Noble Research Institute recently announced its plans to create an ecosystem services market-based platform driven by soil health, water quality improvement and water quantity management. The program aims to incentivize farmers and ranchers to improve soil health on working agriculture lands through a market-based approach.
Newtrient CEO, Steven Rowe, recently attended the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy and USDA to renew a joint commitment toward a sustainable future for the dairy industry.
Each dairy farmer's manure management needs and business goals are unique. While there is no shortage of manure management and nutrient recovery technologies in the market, choosing the right technology can be a huge challenge.
Newtrient's Technology Advancement team comprised of highly experienced experts in the manure management technology fields developed a 9-Point Technology Scoring System to universally evaluate and rate all technologies in the catalog. This 9-Point Technology Scoring System indicates the status and assists in the tracking the progress of the technology in the key areas of Commerical Viability, Economic & Industry Value, and Transparency & Interaction.
There is an abundance of innovative manure management technologies, so it can be challenging to identify which technologies and vendors provide the best solution for your farm's unique business needs. Newtrient is the first company to provide an open-access online Technology Catalog that evaluates over 260 existing and emerging manure-management technologies and provides an unbiased view of today's manure management solutions.
For hundreds of years, people have nourished their families with milk from farm animals, and today our growing population requires more dairy foods than ever. This presents dairy farmers with significantly more of a valuable byproduct, manure. For the most part, manure has been an underused resource. Some have never realized its full value and potential while others simply don’t know where to go for help.
