Divert breaks ground on “first-of-its-kind” renewable energy facility

Divert, Inc., an impact technology company on a mission to "Protect the Value of Food™", has announced the ground-breaking on its Integrated Diversion & Energy Facility in Longview, Washington in the US, the first-of-its-kind in the state.

The new facility will have the capacity to process 100,000 tons of wasted food a year from Washington and Oregon into carbon-negative renewable energy, bringing the region closer to its goals to reduce wasted food and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, according to Divert.

The 66,000-square-foot facility will provide companies with actionable data to take preventative steps to waste less and donate more food that is still edible.

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.
