The interconnection of networks, devices, and data that characterizes Agroindustry 4.0 not only allows for the collection of large amounts of information that can be used to automate agricultural processes but can also be used to increase the speed of adoption of the technology promoted by Cenicaña.
Implementation of offline technologies integrated with communication tools and management systems can provide effective solutions for sugar mills aiming to optimize their harvest logistics and reduce costs. This study evaluated the efficiency and operational costs associated with the implementation of an integrated offline technology to optimize sugarcane transportation and logistics at the Guabirá sugar mill in eastern Bolivia.
An increase in extreme weather events is highly correlated with climate change, which is progressing faster than ever. Unfortunately, the precise timing and severity of many such weather events and other negative phenomena in the global sugarcane sector are difficult to forecast.
Illegal burnings have too often stained the skies—and the hopes—of Guatemala’s south‑coast cane belt. In the 2023/24 harvest, 18% of the stalks that reached Ingenio San Diego had been burnt before harvest. The figure hurt: economically, environmentally, morally.
In the search for sustainable agricultural systems, it is essential to quantify the environmental impacts of various management practices to make informed decisions on farm sustainability and achieve positive ecological outcomes. This study aims to estimate GHG emissions in sugarcane production under the agroecological conditions of a locality in Tucumán, using different nitrogen fertilizers and considering the collection of harvest residues for potential bioenergy use at a sugar mill.
Caña Sin Fronteras (CSF) is an innovative initiative that redefines collaboration in the Latin American sugar industry. With a unique focus on field operations, CSF stands out for addressing how technologies and tasks perform in daily practice, complementing other proposals like congresses or field days. Its primary focus is on unresolved "problems" faced by sugar mills, leveraging peer experiences to simplify and accelerate learning.
With the premise that not all smart people work for your company, the Colombian Sugarcane Research Center-CENICAÑA began searching for partners to establish collaborative pilots for startups that had advanced solutions for some challenges requiring accelerated technological development processes. With the guidance of a group of corporate venturers and a network of entrepreneurs, CENICAÑA launched a call to the entrepreneurial ecosystem for open innovation.
At a global level, significant efforts are focused on taking action to minimize climate change effects. Agricultural production and the industrialization of crops generate environmental, social, and economic impacts throughout the value chain. Currently, there is a National Integrated Risk Management Program for the Rural Agro-industrial System (GIRSAR) that manages risks (primarily climatic) in the Argentinian agroindustry, adopting mitigation, extension, and emergency responses at a national scale.
For the enhancement and growth of the productivity, learning and development are very important measure that makes the job easier for employees. It helps the employees improve their skills and knowledge while they are on their duties and employment.
Birds are a fundamental component of agroecosystems due to the goods and services they provide, including pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control. Despite these benefits, birds have been overlooked in biodiversity conservation planning for sugarcane crops in Colombia.
