One of the Goals Behind UPGS is building DATA DRIVEN SMART FARMS under the avenue of precision farming -Data streams from smart farms give us the ability to monitor and manage plant behaviours. These behaviours such as flowering times monitored annually give us the ability to make predictions and manipulate conditions (addition of phosphorus minerals that benefit flowering periods). -We Operate under the mindset “you can not manage, what you do not measure” -This level of management gives a whole new window into transparency in agriculture. -Shareholders and potential investors at every point in value chain management are given visual, numerical and analytical data to monitor their investments. #UPGS #smartfarm #datadriven #precisionagriculture #precisionfarming #goddid #cashew #cashew #treefarm

Our CEO was one of the specially invited guest for the inauguration of the Julius Berger processing plant in EPE , Lagos, Nigeria, 10 mins away from our Cashew Plantation & Farming operational Headquarters. The excitement at knowing our production/procurement is part of these large operations is exhilarating !

ANTS and agriculture… The Biological Engineers of Soil! Ants are recognized as one of the major sources of soil disturbance world-wide. However, this view is largely based on isolated studies and qualitative reviews. In studies Ant nests showed “higher nutrient and cation content than adjacent non-nest soil samples, but similar pH. Nutrient content was higher in ant refuse materials than in nest soils.” Analysis revealed “the major role of ant nests in influencing soil fertility and vegetation patterns and provide information about the factors that mediate these effects.” -First, ant nests improve soil fertility mainly through the accumulation of refuse materials. Thus, different refuse dump locations (external or in underground nest chambers) could benefit different vegetation life-forms. -Second, ant nests increase plant diversity at larger spatial scales only if the identity of favoured plants changes along environmental gradients (i.e. enhancing diversity). -Third, ant species that feed on plants play a relevant role fertilizing soils, which may balance their known influence as primary consumers. -Fourth, the effects of ant nests as fertility islands are larger in arid lands, possibly because fertility is intrinsically lower in these habitats. Analysis revealed novel and quantitative evidence confirming that ant nests are key soil modifiers, emphasizing their role as ecological engineers. #UPGS #soil #soilofafrica #SoA #ecology #biology #soilbiology #agriculture #agricultura #farm #farming #ants #hymenoptera #formicidae #antnest #bulletant
