My world's main agriculture is farming but I'm wondering if that's truly viable in terrain that's not ideal for growing stuff. Though I am certainly having the world be advanced enough to have greenhouses and so on but nothing too fancy other than some rudimentary GMO. With greenhouses, I assume the majority of land could possibly be used - including desert/polar regions. Just as long as they can transport all their needed supplies.

Ebonwing: If so much of your terrain is unsuited to farming that they’d have to build greenhouses everywhere, why would the main agriculture be farming? In areas where farming crops isn’t feasible, people have traditionally found other ways of feeding themselves, often by having animal herds and maintaining diets based on meat and dairy.

Tex: Arable land depends on soil fertility. While it’s true that this is climate-dependent, there are, for example, plants that grow in both the Arctic and the desert. There is currently an interest in some farmers adopting no-till farming due to more research being conducted on soil microbiology (Nature portfolio).

Successful agriculture is heavily dependent upon the health of the soil and the greater biome. Greenhouses are a popular concept for alleviated perceived issues with the production of crops, but also have issues with decreased microbial diversity, something that plants need in order to be healthy (Legein et al.). Accordingly, this microbial diversity has a perceptible impact on human health (PDF Samiran & van der Heijden).

Genetic engineering is a new field and has only recently been involved in agriculture, with selective breeding of animals and plants the predominant method of cultivating desired characteristics the typical preference of farmers, when they have not opted for domestication.

What are your world’s main goals for agricultural production? How many people are they feeding, how many animals are they feeding, and what is the general density of these populations? What does an ideal diet look like? Is the food mostly equivalent in quality and accessibility across all social strata, or are there visible disparities? What are their major obstacles in reaching these goals? Agriculture does have a side effect on the environment, particularly with the use of tilling and chemical applications - the natural biome is altered, and sometimes permanently. When over-used and improperly maintained, it can create inhospitable environments (Wikipedia).

Licorice: “Agriculture” derives from the Latin for “cultivation of fields”; “ager” is a field, and an ”agricola” is a farmer. So agriculture = farming. Agriculture is defined as “the practice or work of farming” by the Cambridge Online Dictionary; other dictionaries give a similar definition.

The first time I read your query, I thought you meant your world was one where little or none of the terrain was suitable for growing stuff. However, on a second reading, it seems your question is more along the lines of “how do the inhabitants of marginal land produce their food”? If that’s the case, then it sounds to me as if your world is a lot like Earth.

Human beings have settled in just about every environment on earth, adapting their lifestyles and diets to the local conditions. Some regions of earth have traditionally produced an abundance of food and been well suited to farming; others have not, and in those cases the indigenous people have generally relied on hunting and gathering for their food. Some places, like the Welsh Hills or the slopes of the Alps, are more suited to animal husbandry than to the cultivation of crops. And, of course, there was a time when the different regions and human societies of Earth each had their own unique food crops.

There’s been a lot of interest in greenhouse farming in the Arctic, but as far as I know it remains small-scale and somewhat experimental. That could change.

https://www.arcticwwf.org/the-circle/stories/bringing-leafy-greens-to-northern-sweden/

And of course the inhabitants of your world will be trading with each other. Regions that produce a lot of fish will salt it and trade it with regions that produce a lot of wine or spices. Tea can be exchanged for gold. Maybe potatoes are abundant but wheat is a luxury? And so on; it’s up to you to decide what your world’s most precious food commodities are..

26, 34

26. What’s the most life-changing choice you’ve made so far? 34. Was your childhood happy?

26. About seven years ago I stood on the landing between the two floors of my parental home. That was the fork in the road of my existence. I could go up, and commit suicide, or go down, and finally break down and tell my mom I was suicidal, and could no longer cope. I remember she was having guests over which she'd had to call off, and that being a legitimate reason for me to not bug her. There was a moment of intense panic, and then I fled down. I could have easily fled up to escape it all, but I made the choice to escape toward life instead of death.

34. Absolutely. I remember my grandparents' farm / homestead most fondly. There were lots of dogs and cats (because my grandmother always adopted them haha). We built treehouses, huts, and slides. Ate fruit from the orchard; picked all kinds of berries, and grew food on patches of land grandpa had made free for us. On Wednesdays grandma would bake pancakes, and you could always ask her to bake it in a particular shape. Like a little guy, or your favourite animal. They had satellite TV which meant I could watch Cartoon Network there. Warner Bros., Hannah Barbera; Tom and Jerry, Wacky Races, Yogi Bear, Snagglepuss, Looney Tunes, all the classics. Either in English or in German, haha. I could go on and on. I was a really happy child.

