Agriculture STEM

Agriculture STEM

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is deeply integrated into agriculture, offering numerous opportunities for innovation and improvement in various aspects of plant & animal farming.

Agriculture STEM for k-12 audience will improve Agriculture literacy.


Promising application of Agriculture STEM

Hydroponics:

This method of growing plants without soil uses water and nutrient solutions, which requires scientific understanding of plant physiology and engineering principles for system design. 


Drone Technology for precision farming 

Drones equipped with cameras and sensors are used for aerial photography and mapping of fields, providing valuable data for crop monitoring and live stock monitoring.

Precision farming is a management approach that uses technology and data to optimize agricultural practices by tailoring them to specific field conditions, rather than treating an entire field as uniform.

Soil Science for sustainable farming 

STEM disciplines like soil science and hydrology are used to assess soil health and develop sustainable soil management practices. 

Sustainable farming(plant/animal) aims to produce food while minimizing negative impacts on the environment and supporting the long-term health of the land , live stock and the communities involved.

Using livestock manure as fertilizer for crops, integrating different animal species in grazing systems, and developing feed management systems that optimize animal nutrition.

Genetics and Biotechnology for food production & animal farming 

STEM is used to develop genetically modified crops with improved yield, pest resistance, and nutritional value.

Biotechnological advancements in animal breeding, reproduction, and genetic engineering are driving improvements in livestock populations, such as increasing growth rates, improving disease resistance, and enhancing product quality.

"if you give the public freedom, they can kill you," - Rhythm 0

 "if you give the public freedom, they can kill you,"  - Rhythm 0 Rhythm 0 Rhythm 0, the chilling social experiment that exposed the darkest side of human behaviour in 1974. Abramović set the terms simply and chillingly: for six hours she would stand motionless while the audience could use any of 72 objects laid out on a white-draped table. “I am the object. During this period I take full responsibility,” she instructed. The objects ranged from the innocuous to the dangerous, a rose, a hairbrush, a mirror, lipstick, a candle, a comb, a glass, and a gun with a bullet, a knife among them, the arrangement resembling an altar that invited choices both tender and brutal. Maria Abramović’s Marina Abramović's upbringing in post-war Yugoslavia was marked by privilege and strict control, with her parents being decorated WWII partisans and prominent figures in the communist government, leading to a secure but regimented childhood, heavily influenced by her religious grandmother and...

3I-Atlas Closest to Earth on 19 December 2025 danger of hitting Earth

Image
3I-Atlas story so far On July 1, the NASA-funded ATLAS ( Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System ) survey telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile, first reported observations of a comet that originated from interstellar space. Arriving from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, the interstellar comet has been officially named 3I/ATLAS. It is currently located about 420 million miles (670 million kilometers) away. This diagram shows the trajectory of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it passes through the solar system. It will make its closest approach to the Sun in October.  It is currently about 4.5 au (about 416 million miles or 670 million km) from the Sun. 3I/ATLAS will reach its closest approach to the Sun around Oct. 30, at a distance of 1.4 au (about 130 million miles or 210 million km) — just inside the orbit of Mars. 3I-Atlas Closest to Earth on 19 December 2025 danger of hitting Earth Although the trajectory of 3I/ATLAS brought it just inside the orbit of Mars, it is...

Sixth Sense

Image
Sixth Senses  Sixth sense (ESP extra sensory perception)is a power of perception beyond the five senses.  It is an inner sense of guidance that can help you navigate your way through life, to better relationships, health, well-being, and success. It is a cumulative power of all your other senses - sight, sound, taste, touch, smell - that culminates in a stronger sense of inner knowing.
