Modern farming: Coronavirus outbreak spurs high-tech greenhouse boom in China
China is seeing a high-tech greenhouse boom as food supply disruptions sparked by coronavirus lockdowns accelerated the development of modern farming techniques.
SHANGHAI, June 4 (Reuters) — At Chongming Island just outside Shanghai, China’s most populous city, workers collect and pack tomatoes and cucumbers at a glass greenhouse operated by Dutch company FoodVentures, which harvested their first batch of produce at the site in May.
The facility is one of dozens sprouting up on the outskirts of China’s megacities that utilise high-end technology to manage irrigation, temperature and lighting systems to grow vegetables within easy reach of a large and affluent consumer base.
“There is a trend towards more sustainable and professional supply,” said FoodVentures director Dirk Aleven.
Battery recycling firm set to expand in Nevada
| by KSNV NEWS 3, LAS VEGAS.
RENO (AP) — A battery recycling company founded by a former executive at Tesla Inc. broke ground on 100 acres (40 hectares) of land at an industrial park near Reno as part of its expansion plan.
Redwood Materials, which was founded in Nevada in 2017, is expecting its operations to continue growing with a boost in used battery packs from older electric vehicles, the Reno-Gazette Journal reported.
As a result, the company plans to expand its facilities and increase its workforce from just over 100 employees to more than 600 in the next couple of years. In addition to the acquisition at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, the company is also undertaking a major project in Carson City to expand its 150000-square-foot facility (13935-square-meter) to 550000 square feet (51000 square meters) within the next two years.
Apollo Project for Water
With the drought in the west it is time to consider an Apollo Program to produce clean water. Breakthroughs in processing lithium and with graphene-based desalination membranes may point the way. (Meant to say almost 20 Million people — needed some coffee tonight!)
