Hughes’ family has a tradition of breeding for generations. Now, he uses the farm to mine cryptocurrencies with a set of “buffalo plows” that use renewable energy from cow dung. Mining coins with renewable energy With six cylinder engines at 500 rpm, Hughes’ anaerobic digestion system can turn the methane that produces cow dung into electricity. BBC said. Under hypoxic conditions, microorganisms will eat hydrogen and carbon dioxide in cow dung and release methane gas, which can be burned to generate heat. The residue left after the anaerobic stage will be used as fertilizer. Philip Hughes’ farm (left) uses cow dung to produce renewable energy, feed livestock, and mine Ethereum. Photo: Crypto Hunter. According to Hughes, about two-thirds of the electricity generated from the anaerobic digester powers the nearby cattle ranch and caravan park. The rest of the energy is used for “buffalo plow” platforms to mine Ethereum. Hughes said Ethereum mining returns are good, but “depends on the date the question is asked,” referring to the cryptocurrency’s unpredictable price movements. Since May, the value of Ethereum has dropped from more than $4,000 to around $2,500, according to data from . CoinDesk on the evening of 10/6. Is mining with green energy possible? Not only digging Ethereum at the farm, Hughes also came up with the idea of ​​​​renting a “buffalo plow”. Josh Riddett, a representative of Easy Crypto Hunter miner provider, said that the cost to pay is about $ 25,400 for each “buffalo plow” set consisting of many computer graphics cards with strong configuration. According to Riddett, Easy Crypto Hunter’s mining rigs have been installed in 42 different locations. They use energy forms such as solar, wind, hydroelectricity and stored methane from anaerobic digesters. The longevity of the “buffalo plow” platforms causes concern about e-waste.

Meanwhile, the hydroelectric power plant operator said that the unstable value of cryptocurrencies makes it difficult to recover capital for the project. Some people said that crooks broke in and stole the mining rig. Besides hydroelectric power, the initiative to use renewable energy (green energy) to mine cryptocurrencies is also controversial. According to the BBC , renewable energy to mine coins can be used for other purposes such as powering electric cars or heating. Financial economist Alex de Vries said that using green energy to mine coins is wasteful. “The benefits these systems offer are very limited. Bitcoin can only process up to 7 transactions per second, while payment services like Visa can process 65,000 transactions per second if needed.” Vries is also concerned that the longevity of the “buffalo plots” could make them quickly become e-waste. Using renewable energy to mine coins is considered wasteful. Photo: BTCManager. In the UK, the Association of Bioresources and Anaerobic Digestion of the country said that the number of energy plants mining cryptocurrencies is quite small. While the future of cryptocurrency is unclear, several people have expressed interest in Hughes’ mining project. This farmer is fully aware of the risks of investing in assets whose value fluctuates, sometimes with just a single tweet from Elon Musk. If the cryptocurrency market crashes, Hughes said he will use the computing power of the “buffalo” to serve other purposes, such as hiring filmmakers to render. The owner of the net shop removed the machine, digs coins and waits for the translation to end Due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, Mr. Nguyen Minh Quan (Thu Duc City) had to close the net shop, remove the graphics card to dig coins, earn extra income waiting for the reopening date.

– Currently, ASF has reappeared in a number of small livestock establishments in the province. From 5-5 to 11-6, the disease occurred in 11 households, 7 villages and groups of communes and wards: Suoi Tan (Cam Lam district), Cam Phuoc Dong (Cam Ranh city), Phuoc Dong, Vinh Hai (Nha Trang City). The number of dead and diseased pigs forced to destroy 236 pigs with a weight of 10,463kg. It is expected that the disease tends to arise and spread quickly in the near future. – To control ASF, from now until the end of the year, what solutions will the industry have, sir? – ASF is a contagious disease, so proactive monitoring, early detection, warning, timely and effective application of epidemic prevention and control measures is the most important solution. Along with that, the process of analyzing the epidemiological situation shows that pig farms and facilities with good biosecurity and veterinary hygiene conditions will minimize the possibility of infectious diseases. Therefore, the ASF prevention and control plan in 2021 sets out the goal of successfully building at least 4 disease-free pig breeding facilities, meeting the supply of breeders for breeders. The plan also sets a target that 90% of large-scale farm breeding establishments, 50% of medium-sized farm breeding establishments and 30% of small-scale farm breeding establishments will apply pig husbandry measures. biological safety. – To achieve the above goal, what are the requirements and tasks of the plan, sir? – For biosafety pig production, farmers shall declare, update and declare livestock activities with local authorities; strict application of biosecurity measures and good husbandry practices. At the same time, the use of animal feed must have a clear origin and meet the prescribed standards; Limit the use of leftovers and recycled food from restaurants, hotels, and industrial parks. The organization of rearing the herd applies only to pig production facilities that have not been affected by ASF or where the disease is present but 21 days have passed. For localities that have not announced all ASF, they can only be raised at concentrated establishments that have been certified for disease safety, biosecurity or certified by local authorities and veterinary agencies to meet all requirements. disease safety requirements to re-herd and increase herd. Together with breeders, local authorities and veterinary agencies will closely monitor the disease, promptly detect and handle outbreaks as soon as they arise, to avoid spreading. In particular, the timely and proactive declaration of farmers when the pig herd shows signs of disease and the proactive monitoring of the veterinary agency will be implemented in parallel. The plan has specifically calculated the process of culling pigs infected or suspected of being infected; the control of transportation and trade of pigs and pig products; management of pig slaughter and the consumption of pork products; cleaning, decontamination and disinfection of the livestock environment when there is no epidemic and at the points where the epidemic occurs… – Can you tell me the financial mechanism to implement this plan? – According to current regulations, for pig raising establishments, cooperative groups and cooperatives, the State will partially support, farmers partly; and livestock production enterprises and households in joint ventures and production linkages with enterprises in the province to self-finance funds to organize the implementation of ASF prevention and control measures. In 2021, the provincial budget to implement the ASF prevention plan is nearly 3 billion VND, the district budget is more than 1.1 billion VND. Funding from the state budget is mainly used to purchase and organize spraying of chemicals to clean and disinfect the breeding environment; sampling surveillance, ASF diagnosis; propaganda and training on ASF prevention and control… – Thank you Sir!

By page 163 , a group of 6 friends with 4 dogs, rented a land of 1,000 m2 for 20 years and renovated it into a dream farm where they lived together and developed business projects. The farm is located in the middle of the village, there are not many houses around. A group of 6 friends quit their high-paying jobs in the city to move to the suburbs to settle down. The house that had been built for many years was also rented by them. The main building is made up of thick slabs. The space is accentuated by the arches and the swimming pool in front. From a distance, the building looks like a mysterious mansion. The group of friends redesigned the interior, divided the space to accommodate many people, have a common place and an entertainment area. There is a fireplace in the house, perfect for evenings with wine and conversation. Outside is a large lawn, can set up a camping tent. The group of friends also planted a garden with fruits, flowers and vegetables. They cook with their own grown foods. The rest of the waste is returned to the land to make organic, environmentally friendly fertilizers. The interior of the house was conceived and implemented by a group of 6 people. In the garden are all kinds of fruits and vegetables grown according to organic methods, most are apples. In the harvest season, they will post to sell online and quickly sell out. Liu Lurui is the one who comes up with ideas and “draws” friends who “leave the city to go to the countryside”. This is not a temporary intention, but a dream she has cherished for many years. Previously, Liu studied environmental arts at Tianjin University. In the final year, she studied at Politecnico di Torino (Italy) as an exchange student. A group of friends hoeing the ground, planting trees, enjoying a different life. Once, she and her friends happened to be driving to Southern Italy, she was attracted by a very unspoiled farm, with a house built of volcanic stone, in front of the yard with olive and lemon trees. She feels their life is simple but also very lyrical. At that time, because of lack of funds, she and her friends decided to stay on the farm and ask to prune branches to earn money. In the middle of the farm there is a swimming pool, when tired, some people often jump into it to bathe. Liu said that in the first half of his life, it was the happiest period of his life. After returning home, Liu joined the China Institute of Architectural Design and Research. At the busiest time, she was only at home for 2-3 days a month. She had some health problems and had a mental breakdown. Outside of work, she has no time to enjoy life. Liu was happy when he left the city and returned to his hometown. By 2019, Liu had asked 5 of his friends to start a business in the suburbs of Beijing. In April 2020, their HOBO farm was completed. Liu is married and has a small child. Her husband is a technician, because of his busy work in Beijing, he only visits his wife on weekends. During the day they often set up tents, spread carpets, drink red wine and listen to music together. Now, people get to experience the lifestyle they once dreamed of. Before that, 6 people had different jobs. Some are single, some are in the midst of a career crisis. When they returned to the farm together, they found new happiness in life. Currently, the group of friends has many different sources of income such as working online, selling agricultural products from the farm and renting rooms. Sun Dong, a team member, is a graphic designer. She made a great contribution to the design and construction of many items of the farm. Sun loves to interact with the locals. Now, every time she drives into the village, the villagers will greet her with a smile.

