New Sustainable Technologies being developed
Agriculture developments -
. Drone sprayers for fertilizers and pesticides can target areas close to the ground and prevent nitrous oxide from reaching the atmosphere.
. Red algae and biochar can be mixed with cattle feed to decrease methane emissions by 85 to 90%.
. No till farming and crop rotation can prevent soil erosion and lower use of fertilizer and herbicides.
. Hedgerow plantings of pollinator species can help pollination and provide a corridor for bird habitat to reduce insect pests.
. Poorer quality land for farming can be converted to a solar farm with wind turbines to generate power for the farm and as a cash source by selling surplus to the grid. Hemp and biochar can produce revenue.
. Companion planting of vegetables, mixed crops can help with soil fertility, pests and deer browsing impacts.
Sustainable Things you can do at home
Buy locally produced produce at farmers markets and grocery stores that support local farms.
Support Community Sourced Agriculture (CSAs) by using them for home produce.
Buy organic produce, fish and meat.
