly improving the planting efficiency of prickly ash; Dailucao Township has become the first rural live broadcast pilot township in Suiyang County, so that Wenshan yellow peaches were sold out within 15 days…

The person in charge of Guizhou Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs indicated that the collection and analysis results of big data on agricultural data have been gradually applied in an innovative manner in various links such as planting, breeding, processing, logistics and marketing. Big data are slowly changing the traditional agriculture model of relying on experience and weather, and promoting the competitive advantages of agricultural products obviously.

There are more than 1,000 local digital sales platforms in Guizhou such as “ONE MA Guizhou” at the front end, “Cloud Warehouse of Guizhou Products” logistics infrastructure integrating province, city, county township and village at the middle end, and smart agricultural cloud platforms at the back end. Guizhou has actively explored digitalization of the whole chain of agricultural products, and extended digital technology from the “table” on the consumption side to the “land” on the production side.

In 2022, the total output value of agriculture, forestry, husbandry, and fishery reached 490.88 billion yuan in Guizhou, up by 4.1% YoY, including 331.37 billion yuan of the total agricultural output, up by 3.5% YoY. According to the plan, in Guizhou by 2025, the digitalization level of agriculture will be significantly improved, the development of agricultural big data, smart agriculture and rural e-commerce accelerated, and the integrated development level index of big data and agriculture increased from 39.8 in 2020 to 45. With booming industries and enriching people, Guizhou is accelerating rural revitalization in the new era.

Conservis Adds New Budgeting Module in Response to Requests by Farmers

Leave a comment

Integrating feedback from bankers, CPAs, and growers, Budgeting simplifies financial planning

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Conservis, a global leader in farm management software solutions (FMS), launches a new Budgeting module based on client requests. Consistent with the company’s focus on listening to feedback from growers and developing tools to tie financials and operations together, Budgeting brings a streamlined approach to the aggregation of farm activities and financials.

It empowers farmers to:

  • Save time and reduce stress when creating budgets and plans for next year.
  • Develop stronger budgets and plans with more realistic profitability predictions.
  • Access data necessary for smoother processes while working with lenders.
  • Easily get quotes for products with an input shopping list.
  • Manage against a budget throughout the year by seeing a clear plan vs. actual comparison.

Conservis has long provided Planning & Financials modules with extensive capabilities. Every farm operation is unique, and some growers requested a more simplified roadmap for applying financial perspectives to farm management. Conservis developers spent more than a year building a solution, including work with experts from Rabo AgriFinance and agriculture-focused CPAs to ensure Budgeting would provide financial clarity necessary for advising their clients.

Sr. Product Manager at Conservis, Don Leick, spearheaded the module development, working with farmers to best understand their needs and test the solution. Even though Budgeting is a solution for growers who want a more simplified approach to connecting farm finances, the journey from conception to completion has been intense. “It’s hard to make things easy. It takes a big investment to make a complex process simple.”

At a time when other farm management systems are scaling back investing in new features, Conservis is working alongside growers to deliver requested functionality. The beta testers for Budgeting speak to the ease of use and like the intuitive wizard approach of the module. Jeff Deeds of Empire Prairie says, “It’s nice we can start out with a generic plan then go back and edit easily.”

As Conservis continues to grow and develop solutions for farmers, the company looks to produce further enhancements that help make farming easier and more profitable.

About Conservis

Conservis is a global powerhouse in farm management software, providing both row and permanent crop growers the digital tools and information needed for success. The web and mobile platforms deliver comprehensive planning tools, real-time data capture, and insightful analytics to support better decision making and efficient reporting. Founded in 2009, Conservis remains dedicated to advancing the business of agriculture.