Innovation acts as a catalyst for change within the agricultural landscape, driving the adoption of agroecological practices. From precision agriculture and agroforestry to organic farming methods, innovative technologies empower farmers to enhance productivity while minimizing environmental footprint. By harnessing cutting-edge tools such as drones, sensor networks, and biotechnology, agroecological systems become more efficient and resilient.

Subheading: The Power of Partnerships

Collaboration between researchers, farmers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders is essential for scaling up agroecological solutions. Through knowledge exchange networks and participatory research initiatives, diverse perspectives converge to co-create sustainable farming practices tailored to local contexts. Public-private partnerships facilitate technology transfer and ensure that innovative solutions reach farmers on the ground.

Subheading: Education and Capacity Building

Education plays a crucial role in fostering a culture of innovation within the agricultural sector. By equipping farmers with the knowledge and skills needed to implement agroecological practices, training programs empower rural communities to embrace sustainable agriculture. Extension services and farmer field schools serve as platforms for experiential learning, enabling practitioners to share best practices and troubleshoot challenges collectively.

Subheading: Policy Support and Market Access

Policy frameworks and market incentives play a vital role in creating an enabling environment for agroecology. Governments can promote sustainable agriculture through subsidies for organic farming, agroecological research grants, and regulations that prioritize environmental stewardship. Furthermore, consumers' growing demand for ethically produced food creates market opportunities for agroecological products, incentivizing farmers to adopt sustainable practices.

Conclusion:

As we stand at the crossroads of agricultural development, the imperative to embrace Agroecology And Sustainable Food Systems has never been more pressing. Through research and innovation, we have the power to revolutionize the way we produce food, safeguarding the planet for future generations. By fostering partnerships, investing in education, and advocating for supportive policies, we can pave the way towards a more sustainable food system.

Regenerative Agriculture: A Sustainable Approach To Farming

Regenerative agriculture is gaining increasing attention as a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to farming. Unlike conventional farming practices that focus solely on maximizing yields and profitability, regenerative farming emphasizes soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. In this article, we will explore the principles, benefits, challenges, and potential of regenerative agriculture in addressing global food security, climate change, and environmental degradation.

Principles of Regenerative Agriculture:

This type of agriculture is guided by several key principles aimed at restoring and enhancing the health of agroecosystems while minimizing negative environmental impacts. These principles include:

Soil Health: Regenerative agriculture prioritizes the health and vitality of soil as the foundation of agricultural productivity. Practices such as minimal tillage, cover cropping, crop rotation, and composting are employed to improve soil structure, fertility, and microbial activity.

Biodiversity: Diversity is encouraged in both crop and animal species to enhance ecosystem resilience, pest and disease resistance, and nutrient cycling. Polyculture and agroforestry systems are utilized to mimic natural ecosystems and promote biodiversity on farms.

Carbon Sequestration: Regenerative agriculture practices aim to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the soil through techniques such as agroforestry, rotational grazing, and the use of cover crops. This helps mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing carbon sinks in agricultural landscapes.

Holistic Management: Regenerative farmers adopt holistic management approaches that consider the interconnectedness of soil, plants, animals, and humans within agroecosystems. This holistic approach emphasizes collaboration with nature, adaptive management, and continuous improvement.

Benefits of Regenerative Farming:

Regenerative agriculture offers a range of benefits for farmers, consumers, and the environment, including:

Improved Soil Health: By enhancing soil fertility, structure, and organic matter content, regenerative farming improves soil health and productivity, leading to higher crop yields, reduced erosion, and better water retention.

Increased Biodiversity: Regenerative practices promote biodiversity on farms, supporting pollinators, beneficial insects, and wildlife habitats. Diverse ecosystems are more resilient to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses, reducing the need for synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.

Climate Resilience: Through carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, regenerative agriculture helps mitigate climate change and build resilience to extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves.

Enhanced Nutritional Quality: Studies have shown that regeneratively grown crops and livestock products may have higher nutritional content, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, compared to conventionally produced foods.

