Food, energy and water insecurity are ongoing concerns in East Africa, agrivoltaic systems address all three

This paper shows data for agrivoltaic systems in Tanzania and Kenya that generate power, produce food and conserve water, demonstrating their viability for both grid-tied agribusinesses and rural, off-grid projects. 

The research indicates that certain crops such as maize, Swiss chard and beans thrived in the partial shade offered by solar panels.

“The positive yield results for Swiss chard have promising implications for growing nutritious crops with agrivoltaics. The control plot was sufficiently irrigated, with yields comparable to those in a rainfed study in South Africa, so drought stress does not explain the lower yields compared to the agrivoltaic plot.

“Instead, the partial panel cover is potentially creating a more suitable growing environment by protecting the crops from heat stress and/or UV damage,” the report said. 

It notes that some crops produced more food using less water, “valuable in a region where water scarcity threatens food security, most farmers rely on rainfall for their crops, and climate change is likely to make rainfall less predictable.”

idc if you say it’s lunar new year or chinese new year but when you’re greeting someone, just say “happy new year”, not “happy chinese/lunar new year”. nobody who actually celebrates the festival will add “lunar” or “chinese” in the MIDDLE of a greeting (or you can say “happy year of the snake”!) (the effort is appreciated though c:)

“X fantasy series is so well built!” What do the people eat in it.

Did the writers come up with what they ate or did they just put vaguely European “medieval” crops and faming practices in it.

What do their houses look like. How does the world effect their daily life. What meals do they cook at the end of the day?

What fish swim in the rivers in your “amazing, unique” mushroom forest?

Amazing work everyone we can pack up and go home nothing will ever beat this post. Anyway for anyone who is curious about how to eradicate invasive plants like this colloseum without using herbicides that will kill all plant life, it's not a short process. It may be tempting to just poison the fuck out of everything and then treat the soil to prepare it to plant natives, but it's better for everything in the local ecology to take the long route.

What you wanna do is something that takes two steps and multiple seasons. You want to 1, remove all the invasive plants you can. Rip em up by the roots, then till the ground well and 2, sow a bunch of native flora densely. You want to choke out the invasive plants. You'll notice in the next growth season (usually spring or early autumn) that the invasives came back. That's gonna happen, they're invasive because they're persistent as fuck, and you dumped a fuck ton of their seeds in the ground when you weeded the previous season. Do not panic, do not give up.

Learn exactly what seedlings of the invasives you're dealing with looks like, because you want to weed them as they come up before they can flower and drop seeds. Some seeds can remain dormant in the soil for years, so you will be doing this every growth season for at least 3 years, depending on what you're dealing with. All the while keep sowing native flora densely to choke them out, it'll make sure less of the invasive seeds sprout and over time the unsprouted seeds will rot.

There are some management strategies employed by municipal services aimed at quickly dealing with invasive plants. These include controlled bush fires in the winter and the dreaded herbicides. I personally haven't seen them use any other method. The problem with both of these is that it's only a temporary fix, and they both have larger devastating effects on the local ecology.

Herbicides take out all plant life in one go, and even fuck with microorganisms and mycelial networks which are both incredibly important for healthy soil. They end up killing all the wormies and good bacteria and fungus that make sure soil is nutrient dense and well balanced, and they eliminate food sources for critters for that entire season as all the plants die, and they can even make the critters themselves sick. The nuisance effects are there too if you're the kind of person who cares about it, because if all the plants in the field behind your house die rodents will seek shelter and food in your house instead.

Fires are also bad, as they have much of the same effect as herbicides. Food source and shelter elimination with added rodent chasing powers, as they will all run into the houses to get away from the fire at once instead of a few at a time as plants die. Microorganisms in the topsoil die from the heat and moisture evaporation caused by the fires. And worst of all, it's not even as effective, as fires leave behind intact seeds that will just sprout again next growing season.

If you want to effectively deal with an invasive infestation, you have to take the long route. It's better for everyone and everything involved. If something is really invasive in your area, don't plant it ever. "but I put it in a pot" it will spread. "But it's an indoor only plant" it will spread. "but I'll be careful" it. Will. Spread. Birds and rodents spread seeds, seeds can get caught on your clothes, there's a million different ways invasive plants can spread, so if it's an unmanageable ecological disaster in your area just don't contribute to the problem.

this redditor has the fucking battle royale of invasive plants (in the US) happening in their yard jesus christ. sentences of hate and destruction

As we head into 2025, the agricultural and landscaping industries continue to rely on tractors for essential tasks. Whether you’re a farmer, landscaper, or rural property owner, having the right insurance coverage is crucial to protect your equipment and investment. With the evolving landscape of insurance products, it’s important to know how to find the best tractor insurance for your needs.