The two girls were expected to complete only half a year, but it took 10 months to hand over a special set of models to a customer – a loyal fan of the Harry Potter series in Ho Chi Minh City. Miniature Burrow Farm with hundreds of details In the Harry Potter books, the Burrow is described as the large “twisted, crooked” home of the Weasley family. Not as grand as Hogwarts and not as boisterous as Diagon Alley, but the house is a place that means a lot to fans of the series as it has been described as “the only warm place in Harry Potter’s brutal life in past” – quoted translation. Outside the Hang Soc farm of Thuy Hang, Quynh Nhu. Share with Zing , Hong Thuy said her model of the Grave Farm has a 1:22 scale compared to the size described in the story. The outside structure of the house is made according to the movie, but the interior layout and interior are both created by Thuy and Quynh Nhu. The ideation process for the house took up to 3 months, including many revisions and discussions. “The overall model consists of 1 ground floor and 3 floors. The ground floor has a living room, a kitchen and a working area. The upper 3 floors include 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and an attic. In the Harry Potter movies and books, there is not much information about the layout of the rooms in the house, except for the attic. So I had to build the internal structure to match and be consistent with the outside architecture,” said Hong Thuy. Every little detail is meticulously and skillfully done by the two girls. Every detail in the house is meticulously calculated by Hong Thuy and Quynh Nhu. The couple included ruffled chairs, unwashed pans in pots and moss clinging to the tile floor. Even the scratches on the old wall and the dust on the roof are fully shown. Model of the Weasley family’s flying Ford Anglia car. Hong Thuy revealed that there are hundreds of large and small details in the house. Every detail is carefully handcrafted and the materials selected to match. “Depending on the details, we use materials such as wood, fomex, clay, zinc, paper, plastic, etc. Like the outside of the house, we use small pieces of wood to make the wall. The roof is made of bricks and tiles that I made myself,” said Hong Thuy. Every tiny item in the house is made by the two girls. After 10 months, the Grave Farm model was completed and the two girls breathed a sigh of relief. Hong Thuy said that because of perfectionism, there are many details in the finished house that are still added by the two girls to be more beautiful. The girl confided in Zing : “We do everything until we are satisfied. It can be said that the finished model is better than our initial expectations”. Each room is meticulously shaped. Currently, the model of the house of the Weasley family has been sent to the customer. Hong Thuy refused to disclose the selling price, only revealing that the amount was not small. “I would like to keep the price secret, which is quite high. I do not dare to expect many customers who are passionate enough to order a second The Burrow miniature. Because in Vietnam, this hobby is not popular. My customers have very positive feedback about this model,” said Hong Thuy. Work is only for the patient Besides the model of Hang Soc farm, Hong Thuy and Quynh Nhu have made many other miniature models. This work of the two girls comes from a passion for stop motion animated films. “Currently, this can be considered as my main job. In addition to this model, Quynh Nhu and I also make other products with many different proportions and themes,” said Hong Thuy. The beautiful house makes Harry Potter fans excited. Making a miniature model is not easy, making it beautiful is even more difficult. Someone said that to become a model maker perhaps requires ingenuity, but Hong Thuy denied. She said that the most important thing is to be patient. “Persistence is the most important quality when it comes to modeling. Many people are good with their hands, but they don’t have the perseverance to make a work from start to finish. The second quality is the ability to estimate. Even with imagination, everything can go wrong. So you have to estimate yourself to be able to make that detail accurately. The third quality is the aesthetic ability in arrangement and color selection. Not just making meticulous details, putting them side by side will be beautiful,” said Hong Thuy. Currently, Hong Thuy and Quynh Nhu’s Hang Soc farm model is still receiving many compliments from the online community. The two girls said they will continue to make miniature models, including scenes from Harry Potter stories.

Ten o’clock, symbolizing school love first. When I was a kid, I was a playboy, relatively naughty, although still “ modest “than my friends. Climbing, shooting birds, playing games, fighting, playing around with baskets, hunting field mice… The country children of the distant times only had those little games. However, unlike my friends, I like to grow flowers. Back then, I didn’t know the knowledge about sex like now, but my mother was worried.” I’m a girl “. Flowers to plant also do not have many varieties, many species as now. Eating is not enough, few people in the countryside think about planting flowers. There are only a few species around: yellow chrysanthemums, banana flowers (commonly known as galangal flowers), especially, I like ten o’clock flowers. The garden also allows her mother to grow potatoes and vegetables. I put ten o’clock flowers anywhere, the smallest in terms of area is in the heart of the rice bowl, unfortunately chipped, or found in the dust. in a broken pot…. When I was a little older, I planted it in a bush, in a cluster in the yard and garden, along the small paths leading to the house. I belong to the category of skillful hands, looking for broken bricks and putting them together into lovely flower beds. Now the ten o’clock flower is grown commercially. I heard somewhere in Phu Yen there is “ little mistress “Make a farm of a thousand square meters and grow flowers for ten hours. “ Little mistress This company also opened its own channel on Youtube to introduce and sell. Unlike me, growing in batches, “ rich man “This ten o’clock flower has a variety of products, planting carpets, growing in hanging pots… satisfying billions of needs of “ the faithful ” Portulaca grandiflora. When I was a kid, I planted a few yards. Flowers know” sunshine “like me. The more sunlight, the more brilliant the flowers bloom. Next, plant flowers to know when to cook for parents to work in the fields, if they miss a beating. Flowers bloom around 10-11pm is the most brilliant. Maybe that’s why the flower that is dearest to my childhood is called the Ten o’clock flower? 2. The ten o’clock flowers that I planted in a bowl in the past, now my grandchildren’s generation still grow them in the country garden. To me, it is a grassy, ​​herbaceous, succulent species with small leaves, brittle stem, easy to grow. Cotton multi-layered, colorful, yellow, purple, red, white… This flower is so easy to grow, toss where to live. Click a bud, it will produce a few new buds, the more it is cut, the thicker it will be and has more buds, which means that the flower will bloom more. Before blooming, the flowers are small, then gradually open and widen, it looks very beautiful In the past, no one knew anyone, let alone flowers. Thanks to the Internet, this flower is known by many people. Who learns, type keywords “ Portulaca grandiflora ” immediately, in 0.41 seconds Mr. google will give 19.7 million results. Lots of songs, poems about flowers Ten o’clock. When I was young, I liked to plant. When I grew up, I knew that ten o’clock flowers symbolize love between the couple. Flowers represent loyalty, sacrifice for love. Not only that, the fragile beauty of this flower also symbolizes pure love. Although the flower is anxious, hard, and short, when it is bright, it is so brilliant. The purity of human dignity is always fragile, like the ten o’clock flower. that’s it. A colorful, unforgettable time Maybe that’s why ten o’clock flowers are beautiful, but “ long life “. Or conversely, anything that is pure is difficult to endure, so it is important to attach it to the flower Ten o’clock has that meaning. Blooming near noon, late afternoon withered. “ I love my daughter like a flower that blooms at ten o’clock and is only beautiful at the beginning “, musician Dai Phuong Trang used to exclaim in the song “ Portulaca grandiflora ” your. Short indeed. God does not take everything from anyone, even flowers. It fades quickly, but in return, the flowers of Ten o’clock are full of buds, and they bloom every day with new, splendid and passionate flowers. I like to call Ten o’clock in the sense of human will. Although broken, harsh, battered by each fate, still rise, easy to adapt to survive. Like us, fragile and broken. You know, I always remember the flower Ten o’clock was planted in your ear, in the beginning. Ha Tinh, June 7, 2021 New Year’s Day

Hidden in the dark, the terror of the dark, is a herd of thousands of mice. Wander around the wheat cellar at the Fragar family farm, a seven-hour drive from Sydney. The drought is over, and the Fragar family’s first good harvest in years is being ravaged by rats. But the Fragars weren’t the only victims. Countless farms along Australia’s eastern grain belt are facing a rat epidemic described as the worst in public memory, according to New York Times . Rats in the grain warehouse at the Fragar family farm. Photo: New York Times. The rat epidemic came after years of bountiful crops màng On average, every 10 years, Australia faces a rat epidemic. This year, the rats appeared after a year of favorable rain and wind in 2020. The crops were bountiful, the farmers’ food stores were full, becoming an ideal food source for the rats to multiply. This year’s rat epidemic is also partly caused by the change in people’s farming methods. In the past, farmers used to burn the stubble after each crop, before sowing began. But over the past 15 years, Australian farmers have started sowing seeds directly on the trunks of old food crops, to protect the environment. It was this change that created an additional food supply as well as an ideal nesting place for the rats. Both natural and man-made factors, combined with the rapid reproductive cycle – a single mother can give birth to 6-10 pups in 3 weeks, have caused the rat population to explode into the tens of thousands. million children. Meanwhile, the Australian government has been criticized for its slow response. Recently, after a long period of rat epidemic raging, the New South Wales state government lifted the ban on the use of bromadiolone poison, which is considered a “napal bomb” for rats. Rats on a grain tarpaulin at a farm in Tottenham. Photo: AP. Tottenham is a small town in the midwest region of the state of New South Wales. Residents here said they have never seen a rat epidemic as long as it is now in the past. Winter is now slowly coming to the southern hemisphere, including Australia. Cold weather slows down the growth of mice. Robert Brodin, the owner of a shop in Tottenham, said the number of rats he catches each morning is now 15-20, down by nearly half compared to the previous time. However, Mr. Brodin expressed skepticism about the possibility that the rat epidemic would end just through winter. “They used to say, once they (rats) start eating each other, the rat epidemic will pass. But they have been eating each other since December 2020 and nothing has changed,” Mr. Brodin said. Steve Henry, an expert on rat diseases in Australia, admits it is difficult to predict when the current rat epidemic will pass. Mr. Henry said the rat epidemic can only end when it has peaked. “The epidemic will end when there are too many rats in the ecosystem, all of them interacting with each other, causing the disease to spread quickly. At the same time, the rats run out of food, they will be both sick and hungry, that is when they will attack each other and eat the young,” expert Henry predicted. If the rat population survives the winter in large numbers, the size of the rat population will explode again in the spring, then the situation could be worse. Until the rat epidemic is over, it will continue to be a psychological burden for people living in the areas directly affected. Life turned upside down “I feel like I’m watching the rats gnaw away at the family’s future,” said Kathy Fragar. During the first half of 2021, the rat epidemic has spread across southern Queesland, New South Wales and northern Victoria, the three wealthiest eastern states in Australia. “The rat epidemic is the flip side of a rare lucky year out of the worst drought in a century.” New York Times comment. Not only attacking crops, rats even attack people in the house. They get into the air conditioning system, destroy household appliances, eat poultry. Communication systems in some areas of Australia were disrupted when rats bitten telecommunications cables. Rats biting power lines also short-circuited and set a house on fire in New South Wales. Mr. Terry Klante emptied the rat out of the trap. Photo: New York Times. The rat epidemic makes people do things every day that no one is interested in. At the stores, employees set traps every night, and in the morning drown the rats they catch. In residential areas, “cremation yards” sprang up, where people bring the bodies of rats they find or kill for incineration. Hospitals also struggle with hygiene requirements against the invasion of rats. Jeff Fragar, the family’s ranch owner, said the loss of wheat storage was noticeable due to rat infestation. Mr. Fragar hopes to be able to sell 500 tonnes of the 700 tonnes of wheat already harvested on the farm. Even with such an optimistic figure, the family still lost $30,000. Many farmers find themselves in a situation where their goods are returned because rats are found in their lots. Mr. Fragar said the family’s biggest concern right now is the risk of not being able to continue growing the next crop. The Fragar family farm is in its infancy. The swarm of rats will eat whatever seed man sows in the ground. But if we continue to wait, the ideal time for sowing will pass, the farm is at risk of crop failure, or even no crop to harvest. The NSW Farmers lobby group warned New South Wales could lose billions of dollars as the rat epidemic affects the upcoming wheat, barley and canola crops. “We haven’t been able to plant anything for three years now because of the drought. We’ve only had half a year of good weather, and then the rats have ruined everything. If the weather doesn’t continue to be favorable, I can saying that our luck has run out. The bank will no longer help us,” said Mr. Fragar. Can only wait Jo Randall lives more than 100 kilometers south of the Fragars’ farm. The woman said she cried when she discovered that the rats had entered the house and destroyed the furniture. The Randalls consider themselves lucky because they were able to protect the farm from rats, by actively trapping and burning the farmland. But the Randalls live in an old house, with many cracks, easily infested by rats. Even when it was cold in the morning, Mrs. Randall often had to open the window to release the stench from the rats. A domestic dog chases mice under a grain-covered canvas on the farm of George Greig’s family. Photo: New York Times. In the house, there were traces of rats everywhere. Mrs. Randall’s phone case was crushed at the edge. The sound system of the family is damaged by biting the wire. Rats leave teeth marks on many other household objects. For Mrs. Randall, the ultimate limit was the rats getting into the bed. This finally happened, when the woman found rat droppings on the bed sheet. “Ultimately we have to accept the fact that we’re not going to win this war, we’re not going to get rid of the rats. The best we can do is wait for the rat epidemic to pass,” Ms. Randall said. .

