Seed World Group to Remain Seed Industry’s One Stop News Source

Aug 11, 2023

When Google and Meta follow through on threats to bar news from Canadian users, Seed World Group will continue to be your go-to source of seed and agriculture industry news — you’ll just need to find us on platforms other than Google and Meta.

Tech giants Meta (Facebook and Instagram’s parent company) and Google may soon begin barring Canadian users’ access to all news posts — both Canadian and international. This action, which Meta has already begun to roll out, is in retaliation for the Canadian Government’s Bill C-18. The goal of Bill C-18, also known as the Online News Act, is to make major online platforms compensate news media organizations for the news content posted on their sites.

When Google and Meta follow through on their threats to eliminate all news content from their sites, rest assured Seed World Group will continue to be your one stop source of seed and agriculture industry news — you’ll just need to find us on platforms other than Google and Meta.

Video: What Is Remote Sensing In Precision Agriculture? - The World of Agriculture

What Is Remote Sensing In Precision Agriculture? In this informative video, we will dive into the fascinating world of remote sensing and its role in precision agriculture. Remote sensing technology allows farmers to gather critical information about their fields without the need for physical presence. By utilizing satellites, drones, and aircraft equipped with advanced sensors, farmers can monitor various aspects of their crops, from temperature and moisture levels to overall plant health.

We will explore how the data collected through remote sensing can empower farmers to make strategic decisions for their crops. With the ability to identify specific areas that require more water or nutrients, farmers can optimize resource usage, leading to healthier plants and improved yields.

Moreover, remote sensing plays a vital role in tracking crop growth over time. By comparing images taken at different growth stages, farmers can evaluate their crops’ development and adjust their management practices accordingly.
