🌱 North Node’s First Research Project: Building a Resilient Food–Feed Ecosystem What if the future of food security isn’t about producing more—but using what we already produce much better? I’m excited to position this as the first research project of North Node: Food ➡️Feed ➡️Pet Nutrition ➡️Circularity ➡️Resilience Today, human food production, livestock feed, pet nutrition and food-waste management largely operate as separate systems. I believe there is an opportunity to connect them intelligently—without compromising quality, safety or nutritional standards. The research will explore a model where safe agricultural and food-processing co-products can be: Human food → highest-value use ⬇️ Safe by-products → feed ingredients ⬇️ Species-specific processing → livestock / poultry / aquaculture / pet nutrition ⬇️ Organic residues → compost / bioenergy ⬇️ Back to agriculture ⬇️ The bigger opportunity is resilience. During floods, droughts, crop failures, pandemics or supply-chain disruptions, the same infrastructure could potentially function as an emergency food and animal-feed network—helping reduce dependency on long supply chains while minimizing material wastage.🌱 The research questions are simple, but important: 🌱• Can shared processing infrastructure reduce production costs? 🌱Can food-processing by-products be safely converted into high-value feed ingredients? 🌱Can we reduce transportation, storage and disposal costs? 🌱Can a digital platform match available biological resources with their safest, highest-value destination? 🌱Can the model become an emergency-response network for both human and animal nutrition? This is not a proposal to turn “waste” into food or feed without controls. Safety, traceability, contamination testing, nutritional analysis and species-specific standards would be fundamental to the model. 🪼Now I’m looking for collaborators. I would love to connect with: Food scientists | Veterinarians | Animal nutritionists | Agronomists | Food-processing companies | Feed manufacturers | Pet-food companies | Researchers | Supply-chain experts | Sustainability professionals | Agri-tech founders | Investors# If you are working at the intersection of food, agriculture, animal health, nutrition, circular economy or climate resilience, I would genuinely like to hear your perspective. North Node is starting with a research question—not a finished answer. If we can bring the right minds together, perhaps we can build a system where less is wasted, production becomes more efficient, and food security becomes more resilient. Interested in collaborating, researching or investing in this direction? Let’s connect. #NorthNode #FoodSecurity #AnimalNutrition #PetNutrition #CircularEconomy #AgriTech #FoodTech #Sustainability #ClimateResilience #VeterinaryInnovation #ResearchAndDevelopment #FutureOfFood #Innovation

"The future of agriculture belongs to businesses solving problems across the value chain." — Gbenga Aladejebi While cultivation is the starting point, the most significant growth opportunities in agriculture lie beyond the farm. The industry requires practical solutions to post-harvest challenges—whether that means improving cold-chain storage infrastructure, streamlining transport logistics, or optimizing the processing of raw materials. To scale agribusiness in Africa, we must bridge these missing links. The most successful founders are not just growing crops; they are building systems that solve specific supply chain bottlenecks. Listen to this excerpt to hear Gbenga explain where these untapped opportunities are hiding. listen to the full episode via https://lnkd.in/eXuYEmYT? #AgritechFoundersDiary #AgriculturalValueChains #Agribusiness #SupplyChainSolutions #FutureOfAgriculture #AfriRica #Agripreneur

🌫️ BRUMISATION EN SERRE HIGH-TECH HYDROPONIQUE : PILOTER LE MICROCLIMAT AVEC PRÉCISION Dans une serre hydroponique moderne, la brumisation ne consiste pas simplement à augmenter l’humidité. C’est un véritable outil de régulation du microclimat, lorsqu’il est correctement dimensionné et piloté. 🔬 PRINCIPE La pulvérisation de fines gouttelettes permet, par évaporation, d’évacuer une partie de la chaleur et de maîtriser les conditions autour du couvert végétal. Le pilotage doit intégrer : • Température 🌡️ • Humidité relative 💧 • Rayonnement ☀️ • Température foliaire 🍃 • VPD • Stade et densité de la culture 📊 EXEMPLE DE PILOTAGE À titre indicatif, pour une serre en période chaude : 🌡️ Air : 30–34 °C 💧 HR : 60–75 % 🍃 Température foliaire : surveillée en continu 🎯 VPD : maintien dans une plage adaptée à la culture 💦 Pression de brumisation : souvent 40–70 bar pour un système haute pression 💧 Gouttelettes : généralement de l’ordre de quelques dizaines de microns, selon les buses et l’application. ⚠️ Ces valeurs sont des ordres de grandeur techniques, et non des consignes universelles. Le dimensionnement doit être adapté au climat, à la culture, au stade végétatif et à la conception de la serre. 🎯 LE VPD : UN PARAMÈTRE CLÉ Une humidité élevée n’est pas automatiquement bénéfique. Une brumisation excessive peut favoriser la condensation, perturber la transpiration et augmenter les risques sanitaires. L’objectif est donc de maintenir un microclimat stable et adapté à la culture, en coordination avec la ventilation, les écrans, le chauffage et l’irrigation. ⚙️ EXEMPLE D’ARCHITECTURE TECHNIQUE Capteurs → automate climatique → électrovannes → pompe haute pression → réseau de buses → contrôle du microclimat. Sur une installation de 1 000 m², le débit total des buses doit être calculé à partir du nombre de buses, de leur débit unitaire, de la pression de fonctionnement et du besoin réel d’évaporation. ➡️ Le dimensionnement ne se fait donc pas simplement en fonction de la surface. 💧 QUALITÉ DE L’EAU Une filtration adaptée est indispensable pour limiter : • Colmatage des buses • Dépôts minéraux • Perte de pression • Maintenance excessive • Baisse des performances 🚀 NOS SERVICES Nous intervenons sur : 🔹 Étude & dimensionnement de la brumisation 🔹 Calcul hydraulique et choix des buses 🔹 Filtration & traitement de l’eau 🔹 Automatisation et contrôle climatique 🔹 Intégration avec irrigation et ventilation 🔹 Mise en service & optimisation 🌱 NOTRE APPROCHE Concevoir un système où l’eau, l’air, l’énergie et le climat sont pilotés ensemble pour créer les meilleures conditions possibles pour la plante. Serre intelligente = climat maîtrisé + données + précision + efficacité. 🌐 Découvrez nos solutions et services : www.hydrofarmexperts.com #SerreHighTech #Hydroponie #Brumisation #VPD #SmartGreenhouse #AgricultureDePrecision #AgTech #ClimateControl #GreenhouseTechnology #Irrigation #HydroponicFarming