The first robot tractor in operation on the farm in the UK. Photo: TL. According to Fram Famers (UK), commercial robot tractors have been put into operation at Home Farm Nacton (member of Fram), in Suffolk (United Kingdom), from mid-April. Technological improvement required, along with difficulties in finding seasonal labor, led to the investment of robot tractors at the aforementioned farm. Home Farm, which specializes in organic agricultural production, received the Robotti 150D from Agrointelli, a Danish company. It was the first robot tractor to operate in the UK, and is now fully operational on the farm. The Robotti 150D is used to till the soil to prevent weeds from sprouting by using a harrow attachment. In the near future, Robotti 150D at Home Farm will be used to perform many other jobs such as mowing the lawn, punching holes to plant onions, etc. Home Farm produces both organic and conventional vegetables, including leeks, bok choy, onions, beets, potatoes, sugar beets and grains, on 1,940 hectares. The farm is looking to apply more advanced technology to production and business activities. Andrew Williams, Home Farm manager, said: “A large portion of our produce is organic, so we are increasingly limited in how we can control weeds. Organic production requires a lot of repetitive work as the beds are constantly plowed and weeded. Meanwhile, sourcing seasonal workers, mainly foreigners, has become increasingly difficult. We want to look to the future of farming and Robotti fits our setup perfectly.” Designed and manufactured by Agrointelli, the Robotti 150D is controlled automatically by GPS via an integrated computer, independent of the operator, instead following a pre-programmed route in the field. Tractor Robotti 150D. Source: Agrointelli. “Accuracy lies in the GPS mapped field, with Robotti always taking the exact same lines,” explains Frederik Rom, sales manager for Agrointelli. It is equipped with an RTK GPS, so setting up on any farm is simple. It takes about 10 minutes to map the 4-acre field at Home Farm and another 10 minutes to log the weeding plan into the system. It is important that this is correct from the start, as it will determine reliable performance.”

The key to the success of seaweed farming is its growing commercial potential. Illustration: sciencefriday. A new study argues that growing a sufficient number of green seaweeds can help reduce pollution, absorbing most of the harmful waste. The study’s co-author, Phoebe Racine, said the thesis was just an early idea and implementation would take time, but given the lack of progress in other aspects, “there was no other option.” in addition to considering alternative methods”. Racine, a researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara, says growing a variety of seaweed species in less than 1 percent of the Gulf of Mexico’s waters could help the United States meet pollution reduction goals that are already out of reach. . She and her colleagues mapped the suitable area for seaweed cultivation in the Gulf, and the suitable area could be more than 38,500 square kilometers. The Gulf of Mexico is being choked with agricultural and municipal waste. In May 2019, the Mississippi River discharged an average of more than 5,000 tons of nitrates and 800 tons of phosphorus into the Gulf of Mexico, the highest levels in 40 years. These excess nutrients from farm fertilizers and animal waste in the Midwest robs the oceans of oxygen off the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, fueling toxic algae blooms that have led to the so-called “dead zone”. Eutrophication (also known as eutrophication) is when there are too many nutrients in the pond/lake such as nitrate, phosphorus, which exceed the self-regulating capacity of the pond/lake, causing dense growth of plant and animal death due to lack of oxygen. To environmental experts, this problem seems intractable. Called eutrophication, dead zones are proliferating all over the world. There are more than 700 coastal areas worldwide that are “dead zones” or negatively impacted by currents. While the United States bears the bulk of agricultural waste, municipal wastewater is the main culprit in South America, Asia, and Africa. Annually, they cause economic losses of $3.4 billion in Europe and the United States alone by affecting tourism and fishing resources; while reducing property values, water treatment and adverse health effects. Over the past 10 years, 85 communities in the United States have spent a total of more than $1 billion to prevent or treat toxic algal blooms. Among the hardest hit areas is at the mouth of the Mississippi River, where the continued discharge of domestic waste from the heart of the United States has destroyed the local seafood and tourism industries. The Mississippi River empties into the Gulf of Mexico, carrying fertilizer and livestock waste from Midwestern farms. Photo: Bloomberg. Growing seaweed is considered as one of the green solutions to solve this problem. Seaweed farming dates back to 1,700 years ago in China. Today, countries like Indonesia and the Philippines, along with China and South Korea, lead the world in this area. In South Korea, where aquaculture has grown by 300% in the past 30 years, an intensive effort has proven its usefulness as a waste reduction tool. According to one study, farms that grow three major seaweed species and two shellfish species (all filter feeds without additional feed) accounted for 5.7% of carbon dioxide and 8.6% of carbon dioxide emissions. nitrogen emissions from all wastewater treatment plants in Korea. The key to the success of seaweed farming is its growing commercial potential. These aquatic plants can absorb excess nitrogen and phosphorus, turning it not only into food for humans, but also expanding a range of other commercial uses. The most commonly grown seaweeds include red or brown algae or algae. Some are used to make culinary thickeners or jellies for culturing bacteria in the lab. Others are dried into sheets for sushi rolls. While sugar kelp can be used as a sweetener, kelp is also used in toothpaste, shampoo, frozen foods, and even pharmaceuticals. Making seaweed farms profitable will be an important consideration to promote them as an agricultural and municipal waste treatment solution. Asia currently has a very strong demand for seaweed. Human consumption, which includes everything from sushi rolls to broths to salads, is the largest market for harvested seaweed. But growing demand can also be seen in the cosmetic and fertilizer industries, as well as aquafeeds. However, mass aquaculture faces a number of significant obstacles, particularly its labor-intensive nature. Globally, the demand for seaweed is forecast to double to $30 billion by 2025. However, in the United States, the seaweed market is relatively small. Gretchen Grebe, an aquaculture scientist at the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, says seaweed farming in the US is largely “in the R&D phase.” “Using seaweed farming to remediate any large amounts of nutrient pollution would require significant expansion — the current scale of farming wouldn’t even matter,” says Grebe. In the United States, states have different regulations regarding aquaculture licensing. While it’s relatively easy to get a seaweed farm permit in Maine and Alaska, in California it requires meeting a stack of overlapping regulations. Bailey Moritz, Program Manager of the World Wildlife Fund, said: “Offshore activities hold promise. Our goal is to see seaweed growth that will have meaningful impacts [đối với sự suy giảm chất dinh dưỡng], and scale is needed for that.” But large-scale offshore seaweed farming is still at least a decade away from taking place in the US, and only when biofuels, bioplastics and animal feed are generated enough. need. Seaweed holds great promise, Grebe said, but scientists are quick to point out that the main driver is the imperative to reduce watershed waste inputs. “We are asking a lot of seaweed farmers to treat the nutritional waste that we dump into the Gulf,” she concludes.