Here’s a 2025 guide to help you navigate the options and find the perfect policy for your tractor:

1. Assess Your Coverage Needs

Before you start comparing insurance providers, assess what you need coverage for. The type of work you do with your tractor will influence the kind of insurance you require. If you’re using your tractor primarily for farming or large-scale operations, comprehensive insurance that includes damage, theft, and liability might be necessary. However, if you only use your tractor for personal use or light tasks, a basic liability policy could be sufficient.

2. Types of Tractor Insurance

Tractor insurance policies come in a variety of types, each designed to cater to different needs:

Liability Insurance: Covers third-party damage or injury caused by your tractor. Ideal for those on a budget or with smaller operations.

Comprehensive Insurance: Provides coverage for damage to your own tractor, theft, and liability, offering more extensive protection.

Agri-Insurance: Tailored for agricultural needs, these policies often cover tractors and other farming equipment, plus loss of crops or livestock.

Third-Party Insurance: A cost-effective option that protects against damage to others or their property, without covering your own tractor’s damage.

Make sure to choose the right type based on your usage and level of risk exposure.

3. Consider Factors That Affect Pricing

Several factors influence tractor insurance premiums in 2025, and understanding these will help you find the best deal:

Tractor Age & Condition: Newer models or well-maintained tractors tend to have lower premiums, as they are less likely to break down or be involved in accidents.

Usage: If your tractor is used for commercial purposes, insurance will be more expensive compared to one used for personal or light-duty tasks.

Location: Your region’s climate and risk factors (like flood, theft, or vandalism) can impact premiums. Rural areas might have lower rates, while high-risk locations may incur higher premiums.

Safety Features: Adding safety features like GPS tracking or anti-theft devices can lower your premiums, as these reduce the risk of loss or theft.

Even that is still valuable. If people make it easier for researchers at big ag companies to find and promote a wider diversity of food crops that still helps towards food security, and it doesn't stop the public and NGOs etc. from accessing and propagating the information to use either.

To Be A Prophet

What are the challenges of making an accurate price forecast in fertilisers? First of all, what defines a "good” forecast? Is a 1% deviation from the real market price good or bad? Some might argue it’s within an acceptable range. But what does 1% of a $600 per metric tonne price equate to? It means a $6 per metric tonne difference, which could represent a good trader’s margin.

Secondly, in my view, it’s important to forecast a price level that reflects trading at significant volumes, rather than a single deal. Technically, a forecaster might claim success if the predicted price is hit even once. However, as a trader, I value forecasts that align with prices representing substantial market activity. For example, when DOF purchases a million tonnes in a tender, those volumes set a meaningful benchmark.

Thirdly, a good forecast should be able to identify or crystallise market trends when only the earliest signs of an event appear. This is exceptionally challenging.

Lastly, there’s the difficulty of gathering information. We live in an age of informational noise, where it’s hard to discern factual data from what we *want* to believe. The world and its market conditions are constantly evolving, and what held true for supply and demand even five years ago might now be entirely irrelevant. A true analyst must stay consistently updated and know how to sift through data to extract meaningful insights.

I enjoy exchanging information and analysing it-it keeps the mind sharp.

Pescadero, Mexico Real Estate: A Growing Investment Opportunity in a Coastal Paradise

Credit: Image by dimitrisvetsikas1969 | Pixabay

Pescadero, Mexico Real Estate: A Rich Agricultural History

Pescadero is a small and unknown mass-travel town on the Pacific Ocean of the Mexican state of Baja California Sur and an agricultural hub. Initially created by Jesuit missionaries in 1724, this little-known place has gradually grown into a rather promising area for real estate development for those who desire silence, fresh air, and scenery.

It also belongs to the category of popular tourist attractions. From beachfront homes and investments to elegant villas, Pescadero, Mexico, Real Estate has emerged as a potential holiday destination and a residential area.

Most towns are still pervasively agricultural; agriculture is the foundation of Pescadero's transformation to modernity.

At the start of the 18th century, the Jesuit padres offered religious, social, and administrative organizations that observed the rich soil and massive water channels from the mountains, making the region an ideal place for developing as a significant agricultural production center.

The Jesuits took advantage of the aquifer, which supplied water underground. This water was used to nurture crops and cultivate farmland, making the region a food basket for neighboring establishments.

