RootWave

RootWave CEO, Andy Diprose, highlights new technology which uses electricity instead of chemical herbicides to kill weeds in a sustainable way.

RootWave社の除草機械は、電気を利用して根っこから上の雑草を除去することで、除草剤や他の雑草防除用化学薬品を使うことなく農場の除草が可能。 除草剤業界は、300億ドル規模と言われていて除草剤に抵抗性のある雑草や、規制や訴訟の増加により、多くの課題を抱えています。 同社は、RootWave Proを提供し、より持続可能な農業、よりクリーンな環境、より健康的な食物生産に貢献しています。 ★RootWave http://rootwave.com/ ★Youtube紹介動画 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow25sNK5ZF4 ★TECHABLEの記事 https://techable.jp/archives/81751 ★最先端農業マガジンの記事 https://smartagri.jp/p/768/ ★だいじろうのTwitter（ご意見お待ちしてます！） https://twitter.com/daijirostartup #海外　#スタートアップ　#除草 #環境問題 #除草剤 #電気 #庭 #イギリス --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daijirostartup/message

durée : 00:02:29 - Le billet sciences - Durant tout l’été, Gérard Feldzer accueille Bertrand Piccard pour échanger sur quelques-unes des 1 000 solutions économiquement viables et écologiquement responsables labellisées par la fondation Solar Impulse. Aujourd’hui : une solution pour une agriculture propre.

For Earth Day we have a special Living 4D conversation in store for you – as Dave Murphy (today’s guest) puts it, it’s “a global call to unite for all who care about Mother Earth”. Dave is the founder and executive director of Food Democracy Now!, an organization dedicated to protect family farming and the safety of our planet’s food supply.Today’s conversation ranges over food policy and factory farming, but in particular it focuses on the chemical glyphosate – one of the primary ingredients in the herbicide Roundup.Beyond the podcast, if you’d like to learn more about the damage herbicides like glyphosate do to our food supply, read the free report: Glyphosate: Unsafe on Any Plate.Concerned about your long-term exposure to pesticides and glyphosate?

(10:55)Seventy-five percent of America’s food supply — if you’re eating processed foods — is genetically engineered. (12:10)Farmers in India committed suicide in record numbers due to Monsanto convincing them to convert to genetically modified crops. (18:29)Dave’s father predicted an epidemic of cancer in rural America due to the unprotected use of pesticides a long time ago. (25:49)Could Bayer, Monsanto’s new parent company, be worse?

Lotte Peplow joins us from the Brewing Association and Andrew Diprose talks us through RootWave It's party season...as offices start spilling merrily (in more than once sense of the word) into the pubs and clubs, it also marks the point where there's no turning back on the dieting front. You won't be this skinny again until at least the end of January when that ‘new year, new me' regime starts to take shape.  We fully endorse the idea of listening to this podcast with a large glass, tab or bag of something rather yummy. Neither Sue, Ollie nor Holly need to be told twice. To be fair, our first featured product is something that you definitely cannot consume. It's actually an amazing bit of kit, and a perfect wildcard to kick off this week's FoodTalk podcast. Andrew Diprose is the CEO of the fantastic RootWave. It's the leading solution to organically kill weeds without using chemicals; obviously a fantastic tool for farmers and gardeners alike. We could tell you more techy stuff, but you can check out their video to get a proper feel for it all. Our second guest brings us something that is very easy to drink down…beer. We've met lots of UK beer companies in the past, but this time we're learning about the state of beer from over the pond. Lotte Peplow came to us to explain the role of the Brewers Association in the USA and how they help small and independent craft brewers at a time where the beer boom shows no sign of slowing. Bottoms up!

There is growing evidence that the use of chemicals in agriculture is harmful to both the environment and human health. Maija Palmer discusses potential alternatives with Helen Browning, chief executive of the Soil Association, Adam Speed of the Crop Protection Association and Andrew Diprose, chief exec of Rootwave, a startup that uses electricity to kill weedsRead more on the future of food and agriculture hereContributors: Katie Martin, capital markets editor, Maija Palmer, acting deputy editor of Special Reports, Helen Browning, chief executive of the Soil Association, Adam Speed of the Crop Protection Association and Andrew Diprose, chief exec of Rootwave.

We have been searching for alternatives to agricultural chemicals for decades. Finally, we have a solution that is scalable and sustainable. Andrew Diprose from Rootwave joins me today to discuss their pioneering technology: using electricity to zap weeds. We talk about how the technology works, its current application and what the future looks like; including […]

Andrew Diprose is the CEO at Rootwave, a UK tech startup that aims to provide a sustainable and efficient solution to weed problems by zapping them from the root up. The goal is to reduce weeds without using chemicals which could help solve soil contamination issues. His role is to lead the product and technology department, making sure the technology is safe and effective when it is commercially available in 2020.    Andrew joins me today to discuss Rootwave, what inspired him to start this type of technology, and how it works. He explains the need for clean methods of killing weeds relative to soil health and describes some of the ways this technology is superior to the conventional means of removing weeds in farms. He also shares his prediction of what agriculture will look like in the future.     “Electricides will be a benefit to society. It will better the environment and the health of individuals.” - Andrew Diprose       This Week on The Future of Agriculture Podcast:   What are electricides and how does it work in agriculture? Why Andrew believes electricides are the best alternative to herbicides. What inspired him to come up with the idea of inventing electricides. What makes electricides different from using fire and other thermal methods? How electricides are energy efficient and where the energy comes from. Why electricides won’t adversely affect general soil health. The type of plants they aim to use the technology initially. The current stage the technology is currently in and when it is expected to become available commercially. How Andrew envisions agriculture looking differently in the future.     Key Takeaways:   With soil contamination being rampant all over the world, the need for a localized yet efficient and sustainable herbicide is critical. Electricides protect crops from unwanted vegetation without collateral damage.     Resources Mentioned: FoA118 Autonomous Swarm-Enabled Tractors with Zack James of Rabbit Tractors     Connect with Andrew Diprose:   Rootwave   We Are a Part of a Bigger Family!    The Future of Agriculture Podcast is now part of the Farm and Rural Ag Network.