📌 Stade Floraison / Nouaison chez la Framboise : L'étape clé qui conditionne votre rendement ! En culture sous serre, la phase de floraison et de nouaison exige une vigilance agronomique de tous les instants. C'est à ce moment précis que se jouent le calibre, la fermeté et l'uniformité de la future récolte. 💡 3 leviers techniques indispensables à ce stade : • Pollinisation optimisée : L'activité des bourdons (Bombus terrestris) est essentielle pour garantir un taux de nouaison élevé et éviter la déformation des fruits. • Nutrition ciblée : Ajustement fin de la fertigation avec un accent particulier sur le Potassium (K) pour le grossissement, ainsi que le Calcium (Ca) et le Bore (B) pour la structure cellulaire. • Gestion du microclimat : Maintien d'une aération fluide pour réguler l'hygrométrie sous la serre, réduisant ainsi les risques de Botrytis cinerea sur les pièces florales. La maîtrise des détails techniques sur le terrain est le seul moyen de transformer le potentiel végétatif en haute rentabilité commerciale. 💬 Aux professionnels de la filière : Quelles sont vos priorités de gestion du climat sous serre durant les pics de floraison ? #Agronomie #Framboise #FruitsRouges #Berries #Hydroponie #AgricultureHorsSol #ConseilAgricole #Berkane #AgTech

🌾 Built AgriVision AI — an agricultural decision-support platform, not just another dashboard. Most "smart farming" demos show pretty charts. I wanted something that actually tells a farmer what to do. AgriVision AI tracks live field sensor data (soil moisture, temperature, humidity, rainfall, soil condition) across multiple fields, analyzes uploaded crop imagery for visible plant stress, and turns all of it into three things that matter: 💧 Irrigation demand — how much water, how urgently ⚠️ Crop-stress risk — scored and explained, not just flagged 🩺 Field health — a single number you can act on Then it ranks every recommendation by priority, compares fields side-by-side, and runs a live simulation so you can watch conditions evolve in real time. Built end-to-end in Python + Streamlit — no external APIs, fully self-contained, ready to run in one command. The goal wasn't "cool AI demo." It was: if I handed this to someone managing real fields, would it actually help them decide what to do today? #AgriTech #AI #PrecisionAgriculture #Streamlit #Python #AgricultureTechnology

At Independence Day, PM flagged a ₹2.4 trillion fertilizer subsidy bill vs ₹1.7 trillion budgeted, while naming chemical-free farming a national priority. The message is clear: input-heavy agriculture is now fiscally unsustainable, even as markets pay more for low-chemical produce. This reframes precision ag from a farmer-income story to an exchequer story. Soil and input data becomes critical infrastructure for targeting subsidy, credit and extension; low-input farming shifts from niche export to mainstream cost strategy. India doesn't lack soil tests — it lacks a system that turns soil intelligence into decisions at scale. Vidaksh, with IIT (BHU) Varanasi, is building that Soil Intelligence System to manage inputs, yield and cost on evidence, not habit. #FertilizerSubsidy #IndianAgriculture #PrecisionAgriculture #SoilIntelligence #SoilHealth #NaturalFarming #ChemicalFreeFarming #AgriTech #PMPRANAM #AgriPolicy #FoodSecurity #IITBHU #Vidaksh

Agriculture is a half-trillion-dollar industry in India, yet it runs on less than 1% tech penetration. For years, building an agritech startup felt like fighting gravity. The unit economics were brutal, customer acquisition costs (CAC) were high, and selling standalone SaaS subscriptions to smallholder farmers, who make up 86% of the market, was nearly impossible. But the narrative is rapidly shifting, driven by a collision of rural innovation and government-led Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). We are currently witnessing the "UPI moment" for agriculture with the rollout of AgriStack. By digitally integrating land records, farmer profiles, and satellite weather data, the government is solving the biggest historical bottleneck for startups: trust and verification. Suddenly, offering micro-credit, crop insurance, and precision advisory doesn't require an expensive army of field agents. Startups are finally abandoning pure-software strategies and pivoting to full-stack "phygital" models. They aren't just giving advice; they are managing warehouse receipt financing, deploying drone-as-a-service (DaaS), and building end-to-end traceable supply chains. The market, projected to hit over $2.1 billion by 2031, is moving away from subsidized expansion and toward real, monetized transactions. However, the ultimate winners won't be the ones with the flashiest AI algorithms. They will be the founders who understand that rural innovation is about building trust in the physical world, backed by the efficiency of digital infrastructure. Are we finally ready to see Indian agritech move from pilot projects to global blueprints? #Agritech #StartupIndia #AgriStack #RuralInnovation #Entrepreneurship #DPI