Sustainable Livelihoods: Regenerative agriculture offers economic opportunities for smallholder farmers, rural communities, and indigenous peoples by promoting diversified and locally adapted farming systems, value-added products, and direct marketing channels.

Challenges and Considerations:

While regenerative agriculture holds great promise for sustainable food production, it also faces several challenges and considerations, including:

Knowledge and Education: Adopting regenerative practices requires education, training, and technical assistance for farmers to understand the principles and techniques involved. Extension services, farmer-to-farmer networks, and demonstration projects can help disseminate knowledge and best practices.

Investment and Infrastructure: Transitioning to regenerative farming may require initial investments in equipment, infrastructure, and resources, which can be a barrier for small-scale farmers and resource-limited regions. Access to finance, incentives, and supportive policies can facilitate adoption and investment in regenerative practices.

Market Access and Consumer Awareness: Building market demand for regeneratively produced foods and products requires consumer education, labeling, and certification schemes that communicate the environmental, social, and health benefits of regenerative agriculture. Strengthening local and regional food systems can also improve market access for regenerative farmers.

Policy and Governance: Regulatory frameworks, agricultural policies, and land tenure systems may need to be reformed to incentivize and support regenerative farming practices. Governments can play a crucial role in providing subsidies, incentives, and technical assistance to promote sustainable land management and agroecological farming methods.

Social Equity: Regenerative agriculture emphasizes equitable access to resources, knowledge, and opportunities for all farmers, including smallholders, women, youth, and marginalized communities. By promoting inclusive and participatory decision-making processes, regenerative farming contributes to social cohesion, community empowerment, and rural development.

Ecosystem Services: Regenerative farming practices provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including pollination, water purification, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation. By restoring and enhancing natural habitats, regenerative farming supports ecosystem functions and ecological balance, benefiting both agricultural landscapes and adjacent ecosystems.

Conclusion:

Regenerative agriculture offers a holistic and sustainable approach to farming that prioritizes soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. By adopting regenerative practices, farmers can improve agricultural productivity, mitigate climate change, and enhance environmental sustainability while promoting economic livelihoods and food security for future generations. As awareness of the benefits of regenerative farming grows, concerted efforts are needed from stakeholders across the food system to support its widespread adoption and implementation on a global scale.

Transformers: Lost World (Cozy Farm Sim More Details Part 2)

Posts: (1), (2), (3)

All Lost World Characters:

Xarians – The Inhabitants of the land. While human-like in posture, their reptilian skin, tails and horns separate them from humans greatly. They nearly went extinct in their own home during the Cybertronian war as Megatron sought to use their world for resources and plunder all their Energon that grew naturally across the land. Since the Cybertronians disappeared, they have mostly left the land to other parts of the planet to rebuilt except loyal families. Maybe now that the war has ended, they can find comfort in the presence of the Transformers with your help.

Xarian NPCs mostly stay around their respective villages though if you make a base close to their home, they can venture out and visit the base. Random Xarians will be found wandering around town with not much to say...though bringing different Transformers might change their tune.

Shockwave and Perceptor – After rebuilding their lab for them, they simply ask you to be their field scout and find all you can. Shockwave has utmost interest in all the animals and crops out there, and Perceptor loves Energon and materials. By reporting each type to the respective scientists, you can gain rare rewards for your efforts with the final reward of both being not only Legendary base makeovers and farm equipment, but they will be open to being befriended and helping you.

Flora Town (Meadows):

Raine – Village Leader

Knowing all the Meadows and Jungle areas like the back of her hand, but she is quite mum on certain subjects of the past.

Arvaran – Merchant

He carries basic materials. You may find a few rare items like furniture and special materials for sale for a price. Anything you have, he’ll usually buy. Be careful what you sell.

Lillabea – Nursery and Garden Keeper

She carries Meadow and Jungle (once area is unlocked) seeds and decorative plants and trees to make the land your home

Waka – Weapons Expert

Buying weapons from him is like buying a live grenade someone pulls the pin of and puts in your hand. Crazy but efficient to his most loyal customers. He has a good heart and can offer exclusive tools for jobs around the farm too. The more areas you unlock, the more he has to offer. Weapons are a necessity in order to hunt and sometimes defend yourself against wild animals and Transformers that must be battled in order to subdue to befriend. Relying on your Companions to be your weapons of choice only can be quite the handicap...unless you want a challenge but maybe you’re crazier than Waka?