While studying at the Aviation Academy, Quynh Nhu decided to quit to return to her hometown to continue her family business because the 20-hectare farm was her parents’ lifelong passion. Quynh Nhu’s “everything” farm makes everyone fall in love. The farm has orchards, fish ponds and many other agricultural products. Quynh Nhu in the area growing clean vegetables in a greenhouse. Quynh Nhu’s family farm has a large area of ​​cashew, rubber and fruit trees, the other part grows green vegetables and many different agricultural products. Admiring the vast farm, thousands of fruit trees make everyone excited. Some young people even have to say “or should I go back to my hometown to raise fish and grow more vegetables” to live in a peaceful space like Quynh Nhu. It is known that the main income of the farm comes from 10 hectares of cashew trees and hydroponic clean vegetable gardens, while other fruits and vegetables are grown by Quynh Nhu’s family mainly to meet the needs of the family and to donate. relatives, friends. However, every year, the family also harvests countless kinds of fruits such as durian, mangosteen, rambutan, jackfruit, guava, breast milk … In addition, Quynh Nhu’s family also uses a small area to grow apricot flowers, roses and orchids. Every tree is full of fruit and the product is delicious. Sharing about the process of farming, Quynh Nhu said: “The farm is large and far from home, so it is very difficult to manage and take care of, especially the lack of water in the dry season, or sometimes the loss of water. thieves… But with the passion and experience of my parents, the trees are still lush and beautiful until now.” Thanks to the favorable nature, most of the farm’s fruit trees grow very well, just need to add organic fertilizer. “My family has a lot of fruit trees, there are fruits all year round,” Quynh Nhu happily shared. The garden is adorned with a variety of vibrant flowers. The lush vegetable garden carries the gardener’s desire for a brand of clean agricultural products. Quynh Nhu shared, the farm has been with the family for nearly 30 years. With a passion for plants, in 2020, she established her own brand of hydroponic clean vegetables to bring products to more people. “In the past, I grew roses, planted orchids, then I started to love growing vegetables, tubers and fruits. I started growing vegetables with a 5m2 terrace on my house to have clean vegetables for my children to eat. Later, my parents facilitated me to develop a brand with an area of ​​1,000m2 from the family farm”, Quynh Nhu said. Quynh Nhu’s brand of clean vegetables specializes in providing high-quality salad vegetables, nutritious leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach, rainbow spinach, purple kale, herbs and spices and approx. More than 20 kinds of super spicy chili. The lush farm makes netizens want to leave their hometown to “raise fish and grow more vegetables”. Despite the hard work of gardening, Quynh Nhu always feels peace and happiness, she said: “Looking at the green vegetable garden, or the feeling of biting a sweet breast milk, and especially being praised by everyone for “the garden”. My family likes it so much, my fruit is so delicious, I can eat it with peace of mind”… just that much makes me happy. My family’s gardening motto is “don’t need a lot of money”. being taken care of, seeing the fruit is pleasing to the eye, and then everyone eats the fruit and says it’s delicious.” In order to continue to nurture her “fairy garden”, Quynh Nhu said she will try to learn more experiences, especially learn more about hydroponic vegetables and update new plant varieties. “I just hope the whole family will always be healthy to continue to take care of this garden, especially my brand of clean vegetables will become a friend for every family, bringing safe clean green meals, especially for babies of weaning age”, Quynh Nhu confided.

“Many large mining owners have contacted me to move their rigs to North America, Europe, Kazakhstan,” Edward Evenson, business development manager at mining firm Slush Pool, said on Twitter. Where does the owner of the Chinese coin farm move? According to Mr. Evenson, the large ASIC mining pools in Xinjiang are being moved to other regions in Central Asia. However, many new batches of miners from companies such as Bitmain, MicroBT are moving directly to North America. Bitcoin farm owners in China will have to find new locations to operate, after the country’s government announced a ban on mining. Photo: Bloomberg. This expert said that the coin farmers who contacted him to move out of China own a miner with a total power consumption of up to 400 MW. This is equivalent to the entire electricity consumption of all Bitcoin mining pools in Quebec, Canada. Meanwhile, Dovey Wan, founder of consulting firm Primitive Ventures, said that in addition to Pakistan and Kazakhstan, countries that are near and have policies to attract Chinese businesses, many companies can choose to move machines. dug into Africa because electricity here is very cheap. Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, believes that major mining companies in China will gradually move to the US. “I think in the near future most of the mining capacity will be going to the US and some other parts of the world,” Saylor, a frequent crypto advocate, said in an interview with Cointelegraph. CNN . Many Chinese regions such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Sichuan are home to large Bitcoin mining factories. Photo: Bloomberg. Before China strongly banned Bitcoin mining, mining in the country accounted for 65% of the global Bitcoin mining capacity. Immediately after the ban, BTC.TOP, which accounts for 2.5% of Bitcoin capacity, announced the cessation of operations in the Chinese territory. According to the Coin Telegraph In the past few years, the region of Quebec, Canada has also become an attractive area for coin ranchers because of cheap electricity and many hydroelectric plants. This is considered a green energy source, with less emissions than thermal power plants. “There are currently about 90 companies in this industry operating in Quebec,” said Jonathan Côté, representative of Hydro-Québec hydroelectric power company. Mr. Evenson assessed that the diversification of the location of coin farmers has taken place in the past, but China’s ban on mining will accelerate this process. China bans mining but still dominates the world coin market One of the most controversial topics of the past few years has been the dominance of mining pools in China over the rest of the world. Many cryptocurrency advocates fear this outperformance will make Bitcoin’s decentralization worthless. China’s ban on Bitcoin mining may create hope that mining capacity will be less concentrated in large Chinese companies. However, experts say that no matter where they move to operate, the mining camps still belong to the Chinese. “Whether registered and operated in another region such as the US, Kazakhstan or Africa, the truth is that the mining pools still belong to Chinese companies. This transition only makes centralized networks difficult. more monitoring,” said Mrs. Dovey Wan. Yusan Zheng, founder and director of fund management company Waterdrip Capital also believes that China’s ban on mining will make it difficult for small companies, and large companies to benefit. “To find new locations for mining camps, companies will have to spend a lot of money. Only large, experienced companies can go through this stage,” said Mr. Yusan Zheng during the meeting. chat of CoinDesk . According to many experts, even if China bans mining, the world’s largest coin farms still belong to the Chinese. Photo: Bloomberg. Centralization has always been a threat to Bitcoin in particular, and all cryptocurrencies operating on the blockchain in general. If all the newly created Bitcoins were in the control of a few large companies, the neutrality and accuracy of the blockchain would be at stake. Inner Mongolia, one of the regions with the most mining camps in China, has recently proposed multiple penalties for miners. According to the proposed bill, telecommunications, Internet, software parks, or even internet companies that mine or provide resources for mining could have their electricity cut off, withdrawn or even confiscated. license revocation. The bill also stipulates that violators will be blacklisted for their social credit scores, meaning they won’t be able to borrow money from banks or use public transportation. Previously, the Inner Mongolia government also announced a hotline for people to call and report cases of illegal mining. Coin Telegraph The ban on Bitcoin mining will bring many benefits to China. The country has both met its climate target and can boost circulation of the digital yuan as cryptocurrencies are banned from trading. Meanwhile, Chinese businesses operating coin farms abroad will still have to pay taxes.

Super wind power project floating off the coast of Iceland provides green electricity to the UK worth 30 billion USD. Photo: North Coast of England/Documentary. The HIP Atlantic project, which aims to deploy 10 GW turbines offshore the UK, is a joint venture involving Spanish oil and gas company Repsol. This project is the result of cooperation between two groups of UK and US. IPC Group is an Anglo-American joint venture based in the UK, specializing in the development of international gas plants. Hecate Wind is part of Hecate Energy, a company owned by Hecate Holdings that develops solar and electric batteries, in which Spanish oil and gas company Repsol has just acquired a 40% stake to increase its footprint in the industry. renewable energy sector. The press release about the mega-project says that HIP Atlantic will be “completely under the control of the UK electricity system operator”, being “the first wind farm on overseas waters”. According to the plan, the first phase is to build a 4 GW wind farm connected to the UK electricity grid and two single 1 GW wind farms, hundreds of kilometers south of British waters. and in the east of Iceland. The investors of the HIP Atlantic project said that the first 2 GW could be put into operation from 2025. HIP Atlantic expects the first phase of the project to create 15,000 new jobs in the UK and 500 new jobs in the UK. Iceland. Expand the offshore wind energy area. Project Chairman Tony Baldry, former UK Energy Secretary, said the HIP Atlantic project implements British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s vision to attract investment and create jobs in the North of England, as part of of the ambitious policy of making Britain a world leader in offshore wind energy; We will expand the UK wind power sector beyond traditional water, extending the frontiers of current cable technology for power generation within 1,000km of land-based grid points. his”. Floating offshore wind farms are the British agenda. The UK has set a target of 1 GW of energy from floating offshore wind farms by 2030, as part of the 30 GW target plan for offshore and seabed wind.

More and more Chinese tourists are visiting the farms and enjoying the fresh produce. Tourists pick persimmons at an orchard in Shufeng village, eastern China. Photo: CNN According to CNN, China is one of the largest domestic tourism markets in the world. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism estimates that over 4 billion trips will be made across China by 2021, with a market value exceeding $500 billion. Given that an outbound tourism model is not viable due to pandemic restrictions, the need for an alternative domestic option is not surprising – especially since China is the home. of 55 World Heritage Sites recognized by UNESCO. However, not only looking to the historical and natural wonders in the country, people now look to a different atmosphere when returning to the peaceful countryside. In posts posted on the social network Weibo, an account named Ancailie said that after a day of picking strawberries, planting rice and eating food raised by her own hands, she felt “much happier”. Another user, laozhenyiwen, described how his family caught fish and ate seafood during the last Labor Day holiday as an enjoyable experience and “avoiding the crowds”. China-owned Trip.com, one of the world’s largest online travel agencies, said that in March 2021, rural trips in China increased by more than 300% compared to same period last year. People in China’s big cities are tired of urban life and are looking for something healthier. Tourists are painting nature at Xiaolingnan, Anhui province. Photo: CNN This trend has become so popular that Trip.com is planning a “five-year action” to promote rural tourism, including linking up with 10,000 professional travel agents to focus on developing the field. and invested 1 billion yuan (US$150 million). Zhou Mingqi, founder and general manager of Shanghai Tour Guide Enterprise Management Consulting, said Chinese people are getting tired of not having many entertainment spaces and unique experiences in the country’s big cities. “They need a different life experience, a peaceful weekend away,” he explains. Wang Shang works for a Beijing-based company that helps coordinate tours and activities in the countryside. She says that on one of the tours she runs, visitors can experience fruit growing, participate in an agricultural development model, and learn about the traditional crafts and customs of the region. . “Most of the tourists who join these tours are kindergarten or primary school students with their parents,” Wang said. Some rural retreats can be reasonably minimalist, with activities as simple as strawberry picking, visiting a folk museum or attending local musicals. In Wang’s opinion, there are two main reasons why people are enthusiastic about vacationing in the countryside. It is a quiet space to be alone and experience a healthy lifestyle. One of the resorts Wang affiliated with in Shandong province opened in May 2020 – right after the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic passed in China – quickly being booked by tourists. “The population density in rural areas is very low. The control and prevention measures are also very good,” explained Wang. People like to experience life with nature. Photo: CNN Besides, living in a country that is full of scandals related to food contamination, tourists feel safer and healthier when they grow clean foods themselves. The trend of “going home to rest” is also strongly promoted by influential figures on the Internet, such as Ly Tu That. Videos of this girl living in the countryside, cooking dishes from home-grown ingredients by herself on the peaceful background of music have attracted tens of millions of views. Wang said she believes rural tourism is just getting started and that in the future, tours will focus more on China’s myriad local cultures. “Looking at agricultural and rural development policies in recent years, I think that rural areas have a lot of potential. I think in the future there will be more tourism products with content based on local culture, that is, tours with cultural depth,” Wang said.

