Great to see some folks from WA on here. I know that a university consortium (possibly spearheaded by CSIRO) advertised recently for a new precision ag initiative there. I know one person who applied, who, if he is…
I agree completely. That said, even in row-crop systems there's an incredible amount that could be done to build in more functional ecological complexity. For example, see Matt liebman's work at Iowa State.
I agree that they were going for more of a survey of recent developments approach, but my perception is that they consistently overemphasize the tech as a panacea. Unfortunately that occurs quite often when tech…
While accurate on many of the recent developments, this article missed (as many precision ag/genetics editorials do) some of the key drawbacks to industrialized agriculture: 1. Herbicide resistance. We now have weeds…