Zeplin – Seamster

He specializes in clothing outfits. Either buy exclusive clothes from him or custom make your own. Unlocking more areas gives you more options. He is the brother of Zepler.

Veris – Cook

A vegetarian specialist, including Energon-infused veggies and fruits, she can make your palette water even with a few berries. Bringing ingredients to her will unlock new recipes to eat or to serve to your Companions, and you can use her kitchen any time you want.

Irisi – Pet Shop and Shelter

He carries all you need for pets and if you have to release them, you can always find the ones you’ve tamed again through his network, and they will be ready for pickup later on in the day. A few pets and certain variants of animals can only be adopted through pet shops and cannot be met in the wild.

Jaksan – Archeologist

The expert of ruins and artifacts, he has quite the documented history of the Transformers from what he gathered from their ruins. Bringing him a few Transformers to show off may earn you special rewards for upgrading his research. Answering clues and questions he has across the land aids his research greatly with good rewards as well.

Other Flora Villagers –

Janji (Flower Enthusiast – Tell him of any flower and its color documented, he’ll give you a few items based on those flowers)

Kayva and Layva (Twin girls and sweet troublemakers – watch your pockets)

Vivi (The Crazy Minicon Lady – Giving her Minicons for Companions on her secluded little farm gives you exclusive cosmetic rewards for your own Minicon Transformers. If you ever want to trade Minicons or give them to her up until her max limit, she’ll gladly take care of them for you.)

Relas (Artifact Enthusiast – Show her artifacts and she’ll reward you for your efforts.)

Little Pono (Transformer Fanboy - A little kid who will listen to any fact of any Transformer you have to give. He doesn’t have anything to trade, but he gets really excited to hear about them anyways.)

Shady Springs (Desert):

Kumaris – Village Leader

He knows of the Transformers from tales passed down from his ancestors. Cautious but friendly, he is open to much change within reason.

Nevu – Merchant

He sells common items, bullets, and other supplies, but rare items can be found with a high price tag. He has to make a living too.

Rozania – Nursery and Garden Keeper

She sells seeds of crops found in the Desert and Volcanic Basin (once unlocked) as well as decorative plants and trees that grow within said areas.

Werven – Cook

A picky cook who specializes in cold dishes. Bring him various tangy and chill ingredients and he’ll show you a thing or two of how to master the cool breeze of a relaxing meal to eat or to feed to your Companions in the hot sun.

Other Shady Springs Villagers

Primari (Organic Animal Enthusiast – Tell her about the many native animals of the land and she’ll give you items based on the animals you’ve documented.)

Lumion (Farm Enthusiast – Tell him about your efforts of your farm and he’ll reward you with items to decorate your bases with in approval.)

Folina (Teenage girl with a heart full of music – You can hear her playing her six-string thrummer around the Oasis with her befriended white Nitrotiger, Silverbeat.)

Moonrock Fort (Mountains):

Guavero – Village Leader

He protects what is left of his home from the looming force of the dread Nemesis and the creatures of the Mountains.

Plekami – Merchant

She sells just about every material (as they are unlocked) and can hold multiple rare and legendary items at a time for a huge price.

Melvak – Nursery and Garden Keeper

He sells all seeds (as the areas are unlocked), especially the elusive and most expensive ones found in the Mountains only. Rare and multitudes of different plant decor for your bases can be obtained through him.

Other Moonrock Fort Villagers

The Five Elders (Protectors of the Five Peaks – They hold much wisdom, ask away, and can offer exclusive rewards for showing them the Legendary Transformers of myth you can befriend –post-game through documenting all 186 Transformers–)

Eclipsa (Transformers Enthusiast –Only appears post-game onward– Show her any Transformer collected and gain a reward specific to them. Show her all 186 and she’ll grant you a Legendary unique item. Show her all 200 Transformers and multiple Legendary unique items will be available starting at 182 onward.)

Snowhaven (Tundra):

Tomolin – Village Leader

A wise and gracious leader, he keeps an open mind about everything though that does open him to much ridicule.

Kevia – Merchant

Sells good and great materials as well as rare items occasionally. She is locked less than the others and can also hold items from the Meadows, Desert, Volcanic Basin, and Ocean (after each area is unlocked.)

Hydregi – Nursery and Garden Keeper

She sells seeds from the Tundra and Canyon (when unlocked) as well as plants and trees from these areas.