Ms. Hoang Embroidery beside her lush plants. Every day, after completing her work at Cam Pha General Hospital, Ms. Hoang Theu returns home and spends time tending to the family’s rooftop garden. For many years, her garden was filled with lush vegetables and fruits, covering the terrace such as lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, water spinach,…. Share with Infonet , Ms. Embroidery said, planting trees on the terrace will face more difficulties than planting in a ground garden. Because there are strong winds on the terrace, the vines such as gourds and squash are easily impacted and lead to withered leaves, so be careful and meticulous when taking care. The 40-square-meter garden is arranged neatly and neatly arranged by Mrs. Embroidery to place more than 70 pots and foam boxes, enough to grow seasonal vegetables for the family’s daily needs. “In summer, strong sunlight is also a challenge when planting trees on the terrace, trees are susceptible to water shortage, leading to wilting and death. But depending on each time, I also have to find reasonable solutions for my sky garden ”, said Ms. Theu. In the garden in addition to the usual seasonal vegetables, Ms. Embroidery loves to grow kale, including curly kale and dinosaur kale. Both types belong to the herbaceous family, growing in clusters, first discovered in the US, so they are quite suitable for the cold season in Vietnam. There is a variety of vegetables in the garden, but Ms. Embroidery grows watercress and water spinach the most. These are also easy to grow vegetables that can be harvested throughout the year. The green terrace garden is as fruitful as the mother’s farm in Quang Ninh Sharing the secret of growing vegetables, Ms. Embroidery said: “I plant with decomposed organic fertilizer and water twice a week with soybean fertilizer, garbage manure, and banana manure. I buy seeds to cultivate like normal vegetables, Kale is a cold-loving variety, so the colder the weather, the more loose soil will help the plant grow faster ”. The garden not only provides vegetables for the family, helps Ms. Embroidery satisfy her passion for gardening, but also is a place for her to have moments of relaxation and comfort after each working day.

Source: NYT After years of delays, the federal government approved the third offshore wind project in the US – and the biggest to date. The “Vineyard Wind” project consists of 84 giant turbines that will be built about 19 km from the Vineyard and Nantucket islands off the coast of Massachusetts. Vineyard Wind will have 800 Megawatts of generating capacity, outperforming Block Island Wind’s 30 MW and output from two test turbines installed in Virginia. According to the US Department of the Interior, this project, after going into operation in 2023, will generate enough energy to supply 400,000 homes and businesses. “Vineyard Wind” is a joint project between the energy company Avangrid Renewables and the Copenhagen Infrastructure Construction Company. It is expected that, when operating at full capacity, the Vineyard Wind farm has a total investment of 2 billion USD, can generate 800 MW of electricity / day. The Joe Biden government has a target by 2030 to generate 30 gigawatts of wind power. Interior Minister Deb Haaland evaluated the US licensing for this project as an important step to achieve the set goals of creating more jobs, combating climate change and strengthening the country. The US currently operates a number of small-scale wind farms off the coast of Virginia and Rhode islands.

Beluga fish is owned by Vietnam Sturgeon Group (CTVN) and has been raised since 2010 on farms in Binh Thuan, Dak Lak, Binh Dinh, Lam Dong, Son La. According to the representative of the group, CTVN has a stock of about 5 million fish, of which the Beluga sturgeon has a number of nearly 100,000, reaching a weight of 5-30 kg / fish, especially fish weighing up to 80 kg. CTVN is currently one of the few units that can breed sturgeon in Vietnam. In 2007, CTVN Group established sturgeon hatcheries in Vietnam, located in Tuyen Lam Lake, City. Da Lat. Broodstock were selected from fish farms in Germany and Russia. At the beginning of its establishment, the first batch of hatchlings were imported and technically supported by Russian experts. By 2010, when the first herds of fish matured, Caviar de Duc sturgeon eggs were on the market, considered the first batch of fish successfully propagated in Vietnam. According to the representative of the group, CTVN’s rearing procedures are followed by special technology consulted by leading Russian experts. In addition to meticulous care according to the scientific regime, CTVN’s farms are also located in hydroelectric reservoirs at an altitude of 500-900m, where there is great flow and clean water all year round, heat. The coolness is about 18-27 degrees Celsius, ensuring all parameters of water quality, environment no different from the natural growth zones of sturgeon in Europe. The production process of the CTVN farm system has been rigorously tested and certified to meet VietGap standards, and at the same time is continuously improving and consolidating the quality indicators system towards GlobalGap standards. As a result, sturgeon raised on CTVN farms retain its inherent natural taste, and the quality of meat and fish eggs is not inferior to that of wild caught sturgeon. Protect fish “million dollars” After more than 10 years of establishment and development, CTVN’s farm system has expanded with an area of ​​about 160,000 square meters. Previously, Vietnam had to import fish eggs from abroad, now CTVN can produce breed eggs by themselves. In particular, the fact that CTVN is a rare unit in Vietnam and Southeast Asia owning a rare and super-rare Beluga herd marks a major turning point in the development of our country’s cold-water fisheries. Beluga is one of the special sturgeon species, known as the “million dollar” fish because not only fish have high nutritional value, but their eggs are very rare. A mature Beluga fish for eggs in the natural environment requires 20 years of age and an adult weight can reach 900 kg. Beluga sturgeon eggs have a market price of between $ 7,000 and $ 10,000 / kg, among the top 10 most luxurious dishes on the planet. Beluga fish meat is delicious and firm, nutritious, healthy, is a nutritious dish with high content of calcium and phosphorus as well as protein, selenium, iron, magnesium and vitamins B12, B6, vitamin C, A and D and especially Omega-3 fatty acids. Regular use of sturgeon and caviar is beneficial for brain function, helps reduce the risk of depression, prevent heart disease, foster the body and restore health. However, in Vietnam, the number of people who have the opportunity to enjoy this rare fish meat is very few because there was no place in our country where Beluga could raise them for commercial purposes. In addition, this fish is an endangered species, so in the world, it is declining about 60% in the wild and is still the red listed fish. Therefore, having a unit like CTVN succeeding in breeding and breeding sturgeon in general and Beluga in particular has brought a lot of meaning in preserving nature, bringing economic and social values. According to CTVN, the group can bring to domestic and international high-end products including Beluga fish meat and Caviar (black fish roe) with great reach. CTVN Group currently has 6 member companies operating in the field of egg hatching and breeding, sturgeon rearing and black caviar production with Caviar De Duc brand – the brand named National Brand 2020.

The process of raising Ca cuong according to the Aquaponist model of Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan brings high economic efficiency. Sharing about her start-up journey from the Ca cuong farming model, Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan said that Phuoc Chi commune is considered a pure agricultural commune, so people here mainly grow rice and since childhood she has been attached to it. with fields, garden vegetables, frogs, frogs…; in it, there is a Ca cuong However, due to the changing habitat, the wild Ca cuong is gradually disappearing in the wild. In 2015, through researching on the information pages, she learned that Tay Ninh has successfully propagated Ca cuong in captivity, so she came to buy seed for trial at home. Through many times of raising and propagating Ca cuong failed because she did not know well about Ca cuong species, but with determination, not discouraged, she finally understood the technical process of raising Ca cuong. At the end of 2016, she has invested in 10 ponds with 2,000 breeders. In 2017, she started selling the first batch of Ca cuong and was popular with consumers. The benefits brought back far exceeded the plan with the average price of 30,000 – 130,000 VND / commercial Ca cuong and 100,000-200,000 VND / Ca cuong seed. According to Lan, Ca cuong is a fast-reproducing species with large numbers and lays all year round. Each birth is only 1 – 1.5 months apart / litter. Each nest of Ca cuong has about 100 eggs, after 5-7 days the eggs hatch into larvae, the hatching rate is nearly 100%. From hatching to commercial sale about 45 days, while raising for spawning about 75 days. Currently, Ms. Lan’s Ca cuong farm has an area of ​​3,000 m2. Raising Ca cuong is not difficult, but multiplying Ca cuong herds is not easy because Ca cuong is very sensitive to the environment, especially pesticides, in order to raise Ca cuong, it is necessary to choose a cool place, the water source is not polluted. . Therefore, farmers need to continuously monitor the growth and reproduction of Ca cuong to adjust appropriate care to achieve the best results. However, according to Lan, the food for Ca cuong is fresh food such as fish, baby frogs, and baby frogs, so when the food is not consumed, it is easy to pollute the water source. To ensure that the water source for raising Ca cuong is clean enough, farmers must change the water regularly. In addition, the process of growth from hatching to maturity, they undergo 5 molting, each time the farmer has to follow up to remove the embryo, so it takes a lot of time. The process of raising Ca cuong according to the Aquaponist model of Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan brings high economic efficiency. In early 2020, by learning about the aquaponist model (a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics grown hydroponics), she realized that this model was suitable for her Ca cuong farm. Investing in building 30 more Ca cuong ponds with a scale of nearly 10,000 fish and stocking dozens of pounds of fish, along with 1,000 m2 of organic vegetable gardens to produce under a closed process. Ms. Lan shared, when applying the aquaponist model, Ca cuong, the food of Ca cuong (which is a fish) and vegetables will be grown in the same circulatory system. Ca cuong eats food and produces waste products in the water. Water containing waste is fed into mechanical and microbiological filtration system. Thanks to the participation of beneficial bacteria, the wastewater from the aquarium will be converted to organic nutrients into vegetable growing tanks, vegetables absorb nutrients in the water, then purify the water and provide backwards. back to the Ca cuong and the spiny fish tanks. As a result of the application of aquaponist technology, Lan’s Ca cuong herd grows healthier, the wastage rate is low, thereby saving 30% of the cost of food for Ca cuong, 50% reduction in the amount of clean water supplied. daily and 70% reduction in labor force. Ms. Lan also said that each month, her Ca cuong farm supplies to the market more than 10,000 commercial Ca cuong, after deducting the cost, bringing in profits from 40 to 50 million VND per month. In addition, thanks to the reduction of input fees, the source of Ca cuong seed sold by Ms. Lan is also 40% lower than the market price. The process of raising Ca cuong, growing aquatic vegetables according to the Aquaponist model of Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan brings high economic efficiency. According to Ms. Lan, at present, consumers are mainly aware of products processed from Ca cuong meat such as fried, steamed … because Ca cuong meat and eggs contain many proteins, lipids and vitamins. However, the most valuable of the Ca cuong is the bag of essential oils in the belly of the male Ca cuong. Foreseeing this, in addition to selling Ca cuong seeds, meat, realize that Ca cuong fish sauce is one of the products that still preserves the essential oils of Ca cuong, the delicious and fatty taste is accepted by the market. Lan continues to invest in production lines and fish sauce processing to diversify products from Ca cuong, increase value and have more stable output while more and more businesses and farmers invest. to cultivate this insect. In order to build a brand for the product, capture the One-Commune Program (OCOP), right from the moment the program was launched, she applied for the Ca cuong fish sauce product called “Phong Lan”. . Since registering for the certification of OCOP products, a good reputation, many companies, businesses, and supermarkets have come to find out about the product and more and more orders are placed, Ms. Lan chalk. Khoi said.