Farming has continuously been an essential part of Pescadero even to date. Today, you can witness great plains of chili and basil, which play a crucial role in making this region one of the most productive in the country.

Due to its moderate climate, relatively low temperatures, and the effect of ocean proximity, these crops can indeed grow. Hence, you get the bang of cultivated agricultural fields against arid, exposed coastal regions.

But it isn't just an agricultural hub—over recent years, people have flocked to the region because of its beautiful landscape and laid-back attitude.

A Coastal Retreat with Proximity to Tourist Hotspots

With several other land features and tourist attractions in Baja California Sur nearby, Pescadero remains one of the attraction's favorites.

Only an hour's drive north of Cabo San Lucas or ten minutes from the artistic town of Todos Santos, Pescadero offers serenity without isolation.

Cabo San Lucas is one of Baja's most popular destinations, featuring a thriving nightlife, new hotel chains, fishing and marine activities, the new marina, and many more. At the same time, Todos Santos has an artsy village, galleries, restaurants, art festivals, and the like.

This central position makes Pescadero particularly desirable for those who want to escape a larger city's small and crowded atmosphere but still be near such places. This is not surprising given the importance placed on Quality of life, and anything that comes with it is much sought after.

Pescadero remained a secret for a while, but nowadays, many families are interested in the real estate properties being offered in this town.

Whether the client wants to live in the countryside with beautiful farmlands around it or wants a new stylish villa that overlooks the Pacific Ocean, Pescadero has every listing.

Ocean-View Properties

A distinctive aspect of the community is the large number of houses with an ocean view of Pescadero.

Prospects can see areas with magnificent sea views of the Pacific Ocean on the Coast and Sites, and potential buyers can purchase spacious territories for the same prices as the coastal plots. Most are situated on pretty steep hillsides, and each homesite offers panoramic ocean views and the spectacular landscape of the Baja Peninsula.

These oceanfront lots are desirable because many homebuyers want to build new homes or develop second homes, such as beach cottages or small hotels that benefit from the island's expanding tourism sector.

Since Pescadero is surrounded by beautiful scenery and experiences fairly good weather every day and night, people have been pushed to own holiday homes or use them for short-term rentals, which has been a good business for those who invest in that.

Luxurious Villas and Private Residences

More recently, new villas and private houses with clear elements of modern Mexican architecture have been built. Many of these homes boast intricate designs like Mexican tiles, finely crafted furniture, and sundial murals that depict the culture of the Mexican community.

Almost all properties are created with an emphasis on that all-important outside space, with large terraces, astonishing infinity pools, and impressive gardens, all enjoying the excellent Mediterranean climate all year round.

For those who seek solitude and anonymity, big houses boast solitude and seclusion and can be nestled right in the greens of Pescadero, often surrounded by rolling farms. These private residences are perfect for those who want to escape the noise of the city while being surrounded by the stunning nature and attractions of Baja California Sur.

Agricultural Properties

Pescadero also offers the chance to purchase farmland for people who want to invest in farming or buyers who love to be associated with sustainable living.

Due to its being primarily an agricultural state, there is still ample space to cultivate everything from vegetables to herbs and flowers.

Many investors are looking into visiting farmer activities where farming and hospitality are interwoven to give visitors an experience of how agriculture is conducted.

The Allure of Pescadero's Lifestyle

In addition to its real estate portfolio, Pescadero may be most unique as a place to live. She said it is a community where people live relaxed, amid nature, and with their fellow citizens.

Most places in the region are fluently developed and adaptable; therefore, they are ideal for retirement, working from home, or even as a place for a comfortable family environment.

Beaches near the area, including the Playa Los Cerritos, are ideal for surfing, swimming, or sunbathing near the beach.

Anyone interested in adventure can hike to some of the several trails in the region, practice surfing, or visit any of the wildlife reserves. Further, Pescadero lies astride the Tropic of Cancer, so the regional climate is temperate, with ocean air helping to economize on temperatures during the summer season.

Why Invest in Pescadero Real Estate?

Pescadero is at the right age to enjoy real estate growth since it is surrounded by scenic beauty, agricultural land, and nearby famous tourist attraction centers from the Mexican side and international countries. Right now, the islands are still significantly cheaper than, for instance, Cabo San Lucas, so it is still possible to buy property before the prices rise even higher.

Furthermore, the demand for vacation lets and environmentally conscious products brought the possibility of long-term sustainable development to the progressive community of Pescadero.

Enhance your experience with https://caborealtypros.com/pacific/pescadero/ by visiting our platform.