Vlade – Cook

A picky cook who specializes in hot dishes. Bring him various mild and spicy ingredients and he’ll show you a thing or two of how to master the flames to eat or to feed to your Companions to warm you in the chill of the Tundra.

Mama Qualion – Historian

An old lady who works with Jaksan to keep the history of the Cybertronian presence on their world alive. By bringing her any artifact, relic, Transformer, or animal, she could tell you anything you want to know and that may just lead to a few unexpected discoveries.

Other Snowhaven Villagers

Deniran (Crops Enthusiast – Tell him of all the crops you’ve collected and he’ll reward you with more seeds free of charge.)

The Frostbite Gang (A group of teen boys looking for trouble – They would rather insult you than provide anything helpful. They sometimes deserve a good snowball or two...straight at their heads.)

Guana (Allspark Enthusiast – While no one believes her, she thinks the Allspark, a legend inscribed on many ruins of Cybertronian history, is out there. After talking with her, you may encounter random points in the land with unusual energy signatures...make sure to tell her what you find after doing some investigating for exclusive rewards.)

Nova Bay (Ocean):

Bazza – Village Leader

A noble and proud elder who thrives to keep her people happy. She loves the sea and although she finds the new cybernetic species invasive, she found a friend in an old Warwhale that lives in the Blue Lagoon crater nicknamed Atlas.

Rebarilo – Merchant

He has everything you need from common items to rare ones, but do keep in mind the Ocean doesn’t have most of these materials so buying them might be more expensive than normal, but his selection is infinite compared to his partners across the land.

Cosmadel – Nursery and Garden Keeper

He sells seeds from the Ocean and may have a few different types from other areas upon occasion. Plants and trees from the area, though not as abundant, are to have in your base.

Calmar – Cook

A meat specialist, especially seafood, any dish he makes can make your mouth water. If you don’t like meat...maybe don’t tell that to him as he will find your presence in the Ocean a little redundant.

Zepler – Seamstress

She specializes in clothing outfits. Either buy exclusive clothes from her or custom make your own. Unlocking more areas gives you more options. She is the sister of Zeplin.

Other Nova Bay Villagers

Kaper (Material Enthusiast – Show him all the materials you discovered, and he will reward you with rare materials.)

Evgeni (Cybernetic Animal Enthusiast – Enlighten him with all the Cybernetic Animals in the land and he will find something worthwhile to give you for your efforts.)

Seashell Scouts (A group of kids with some fancy, homecooked meals to sell – Donations to this group support a new outdoor, live ranch for all the sea creatures for the village to take care of. Once upgraded, you may find a few surprise creatures the girls may befriend along the way. Daily spawns vary. *Nothing in this aquarium reserve can be hunted or taken however, even rare colors and valuable animals that spawn.*)

Altaria (Energon Enthusiast – Fascinated by the hums and glow of Energon crystals, she will provide rewards for informing her of various details about them and what they can be used for.)

Overworld Items

Lost Crates – When the Ark and Nemesis crashed, much of their loot was lost. Perhaps you can use whatever items are inside if you can find them scattered across the land.

Artifacts – Old pieces of various things the Cybertronians once held dear. Collecting all the pieces might just hold the key to finding some extremely rare Transformers.

Relics – Sell them for a fortune...or keep them? Finding them in the wild is tricky, the decision of what to do with them is up to you. Maybe some Transformers interact with them uniquely.

Allspark Shards – They can reveal a whole other world, literally, if one collects all 160 fragments.

Allspark Trials

After collecting all 20 fragments per area, an unusual spot on the map will appear and you can venture into the Allspark’s Sanctuary to gain unique items and test your wits in fun challenges the Allspark has made for you.

Hobby Stations and Transformer Activities (Online Play would be an option)

Cube – A game of immense calculation and entertainment of getting the Cube into the goal between two teams of five. Many Transformers enjoy it so building a cub field will keep your Companions energized. You may enjoy seeing it being played too or take control of a Transformer to play it yourself.

Gladiator – A good old-fashioned battle, just not the deadly version of it. Fighting might be messy, but it keeps Transformers’ minds and physical strength stronger than ever. You can cheer (and control) any Transformer in the ring in the arena you construct.

Racing – Challenge any Transformer with your chosen Companion to a race either by flight or by wheel and either use generated race paths or create your own.

