A hybrid solar-powered mini cold storage built under a government incentive programme has opened at Hilalnagar in Chauddagram, Cumilla, so marginal farmers can store produce and hold out for a fair price.
AgrotechJapan and WFP inaugurated three solar-powered agricultural hubs with irrigation pumps and food-processing machinery, plus six child-nutrition centres, in Madagascar's drought-hit Betioky district.
At the Africa Food Systems Forum, CGIAR researchers argued that AI advisory, insurance and speech tools only help women farmers when women shape the design, data and governance behind them.
NASS administrator Joe Parsons says farmers will soon be able to type or speak a question to get official data, as most reports move to the interactive Ag Insights platform.
AgrotechZoom-camera drones costing about $5,500 let farmers check fuel, flat tyres and broken drive shafts on irrigation pivots from the field edge, though some dealers say setup is still too slow.
OpinionWhy Bangladesh needs more farmer-centred, field-based, data-driven and impact-oriented agricultural research
AgrotechUniversity of Missouri engineers built an AI framework that lets each agricultural drone choose whether to analyse images onboard, on a nearby edge server or in the cloud.
AgrotechA UK-Japan team showed how a new class of wheat receptors lures blast-fungus effectors, and bioengineered them to recognise the pathogen on both wheat and barley.
AgrotechCTNBio has for the first time cleared genetically modified microorganisms for producing biocontrol products, granted to Bioma of the Cogny group, with soybean, corn and sugarcane the first targets.
AgrotechAt an AWS Cloud and AI Day, NZ Young Farmers' Cheyne Gillooly said AI will speed dairy, sheep and plant genetics research to market, while farmers described the shift to per-animal and in-paddock data.
The Mixing Bowl's 2026 Crop Robotics landscape counts 400 companies making weeding, spraying, harvesting and autonomy machines, with heavy churn and a wave of acquisitions by equipment makers.
AgrotechCU Boulder engineers have shown a cheap, battery-powered electronic sensor using the dye alizarin can monitor soil pH continuously across soil types, helping farmers spot problems before it is too late.
CropsA multi-university project with Clemson researchers will grow about 1,000 corn inbred lines to find the genetic markers behind strong stalks, using machine learning and automated sensing at harvest.