The importance of Chinese mining farms is evident in the accident at a coal mine in Xinjiang. This incident caused nearly a third of the world’s crypto mining network to be interrupted over the weekend. Bitcoin price has also plummeted since April 18 and there is no sign of recovery. The incident caused Bitcoin’s mining capacity to decline According to the Fortune A coal mine in Ho Do Bich district, Xinjiang was overflowed, trapping 21 workers inside on April 11. The workers were then rescued. A week later, the coal mine is still shut down to check the safety of workers, so it is not able to supply enough fuel for power plants in the region. The coal mine incident in Xinjiang left more than 20 workers trapped. Photo: AP. This causes Bitcoin mining farms, which consume huge amounts of electricity, to stop working. At the end of the following week, April 17-18, the capacity of the global Bitcoin network dramatically plummeted. Bitcoin’s difficulty to “mine”, calculated as the total algorithmic capacity (also known as hashrate) of the computers on the network, has dropped sharply from over 160 EH / s to around 130 EH / s. By the morning of April 23, this number was still around 133 EH / s. Before the incident, experts all considered China to play an important role in the Bitcoin mining network. However, the flood showed that almost all the miners in Xinjiang are located in Ho Do Bich district and surrounding areas, depending on the fuel source of the same coal mine. “This accident confirmed the predictions, possibly even confirming that the mining capital in Xinjiang is much smaller than previously thought. It shows China’s dominance in Bitcoin mining. , and concerns about security, “said Alex de Vries, an economist specializing in tracking the use of Bitcoin mining energy. Inner Mongolia, China, has banned Bitcoin mining since May to minimize the environmental impact. Photo: Getty. The incident also showed that the energy source for Bitcoin mining still mainly comes from coal. Not only in China, in many regions in the US such as New York state or Kentucky, mining farm owners also take advantage of old factories to get cheap electricity. This is Bitcoin’s danger to the environment. The bad side of Bitcoin “Carbon footprint”, the term for the amount of CO2 emitted when mining Bitcoin is about to exceed the emissions of the whole country of Australia and greater than the technology giants like Facebook, Google or Microsoft combined. The negative impact on the environment is the ugly face of Bitcoin. In addition to Xinjiang, Bitcoin is also banned from mining in Inner Mongolia, China from May to here because of environmental impact. It is also the region that contributes about 4% of the world’s Bitcoin mining capacity. Of course, there are Bitcoin farms that use renewable energy as well. However, this power source is considered to be unstable, difficult to ensure that it runs 24/7. “Miners often do not like renewable energy because they are difficult to guarantee to run 24 hours a day. Green energy is not suitable for Bitcoin,” said de Vries. Much of Bitcoin is mined on farms in China. Photo: Bloomberg. In the Bitcoin mining game, miners need to take full advantage, because only those who complete the first series of computations will be rewarded with Bitcoin. The number of miners joining the network more and more, so the reward received Bitcoin is less and less. Miners therefore need the machine to run continuously. Mr. de Vries said that about 70% of Bitcoin created using fossil energy, of which the majority is coal. Bitcoin’s price increase almost 6 times in the past 7 months has caused more and more miners to enter the game. The total amount of electricity that the Bitcoin mining network uses is about 2% of the US, and 10% of Russia’s electricity. The numbers all point to Bitcoin’s environmental impact. However, this ugly truth seems to have been ignored by celebrities like Elon Musk in praising Bitcoin.

Farm operators say animal welfare is guaranteed when salmon are kept in shallow pools as they are swimming in artificial water. Photo: Smart Studio. In the row of indoor swimming pools there, 5 million adult salmon were swimming passionately away from their home town. pass cold water fish to a hot area This is a Atlantic salmon species, famous for cold water in Norwegian fjords or in cold water lakes in Scotland. They are not native to hot and warm Florida, so in order to cope with the completely different weather where they were born and the ideal environment to grow, the aquarium is cooled, housed in a large building. cold and of course very good insulation. The building is named the Green House, which has just come into operation in phase 1 since last year. When completed, it will be the largest salmon farm in the world. The investor is the Atlantic Sapphire Company, said the current output of the farm is 9,500 tons / year, and when the farm is operating at full designed capacity – it is expected that by 2031, the output will increase to 222,000 tons. If so, about 41% of the American’s salmon demand each year, or 1 serving serving, would be supplied domestically. Atlantic Sapphire is currently one of the pioneers of the trend of investing in terrestrial and indoor aquaculture. The company is headquartered in Norway. “When we came up with this idea 10 years ago, a lot of people were talking so crazy,” said Johan Andreassen – CEO of the company. “At that time, no one believed that bringing cold-water salmon to terrestrial farming could or was financially viable. The advancement of technology dispelled their doubts. Johan Andreassen introduces salmon farmed in Green House. Photo: Atlantic Sapphire. According to Andreassen, Atlantic Sapphire has proven successful in technology, now only dealing with financial viability and how scalable it can be effectively scaled. Salmon farming in shallow tanks – Pioneering technology New technologies equipped for the Green House to operate are not unfamiliar, but the investment rate to ensure profitability has only been achieved in recent years. The building is equipped with a recirculating aquaculture system called RAS, controlled from data on temperature, salinity, pH, oxygen level, flow, and light in the water. The tank also has an automatic mechanism that removes CO2 and waste and water into a filter for treatment and reuse. Raised in a closed process, salmon is immune to diseases and parasites found in the natural environment, so Atlantic Sapphire does not need antibiotics or other drugs. “Compared to marine farms, we guarantee fewer incidents of disease, the death rate is also among the lowest,” said Neder Snir, chief technician of AquaMaof in Israel. This is the company that provides technology for Atlantic Sapphire and about 10 other businesses around the world. “We ensure farmers do not need vaccines or antibiotics. This technology ensures disease isolation and control of the farming environment ”. Atlantic Sapphire has invested $ 400 million into their US facility in a total of $ 2 billion in funding plans. By 2031, they expect to own a 372,000 square meter aquarium on the 65-hectare project area. Why is it America? A Norwegian company that invests in large farms in Florida raises the question of purpose, especially when the culture is in doubt or does not guarantee the welfare of the chosen fish. According to the Atlantic Sapphire, they ensure a closer supply to the US market instead of bringing fish from Europe to by plane, in addition to taking advantage of the natural conditions endemic to the southern state. Florida sits atop two layers of water – one is the surface freshwater layer, the other is the lower saltwater aquifer. Trout need a freshwater environment in the early stages of growth, larger than they need salt water. In the Green House, the technology system ensures these two water sources. Here, wastewater is pumped into deep underground rock under the salty water layer separated from useful aquifers, so it does not pollute the area’s common water source (only at a very small rate compared to the government’s regulations. ). The salmon tank area at the Green House by technology of AquaMaof. Photo: AquaMaof. According to Andreassen, Atlantic Sapphire’s choices were even more valuable when the Covid-19 pandemic struck. The supply chain right in the US enables customers to traceability and create confidence in the end product without having to go through many stages of virus infection. Also, the transport stage is not congested when the cost of the road increases dramatically due to the impact of the epidemic. Atlantic Sapphire salmon has become familiar with American consumers. Last year, the brand “Green House Salmon was sold for 12 USD / kg, 2 times higher than imported Norwegian wild salmon. Would that worry salmon farmers and exporters in Nauuy and Scotland? Ragnar Tveteras – Professor of Commerce at Stavanger University (Norway) explains in a detour: “I think there is a challenge of using energy, about CO2 emissions, but I still do not have enough data. Demand (farmed fish) does not bother me too much, it is important that the price will probably go up ”. And Alan Tinch, technical head of the fishing services firm Benchmark Genetics in Scotland, predicts a change from Scottish farmers to adapt. “Maybe they will transfer the fry to an indoor farm, when healthy, they will be brought back to the natural marine environment. The wild fish still has its quality and location ”. The Green House project is not really smooth, even though it is advertised as a pioneer in technology. In July 2020, a water quality incident forced the company to harvest 200,000 salmon early before they were 20 months old. In March this year, fish also died abnormally and at the beginning of April there was a gas leak incident causing 3 workers to be hospitalized. Animal Rights Protection PETA criticizes the Green House project and about 40 other businesses developing terrestrial aquaculture farms, including a planned seabass farming project in Arizona. “Fish can feel, think, can know pain or joy, they belong to themselves, not people,” said Dawn Carr, Project Director of (food) vegetarian PETA said. “This fish farming is cruel.” But Director Johan Andreassen argues that the criteria for animal welfare, at the Green House, are fin shape and swimming speed, which is continuously and fully controlled by the company.