Arts and Crafts – Some Transformers will take interest in simple art or create something to be proud of. Others won’t. You can use the stations yourself to make your own posters and color schemes for furniture if you so desired.

Video Games – Did you know Transformers do have an interest in gaming? While they may not have the depth of Red Dead Redemption 2, they do enjoy a good mental challenge. Set up projector pillars to make screens they can interact with and play on.

General Hobby Stations – Large round pillars with various equipment that can be modified between different types of themes. Certain Transformers don’t much care for certain types of hobbies so they will avoid the pillars and activity pens they don’t like. Keep plenty of variance in many pillars and they will be happy.

Transformer Stables

Large and small stables, each can hold up to 10 Transformers or 10 Minicons respectively with 8 stables maximum per base (10 when fully upgraded by finding all 200 Transformers)

Building your first stables requires wood and stone to start off. From there, they can be upgraded to be sturdy with stronger materials throughout and then decorated with various designs and colors. Each pen can be decorated to appease the Transformer assigned. Minicons cannot reside with regular-sized Transformers.

You can remove barriers in stables to put multiple Transformers in a single, giant pen but not all Transformers get along. Stalls do not have doors or gates as Transformers can come and go as they please. If unhappy with their setup, you may see them get fussy or annoyed at their surroundings that will require you to change their pen to their decent liking.

To avoid clutter, a few Transformers will often rotate for stasis naps while the others work on the farm or move about. You can wake them up to use in the field easy. If you walk by them asleep, they will not be stirred but if you run by them, maybe you’ll see a change in animation before they resume resting. Shooting off your weapon or axing something nearby might give you a glare or two if too close in proximity to them.

Dirt-powered fuel cell runs forever - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/dirt-powered-fuel-cell-runs-forever-technology-org/

Dirt-powered fuel cell runs forever - Technology Org

A Northwestern University-led team of researchers has developed a new fuel cell that harvests energy from microbes living in dirt.

About the size of a standard paperback book, the completely soil-powered technology could fuel underground sensors used in precision agriculture and green infrastructure. This could potentially offer a sustainable, renewable alternative to batteries, which hold toxic, flammable chemicals that leach into the ground, are fraught with conflict-filled supply chains, and contribute to the ever-growing problem of electronic waste.

Working in the lab, Northwestern alumnus Bill Yen buries the fuel cell in soil.

To test the new fuel cell, the researchers used it to power sensors measuring soil moisture and detecting touch, a capability that could be valuable for tracking passing animals. To enable wireless communications, the researchers also equipped the soil-powered sensor with a tiny antenna to transmit data to a neighboring base station by reflecting existing radio frequency signals.

Not only did the fuel cell work in both wet and dry conditions, but its power also outlasted similar technologies by 120%.

The research was published in the Proceedings of the Association for Computing Machinery on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies. The study authors also are releasing all designs, tutorials and simulation tools to the public, so others may use and build upon the research.

“The number of devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) is constantly growing,” said Northwestern alumnus Bill Yen, who led the work. “If we imagine a future with trillions of these devices, we cannot build every one of them out of lithium, heavy metals and toxins that are dangerous to the environment. We need to find alternatives that can provide low amounts of energy to power a decentralized network of devices. In a search for solutions, we looked to soil microbial fuel cells, which use special microbes to break down soil and use that low amount of energy to power sensors. As long as there is organic carbon in the soil for the microbes to break down, the fuel cell can potentially last forever.”

“These microbes are ubiquitous; they already live in soil everywhere,” said Northwestern’s George Wells, a senior author on the study. “We can use very simple engineered systems to capture their electricity. We’re not going to power entire cities with this energy. But we can capture minute amounts of energy to fuel practical, low-power applications.”

Wells is an associate civil and environmental engineering professor at Northwestern’s McCormick School of Engineering. Now a Ph.D. student at Stanford University, Yen started this project when he was an undergraduate researcher in Wells’ laboratory.

Solutions for a dirty job

In recent years, farmers worldwide have increasingly adopted precision agriculture as a strategy to improve crop yields. The tech-driven approach relies on measuring precise levels of moisture, nutrients and contaminants in soil to make decisions that enhance crop health. This requires a widespread, dispersed network of electronic devices to collect environmental data continuously.

