GREENVOLUTION

Why “GREEN”? Because the wellbeing of the planet and its inhabitants is one of the core principles of our philosophy, embracing a Industry 5.0 oriented viewpoint.Technology, machines, human skills are the three pillars of the new industrial revolution, where the first two are the key factor underlying harmony and quality of life for the latter. Why “-VOLUTION”? Combined to “green”, it can be read as GREEN REVOLUTION or GREEN EVOLUTION, the wide-scale change which begins with small steps, allowing the dominant worldview to evolve. Everybody loves change but few are willing to take some steps to actually change. Practicing mindfulness and respect for the environment and the people around us, we can make small revolutions. Then, building on them, we’ll give our positive contribution to life on Earth, bringing forth the green consciousness evolution. Sticking to this principle, the protagonists of the podcasts presented here offer their everyday stories, big and small, about the efforts they made both as individuals and as companies, explaining how we can contribute to improve our future as citizens of the Earth.

GREENVOLUTION

Regenerate life starting from agriculture

November 29, 2023 • Arianna Hulshout / Cindy Van Dommelen

Developing robotics technology to improve agricolture may sound like a paradox, for it shakes the very foundations of one of the oldest and most traditional industrial sector. However, thanks to our current guest at Greenvolution, we’ve found out it is possible to unite technology and deeply-grounded, on-the-fields (literally) expertise to realize what Pixelfarming calls “regenerative agricolture”. Its aim is simple and challenging at the same time: by using mathematics to increase food production and stop using chemical pesticides, Pixelfarming wants to grow food with nature instead of against nature.

So, by combining mathemathical calculations and computer based technologies, the Pixelfarming crew can predict the most optimal conditions for crops and aim for the best harvest. Their story starts in 2017 as a small scale solution to improve, through extensive studies, the life cycle of plants. Over the years they have implemented their newly built machine, Robot one, in order to grow crops without using artificial chemicals.
