📈 We all use math, whether in big or small ways. At FA Bio, it would be remiss not to recognize the power of math in our daily work on this Math 2.0 Day. ➕ From the simple tasks like weighing out media recipes, measuring fungicide growth, and performing dilution calculations, to the more complex endeavours such as statistical tests and mathematical analysis of field trial growth data, math is integral. It helps us identify the clear front runners in our search for beneficial microbes for crop sustainability and the damaging microbes that need to be suppressed. ➗ We also appreciate the mathematical advancements in technology that have led to the invention and improvement in PCR thermal cyclers, DNA Sequencing technologies, growth chambers, incubators, autoclaves, and much more, equipment that is key to our work. Tools that provide accuracy to the third decimal place and beyond, making our work more efficient and accurate. These advancements assist us in the exciting discoveries that propel us forward on the path to agricultural sustainability. #Math20Day #Agriculturalsustainability #Innovation #Technology #DataAnalysis

🌎 Today is World Day to combat Desertification and Drought. Desertification and drought are some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Up to 40% of earths land area is already considered degraded.   🌽 Healthy land is responsible for almost 95% of our food, shelter and clothing, provides jobs and protects us from worsening droughts, floods and wildfires. This years theme “United for Land. Our Legacy. Our Future” spotlights the future of land stewardship — our most precious resource to ensure the stability and prosperity of billions of people around the world. 🍄 While we continuously work towards a future of sustainable agriculture at FA Bio, helping to reduce the use of pesticides with bioproducts we appreciate the importance of land stewardship and recognise the part we can play. • Making Eco-Friendly Choices; adopting more sustainable habits. • Engaging in tree-planting activities or local environmental events • Educating ourselves and others about the causes and effects of desertification and drought • Spreading awareness through Social media Read more about todays focus here: https://lnkd.in/ex_KXaP #desertification #drought #sustainability #bioproduct #landstewardship
