The FDA’s FSMA regulations and the rise of conscious consumers.
Over the past decade, consumers have become more conscious about what they eat. Sustainability, ethical sourcing, and food safety are no longer optional—they are demands. Major grocery chains have started blacklisting suppliers who can’t prove their supply chain integrity. At the same time, the FDA’s new FSMA 204 regulations have made full traceability mandatory, not just a nice-to-have.
For me, this shift was both a challenge and an opportunity. If Farm to Plate could provide an easy, affordable solution for food businesses to comply with these laws and meet consumer expectations, it could be a game-changer. But the road to adoption wasn’t going to be easy...
I will share what's the biggest challenge in achieving this in my next post.

My mission to revolutionize the food supply chain.
Every great startup begins with a problem so frustrating that someone just has to fix it. For me, that problem was the lack of transparency in the food supply chain. Why can’t consumers know exactly where their food comes from? Why are farmers disconnected from the final buyers? Why is food fraud still a $40 billion problem?
After decades of experience in tech and blockchain innovation, I saw an opportunity to fix this mess. Thus, Farm to Plate was born—a blockchain-powered solution for complete food traceability. But solving this issue wasn’t just about tech; it required an entire mindset shift in the industry.

I am keen to learn about your Startup story.
It seems like low-cost precision agriculture should be a space that is booming, and in some markets like India Plantix is doing huge numbers. Why has this trend not caught on elsewhere? I see an app like MagicScout and I am left puzzled as to why this has not seen widespread adoption by farmers and agronomists. Can anyone give me any insights on this?
I have completed a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and am in the final year of my Bachelor of Technology in Agriculture. I am seeking an internship position and have previous experience in agricultural data analysis and as an agricultural technician during a summer role.
Based in Canada, I am looking for an online internship where I can apply my skills in GIS, soil and plant nutrition analysis, Power BI, Excel, QGIS, Python, SQL, and data ETL processes.

I believe Herbicides and Cotton are in the maturity stage because even with new products, they’re unlikely to attract new customers. On the other hand, Corn and Soybean Seeds, Fungicides, Insecticides, and Digital Agriculture seem poised for growth in the future. Does this reasoning make sense, or am I missing something?
I think that Herbicides is/will be at maturity stage. What do you think? Where am I wrong? Please educate me.
I can't find much. How do you guys stay updated on the topic? Even other subreddits or websites that are kind of loosely related, if they're good.
Partial root zone drying (PRD) is an irrigation technique that can improve water efficiency for growing grapes while maintaining crop yields. The technique involves alternating which half of the root system is irrigated, with the other half kept dry.
Fixed PRD The same half of the root system is irrigated throughout the growing season, while the other half is exposed to drying soil.
Alternate PRD The wetted and dried sides of the root system are alternated on a regular basis, such as every 10–14 days. The frequency of switching depends on the soil, rainfall, and temperature.
PRD works by causing the drying roots to produce chemical signals that are transported to the leaves, which reduces transpiration. This can lead to:
Improved water use efficiency of up to 50%
Positive effects on fruit and wine quality.
Lower yields, which can result in better grapes.
The PRD technique was originally developed by British scientists from Lancaster University and viticulturists from the University of Adelaide.
Now to automate this process is simple just add 1No Ladybird for Fixed PRD or 2No Ladybirds for Alternate PRD for the vines planted in a row and then control 2No irrigation feeds to either side of the rootstocks.