“If you want to put a sensor out in the wild, in a farm or in a wetland, you are constrained to putting a battery in it or harvesting solar energy,” Yen said. “Solar panels don’t work well in dirty environments because they get covered with dirt, do not work when the sun isn’t out and take up a lot of space. Batteries also are challenging because they run out of power. Farmers are not going to go around a 100-acre farm to regularly swap out batteries or dust off solar panels.”

To overcome these challenges, Wells, Yen and their collaborators wondered if they could instead harvest energy from the existing environment. “We could harvest energy from the soil that farmers are monitoring anyway,” Yen said.

‘Stymied efforts’

Making their first appearance in 1911, soil-based microbial fuel cells (MFCs) operate like a battery — with an anode, cathode and electrolyte. But instead of using chemicals to generate electricity, MFCs harvest electricity from bacteria that naturally donate electrons to nearby conductors. When these electrons flow from the anode to the cathode, it creates an electric circuit.

But in order for microbial fuel cells to operate without disruption, they need to stay hydrated and oxygenated — which is tricky when buried underground within dry dirt.

“Although MFCs have existed as a concept for more than a century, their unreliable performance and low output power have stymied efforts to make practical use of them, especially in low-moisture conditions,” Yen said.

Winning geometry

With these challenges in mind, Yen and his team embarked on a two-year journey to develop a practical, reliable soil-based MFC. His expedition included creating — and comparing — four different versions. First, the researchers collected a combined nine months of data on the performance of each design. Then, they tested their final version in an outdoor garden.

The best-performing prototype worked well in dry conditions as well as within a water-logged environment. The secret behind its success: Its geometry. Instead of using a traditional design, in which the anode and cathode are parallel to one another, the winning fuel cell leveraged a perpendicular design.

Made of carbon felt (an inexpensive, abundant conductor to capture the microbes’ electrons), the anode is horizontal to the ground’s surface. Made of an inert, conductive metal, the cathode sits vertically atop the anode.

Although the entire device is buried, the vertical design ensures that the top end is flush with the ground’s surface. A 3D-printed cap rests on top of the device to prevent debris from falling inside. And a hole on top and an empty air chamber running alongside the cathode enable consistent airflow.

The lower end of the cathode remains nestled deep beneath the surface, ensuring that it stays hydrated from the moist, surrounding soil — even when the surface soil dries out in the sunlight. The researchers also coated part of the cathode with waterproofing material to allow it to breathe during a flood. And, after a potential flood, the vertical design enables the cathode to dry out gradually rather than all at once.

On average, the resulting fuel cell generated 68 times more power than needed to operate its sensors. It also was robust enough to withstand large changes in soil moisture — from somewhat dry (41% water by volume) to completely underwater.

Making computing accessible

The researchers say all components for their soil-based MFC can be purchased at a local hardware store. Next, they plan to develop a soil-based MFC made from fully biodegradable materials. Both designs bypass complicated supply chains and avoid using conflict minerals.

“With the COVID-19 pandemic, we all became familiar with how a crisis can disrupt the global supply chain for electronics,” said study co-author Josiah Hester, a former Northwestern faculty member who is now at the Georgia Institute of Technology. “We want to build devices that use local supply chains and low-cost materials to make computing accessible for all communities.”

What Is Baby doge?

Its main function as a meme coin is to raise awareness of animal welfare and pet adoption. With over 2.5 million followers across all of the social media outlets it looks like it is working.

Once the coin hit the main stream they built multiple apps and tools such as a swap and aggregator, chess game, NFT collections, partnered with payment and wallet apps, farming as a service, Baby Doge Card, exclusive merch discounts for holders, all while donating over $1 million to animal adoption. So the coin is proving its worth out there in the meme market.

There are a few places you can buy the coin but for me the best place for free baby doge is to go to this free baby doge faucet. They payout 1,250,000 Baby doge per claim and you can claim up to 20 times a day.

Baby doge started on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) but has also moved over to the Ethereum (ETH) network. There has been a total supply of 420,000,000,000,000,000 coins minted and of those 50% of them have been burned.

Another really cool option Baby doge has is that it gives anyone that has baby doge in there wallet "it has to be on the BNB smart chain" free baby doge every day. So free Baby doge for doing nothing.

The community receives a 5% fee for every transaction. So every time someone uses baby doge you get a small percentage deposited into your wallet. It is actually a 10% fee for every transaction but the other 5% goes to powering the project and they burn a few.

Overall I really like the coin and hope it hits the roof this coming year like I think all coins will. 2024 is the season of crypto.