Workers install solar panels at floating power farm. (Image: Reuters) The Thai government is rushing to complete the construction of the floating solar farm in Ubon Ratchathani province, going one step further in promoting the use of clean energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuel source. The project started construction in November 2020, on the surface of the reservoir of the Sirindhorn hydroelectric dam in Ubon Ratchathani province, northeastern region of Thailand. Rated as one of the largest hydro-solar hybrid power generation projects in the world, this solar farm complex consists of seven solar clusters with 144,417 solar panels, built. on an area of ​​water surface up to 121 hectares. In an interview with Reuters news agency, Mr. Chanin Saleechan, Project Manager, said: “It is expected that by the end of April, we will complete the installation of the solar panels and will be ready to connect to the grid. the end of June, 2021 ”. According to the Electricity of Thailand (EGAT), the investment agency that implements the project, this solar farm, when completed, can reach a generating capacity of up to 45 megawatts. Mr. Chanin said that EGAT will adopt an Energy Management System to convert energy sources between solar and hydroelectricity, allowing the hybrid system to produce electricity continuously. He also affirmed that the combination of hydroelectricity and solar power will help reduce the cost of electricity generated. If the pilot project is successful, EGAT plans to continue implementing this model in other hydropower dams across the country over the next 16 years. “When all projects are completed in the hydropower dams, we will reach a total generating capacity of up to 2,725 megawatts,” said Chanin Saleechan. Previously, Thailand’s electricity source used to depend mainly on coal-fired thermal power plants, however, the construction of new thermal power plants is facing a lot of opposition due to health and environmental concerns. . Most recently, two coal-fired thermal power plant construction projects were canceled in 2018. According to the latest Energy Development Plan launched by the Thai government, the country aims to generate electricity from clean energy sources at least 35% of the country’s total electricity production by 2037.

Farm RussLynn Blueberries They have grown blueberries on their small farms since 1986 with an initial area of ​​just 10 acres. They worked hard and achieved success by having a group of loyal customers who return every year to pick blueberries on the farm. Farm RussLynn Blueberries. All of their fruit is Bluecrop, one of the sweetest and tastiest blueberry varieties in Canada. Unlike large commercial enterprises, RussLynn Blueberries decided to ignore the crop of early harvestable varieties such as Duke and Reka to focus on Bluecorp with higher quality and great taste. Blueberries are hand-harvested by the farm to avoid crushing caused by picking with automatic fruit pickers. Didar Berry Farm is located in Delta BC which was established in 2005 on the rich farmland of Burns Bog. Burns Bog’s Unique Ecological Wonders provides a soil rich in minerals and nutrients needed for the growth of delicious blueberries during the summer months. Didar Farm is owned and operated by a household by taking advantage of the fertile soil to ensure high quality and rich blueberries. In 1997, Parm and Satwinder founded it Westberry farm to diversify the vision and export the fruit to the world. Soon after, they included the packaged fruit in their product portfolio. The farm started production with a slow, labor-intensive process, even having to cover fruit trays with plastic bags by hand; has now evolved into a globally recognized standardization process. Their love of the land enabled them to foster a sustainable farm with a combination of disease management and crop protection. Farm Klaassen. Final, Klaassen farm 80 acres owned and dedicated by the household to grow delicious-tasting blueberries at an affordable price. Their goal is to grow and produce quality, natural blueberries by focusing on sustainable farming. The farm uses all natural and non-toxic products to provide its customers with nutritious, year-round fresh and frozen blueberries. By using a non-toxic spray and spraying only when absolutely necessary, the Klaassen farm blueberries are so safe that they can be eaten right away from the garden. All Klaassen blueberries are GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certified.

Although 2 farms have just been established for the past 10 years, there have been thousands of ornamental plants of all kinds with the age of each tree from a few decades to more than 100 years. In which, there are about 3,000 Tung trees including: Van Nien Tung, Tung Kim Cuong, Tung Taiwan… are very valuable. Particularly, at the ornamental farm in Long Trung commune, Cai Lay district, there is Van Nien Tung “old” with over 100 years old, worth about 5 billion. Due to the attractiveness of the “huge” ornamental farm, there are often many artisans and people coming to admire and shop. Old ornamental farm of Mr. Nguyen Dang Khoa in Tan Phuoc district, Tien Giang Ms. Nguyen Thi Bay, from Ho Chi Minh City, after visiting Mr. Nguyen Dang Khoa’s ornamental farm in Long Trung commune, Cai Lay district, was surprised by the attraction of this ornamental garden: “I The ornamental garden is too large, the ornamental trees are very big and lush. To have this garden, I think the owner has invested a great amount of money and effort. In general, I have not seen any unique ornamental garden like here “. Unique artifacts are collected by the owner to serve visitors Particularly, the ornamental tree farm in Tan Phuoc district, in addition to 1,000 Tung trees of all kinds, Mr. Nguyen Dang Khoa also collected and planted dozens of rare ancient ornamental trees up to hundreds of years old such as: Thi tree, Quao tree, Go Do tree, Loc Vung, Tram … At this farm, he also designed miniatures, exhibiting artifacts, invested in building many ancient and luxurious wooden stilt houses to serve visitors … Van Nien Tung has a lifespan of dozens of years Mr. Huynh Thanh Tuan, one of 30 skilled workers growing and caring for ornamental flowers here confided: “Tan Phuoc district has this ornamental garden which is a valuable perennial tree. Trees about a few hundred million; some beautiful larch trees cost a few billions. People from outside Dak Lak came to visit and buy ”. According to the fashion connoisseur, the two ornamental plant farms of Mr. Nguyen Dang Khoa are one of the largest and most valuable Tung ornamental gardens in the West. Mr. Khoa said that in order to have ornamental farms like today, nearly 10 years ago, he spent a lot of effort and money to collect, choose to buy from everywhere. Van Nien Tung tree with a circumference of more than 1 meter, worth 5 billion VND The profession is also very meticulous, according to Mr. Khoa, growing ornamental flowers requires beyond passion to have professional knowledge, especially mastering techniques of caring, pruning, relocating and “healing” for plants. … Although busy with his business, he always spends time on the ornamental farms and orientates the workers to take care of the garden. Ornamental plants “raw” when entering the garden are cared for, shaped, and shaped by him and his colleagues at will. In particular, he is very fond of planting Tung trees because of many advantages, especially easy to grow, less pests, adapt to salt drought and favored by domestic and foreign markets. A unique landscape mixed with ornamental plants “The Tung tree is a very powerful tree of vitality. Almost any climate can be lived. The second is about the water room. Since ancient times, when playing feng shui, there is Tung tree. This tree creates a very beautiful aesthetic from beautiful skin color, tree shape, leaf color. In general, thanks to the intense vitality of Tung tree, recently, I discovered that all ornamental trees and fruit trees in Cai Lay have been damaged by drought, but Tung is the least affected. I think the Tung tree is an economic tree ”, shared Mr. Nguyen Dang Khoa. Many chalets were built in the ornamental tree camps to form a unique complex Spring comes, Tet comes, the two old ornamental farms of Mr. Nguyen Dang Khoa are very lush, attracting visitors and enjoying them. Everyone who comes here will admire the garden with immense ornamental plants invested, carefully cared for, as well as the talents of the artisans, the owners who “blew the soul” into the trees, bringing joy and enjoyment. entertainment for life. Mr. Nguyen Dang Khoa said that these ornamental plant farms are continuing to invest, aiming to bring products to export and serve visitors./.

Beluga sturgeon – a monument to the cold water fisheries There are many types of sturgeon and the world today records about 21 known species, of which the Beluga is the most special one. If sturgeon is a symbol of the cold-water fish industry, Beluga is honored as a monument by its high class, super rare and enormous size. The Beluga is the oldest fish from the dinosaur era (with an estimated 200 million years old) and is one of the oldest extant genus of fish. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has classified Beluga sturgeon conservation status as critically endangered and is on the list in need of strong protection under the Bern Convention. Beluga – “sea monster” fresh water has a long lifespan of up to 150 years. Beluga sturgeon has an average weight of males from 1,100 to 1,600 kg, and females from 700 to 1,200 kg. The largest Beluga ever recorded was 6 m long and weighed 3,200 kg (Berg 1948, Birstein 1993, Freedman 1999). The number of people who have the opportunity to enjoy the Beluga sturgeon in Vietnam is only counted on their fingers because there has never been any place in Vietnam that can raise this fish. In addition to its super giant shape, rareness in the conservation state, Beluga sturgeon is also considered a million dollar fish because of its outstanding nutritional value. Beluga sturgeon is delicious, firm but not hard, soft, but not friable and highly nutritious with many vitamins and minerals that are very good for health, brain and beauty, especially the bigger the fish, the better it will be. the more fresh and delicious the meat. However, nowadays, the number of people who have the opportunity to enjoy this super fish meat in Vietnam is only counted on their fingers because up to now, there is no place in Vietnam that can raise Beluga. In particular, Beluga sturgeon eggs have a very high economic value, up to 10,000 USD / kg, in the top 10 most luxurious dishes on the planet. On average, a large female sturgeon can produce up to 30 kg of eggs, during the breeding season it can reach up to 230,000 to 1 million eggs depending on body size. However, only a few will survive to become an adult sturgeon. Therefore, they are very urgently hunted, leading to the danger of extinction. Revealing the owner of million dollar fish Close-up of Beluga sturgeon at a fish farm in Son La. Beluga is a fish that can only survive in natural conditions in temperate lands. Especially, this fish can only live in a clean environment with circulating water and relatively deep water levels. In polluted environments, Beluga will always suffer from chronic stress resulting in extremely small survival (estimated at 0.1%). Since it is not possible to keep Beluga in a cement or composite tank system, breeding this fish is currently facing many challenges even around the world. Therefore, the discovery of Beluga fish at a fish farm in Son La made many people surprised and excited. Through research, it is known that this business is not the only unit in Vietnam that owns Beluga, but now their total herd of super fish has reached 40,000, with a weight ranging from 15-30 kg. , especially fish weighing up to 80 kg and are present on 5 farms across the country. Public opinion was surprised by the information that a domestic company owns a total of 40,000 Beluga fish. This has a very important significance in preserving the ancient fish on the edge of extinction in the world, identifying Vietnam on the cold water fish agricultural map but also opening up great economic potential of this industry. The breeding and farming of the world’s super-rare fish completely “Made in Vietnam” has great significance, especially in the context that the Vietnamese sturgeon background is at risk of “breaking the game” by the attack of Chinese sturgeon. . Many people search for information about the fish farm for a chance to enjoy the million dollar fish. After the image of Beluga appeared on social media, many people searched for information about the fish farms of this business, wishing to have a chance to enjoy the million dollar fish. However, because it is difficult to propagate and nurture in Vietnam, this enterprise has not yet widely distributed to the market.

