Calls are growing to invest more in Africa's traditional grains as a way to break its reliance on imported wheat, rice and maize.F

Space is a new frontier for agricultural innovation to feed human populations. BioHarvest has achieved  this with red grapes, olives, and pomegranates. BioHarvest technology enables economical production of commercial biomass of unique plant-based metabolites (such as polyphenols, antioxidants, cannabinoids, terpenes, psychoactive molecules, proteins and more) without the need to grow the plant itself. As an example, with grapes, this  production in the industrial scale proprietary bioreactors rather than on land creates  some 95% less physical space  needed in traditional farming. Using one seven-foot bioreactor can  produce what would require 240,000 square meters of land annually. Photo: BioHarvest

President Biden is requesting $500 million for the farm  industry in  order to encourage U.S. wheat farmers to double crop their fields due to global grain price surges . USDA  estimates it will help U.S. farmers replenish  up to 50% of the wheat typically exported  from Ukraine onto the global market. This will also  lower food costs for American consumers. The request includes about $100 million to pay for a $10 per acre incentive to farmers . This payment   through crop insurance premiums  will be  for a soybean crop planted after a winter wheat crop in 2023. Photo April Chepovskygold
