Food Safety and its Relationship with Technology

 
Today, food safety is an issue that affects the entire production and logistics chain in the food industry. With globalization, food travels thousands of kilometers and can carry contagion of dangerous diseases.
However, there is an aspect that is little discussed and yet, in recent times, has been acquiring greater importance. Despite all the traceability standards, hygiene and safety rules...

Agricultural Waste: What to Do with It?

 
Agricultural residuals
The agricultural sector is increasingly technical and industrialized, and that generates a large amount of agricultural waste. Whether it is protection materials, plastic sheets for greenhouses, plastics to cover grass, cans of phytosanitary products, oils and motor elements, water and fertilizers, etc; all of them end up being agricultural waste.
In this post, we are...

Hormones as Intermediaries in the Assembly of the Vegetable Microbiome

Both the interior and exterior of plants are populated by specific microorganisms and often selectively assembled into huge communities, called microbiota. Among these are bacteria and fungi, with neutral, beneficial or pathogenic interactions between them, forming the microbiome.
The adaptable effects of the plant microbiome can be divided into two: Improving the environmental adaptability...

Energy as the fundamental motor for life’s development

Living beings are living energy that vibrates between each other. Each atom and molecule that compose them generates frequencies that are expressed in the environment where they live, without realizing that they are doing it.
Moreover, if we think about Earth, which is in constant motion, it generates an amount of energy and vibrations far beyond what we can imagine, which conceives, for...

In Search of Healthy Technologies in Agriculture

Agriculture is currently experiencing many changes. The significant increase in the demand for healthy, nutritious food, and increasing population, has put our farmers on alert to meet this need.
While agricultural production has increased over the years, it has not always been in a “clean” way. “Conventional” agriculture sometimes abuses the use of pesticides, fertilizers and...

Pre-harvesting factors that could affect fruit quality.

Keeping the crops in perfect condition and ensuring that they guarantee an optimal development of agricultural production is necessary to enjoy a good harvest and that it remains in good condition for a longer period of time. In this article, we will review the importance of pre-harvest of different crops to later enjoy an optimal post-harvest.
Why is pre-harvest important to get good crops?...

The Importance of Technology in Sustainable Agriculture

Nowadays, agriculture faces the great challenge of increasing productivity due to the rising demand of food worldwide. The efficiency in hydric and natural resources usage, climate change adaptation, respecting of the environment where the crops will take place, and the farmer’s cooperation within the decision-making process are a set of factors that, if executed correctly, will allow a...

Biophysics of the Plant Kingdom

Biophysics is a science in which biology and physics converge, thus explaining biological processes complicated with physical phenomenon. In 1920, it questioned because biological systems do not follow the second law of thermodynamics but in a world where entropy never decreases, two cells could form an organism fully organized. Furthermore, Schrödinger wrote his book called What is Life,...

Kyminasi Plant Booster, Biophysics Applied to Agriculture

Any adverse effects including negative leaf water balance, turgor loss, chlorophyll degradation, and down-regulation of photosynthesis through affecting stomatal functioning and restricting the supply of carbon dioxide (Zhou et al. 2017). Cell enlargement, leaf expansion, root and shoot development, dry...