Staff installing a 5G base station in Korea. Photo: Koreabizwire According to the ministry above, carriers include SK Telecom Co., KT Corp. and LG Uplus Corp. signed an agreement so that 5G users could access the high-speed network of any other service provider they registered in 131 remote locations across South Korea. Accordingly, 5G users will be able to use another carrier’s network in places where their service provider does not have coverage. The Ministry of Science and ICT said telecom carriers will test network sharing systems before the end of the year and aim to fully phased in by 2024. Remote areas selected to provide 5G network sharing are sparsely populated, with a population density of 92 people / km2, while areas that do not share 5G networks have a population density of 3,490. person / km2. The move to share 5G networks comes as South Korea is racing to establish 5G coverage nationwide, with network equipment currently installed in major cities. In July 2020, the three major South Korean carriers pledged to invest up to 25,700 billion won (23.02 billion USD) to upgrade the network infrastructure by 2020. As of February 2021, South Korea has 13.66 million 5G subscribers, accounting for about 19% of the country’s total mobile network subscribers. South Korea was the first country in the world to commercialize 5G networks in April 2019.

That is because the farmer owns a grafted mango tree to create 300 different types of mango per tree.

Mr. Kalimullah Khan has been passionate about grafting mangoes on the same tree since he was 17 years old.

The man with a skillful hand is called Kalimullah Khan, 80 years old, also nicknamed “the mango man”.

The mango varieties he grafted onto trees were brought from a nearby village or from other locations across India.

Currently, India is the largest mango producer in the world with 40% of global production and the country has up to 1000 different varieties of mango.

The special thing is that Kalimullah Khan has not finished high school and has cultivated on the agricultural land left by his grandfather with the support of his son.

Mango tree with 300 different fruits impresses many people when coming here.

At the age of 15, Mr. Khan was delighted to see hybrid roses planted in a friend’s garden.

On a persimmon tree there are flowers of different colors that motivates him to think of a unique mango tree with many fruits. At the age of 17, Mr. Khan grafted 7 different types of mango on the same tree. Unfortunately, flash floods caused this tree to be damaged, but this old man still retains his passion.

Today, he personally creates many different varieties of mango and is known by everyone.

In 1987, Kalimullah Khan started grafting different types of mango onto a 100-year-old mango tree. In addition to grafting, he also created new varieties of mango and named after famous people in the fields …

Currently, he has a farm located in a belt specializing in growing mango up to 10,000 hectares of India. During the harvest season, he and his son pick mangoes and put them in barrels for sale, export or give them free of charge to visitors.

Many famous people visited Mr. Khan’s farm. This old man also won many awards including Padma Shri – the noble award in India.

He also went to Dubai and Iran to teach grafting, in 1999 he created 54 different varieties of mango trees for Mughal gardens in the presidential mansion of India.

The Japanese honey apple (also known as the sun apple) is one of the most expensive apple varieties in the world. In Vietnam, Japanese honey apples are sold for up to 1.5 – 2 million VND / kg.

In the country of the rising sun, honey apples are grown entirely according to organic technology, meticulously from care to collection.

Japanese honey apples are grown mainly in the Aomori region, which is considered the capital of delicious apples.

Winter is the time when growers clean the trunk of the apple tree, cutting dry branches for the best growth.

Spring comes, when the apples begin to bloom, it is time for growers to add nutrients to the plants. The grower will carefully remove the flower clusters on the branches so as not to disturb the rest of the flower.

For the most effective natural pollination, they even kept bees in the apple orchard.

In the summer, apples start to bear fruit. Each branch usually has 5-6 apples.

At this point, the grower continues the pruning, leaving only one fruit on the branch. This helps the tree concentrate nutrients, the apple will be sweeter.

Next fall, the whole orchard of red and ripe apples looks good.

They test each apple on the tree for appearance standards and then harvest.

The soil analysis, pesticide residue analysis, radioactivity … are done carefully to ensure the quality of the apple honey wall. Photo courtesy of: Noal Farm, Aomori Apple

Maotan Factory is affiliated to Jin’an District, Lu’an City, Anhui Province, and is located at the junction of Shucheng, Huoshan and Jin’an counties. This is an extremely rare and well-preserved ancient Anhui architectural complex in the Jianghuai area. Fortunately, this all-ancient Huizhou ancient architectural complex has been well preserved so far, and it has become more and more unique with the passage of time. Although it has experienced wars, social turmoil, and the erosion of wind and rain, the street is still intact, without losing the ancient charm of the old street.

Speaking of the history of Lao Cai, people will naturally think of the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Indeed, the initial formation of Lao Cai began in the Ming Dynasty, but this land has a glorious history. In ancient times, this was the place of enfeoffment of Gaotao, the originator of justice, which opened the origin of ancient civilization. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Maotanchang Town was once the fief of countless nobles in the ancient six countries. The pass fishing in Lidi, the names and stories of places such as Ganyuling and Gudiaotai are still talked about by future generations; celebrities such as Sun Bin and Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period have all left their footprints near Maotan Factory; the end of Qin Dynasty In the early Han Dynasty, the capital of Jiujiang Wangyingbu was established in the sixth period; from the Jin Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, the ancient town has gradually taken shape; to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the rebels rose, the rags were everywhere, the lives were wiped out, the fertile land was abandoned, and it became a sparsely populated and thatched “thatched beach”.

In the 1980s, a group of Wangchong villagers in Bajiaotang Village, Maotanchang Town, excavated a tomb of Zhou. The unearthed bronze ware was identified as a marquis ritual object by experts and is now in the Anhui Provincial Museum. This shows that during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Maotanchang area was already a thriving place deep in the mountains.

Zhu Yuanzhang won the world from the horseback uprising and established the Ming Dynasty. After taking office, he had a deep attachment to horses, paid high attention to horse raising, and actively promoted “horse governance”. He believes that the number of horses is an important indicator of whether a country is prosperous and strong, so he vigorously advocated raising horses in the “land with abundant water and grass” across the country. Zhu Yuanzhang’s hometown is in Anhui, and he attaches great importance to the horse breeding industry here. According to historical records, “the Ming Dynasty has 14 prisons for horse breeding in the Mainland, of which there are five prisons and 33 groups in Anhui.” The “Maotanchang” was luxuriant with water and grass, and the people who fled due to the war were also unable to leave their homeland. They returned one after another to feed military horses for the court to replace taxes and food. Soon this area gradually prospered due to horse breeding. This is the development history of Maotan Factory.

The old street is a 3 Huali old street with a complete set of ancient Huizhou buildings preserved along the street. On the streets paved with bluestone strips and cobblestones, the old wooden wheelbarrows and carriages have left deep ruts. Since the Ming Dynasty, the commerce here has been very developed. Various local products, tea, department stores and even foreign goods are traded here, forming an unprecedented trade market and also promoting the development of Lao Cai. Coming here makes people feel like they are in the time and space of Ming and Qing Dynasties, with people coming and going, shops, merchants going north and south, pedestrians passing by, a lively and noisy scene. The purpose of coming to Lao Cai is to experience this kind of feeling, and to understand the true meaning of life from the calm, peaceful and quiet life of the people in Lao Cai.

to step by step formulate many effective economic models, centralized agricultural production areas in the direction of goods, value chains linking people with enterprises.

Mr. Dang Ngoc Hoa’s family (San Que Dong village, Dong Ngu commune, Tien Yen district) changed inefficient rice area to growing fruit trees.

Mr. Dang Ngoc Hoa (San Que Dong village, Dong Ngu commune), is one of the people actively participating in the transformation of crop structure for economic development in the area. Previously, his family mainly cultivated over 5 sao of paddy field with rice and vegetable varieties, but the yield and yield were quite low, due to inadequate irrigation water. 4 years ago, having been facilitated by the commune to participate in training course on fruit growing, with knowledge and techniques learned, Mr. Hoa started to convert old rice and vegetable acreage to fruit tree cultivation. like: Na, orange …

Up to now, his family has more than 70 kernels and 40 oranges for harvesting. Mr. Hoa shared: By converting the cultivars suitable to soil, climate, so the plants grow and develop well, with high and stable fruit yields. Subtracting costs, each year my family has a revenue of hundreds of million dong, much higher than growing rice. From this background, my family continued to plant 50 more super-fruit jackfruit stumps, expected to be harvested in about 2 years …

Similarly, Mr. Nguyen Viet Phuong’s family (Tien Lang commune), is also one of the typical households, taking the lead in changing the structure of livestock in the commune.
