The Uman National University of Horticulture is one of our key collaborators in Ukraine . We have collaborated with them since 2016 , and they use our mobile practical app Petiole Pro for works phenotyping on a permanent base , writes Maryna Kuzmenko , chief operating officer of Petiole , onLinkedInin a sum-up of an event that charter place on 15 June , organized byAgfunder .
you’re able to find a nexus to the recordinghere .
Currently , the commandment staff is demand to have recreational farewell till the end of the summer and the future tense of the follow bailiwick class is unclear . We are still in skin senses with some of the professors . Many already have fiscal difficulties affirm their families in the circumstances of growing prices for requirement in Ukraine . We work with Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University . Notably , we have solid connectedness with the BioChemical Department of this University . We have a few research papers , and our wandering program , Petiole Pro , helped them get data point on their crops .
Now one-half of their time they spend facilitate with the needs of the territorial defense units and Ukrainian Army since some of the staff , students , and Ph.D. researchers left their study and jobs to fight down Ukraine . They also do n’t do any experimentation and trials but still attempt to release the results of experimentation from the previous ones . It has to be say that the Agriculture Universities have been lose even before the war . But now , it is even more complicated since all money goes to the military , and we utterly must support this . But this also mean that in the field of biology , the knowledge of rare works and those on the edge of extinction will vanish . Also , the agronomy expertness for this specific geographical region will be importantly lost , which means a loss of knowledge in the climate change operation as well .
And what about overall fragilities on a local and globular level , which have appear after the war in Ukraine ? On a micro level , one of the big issues is the low-spirited acceptation of agricultural engineering , which may aid optimise food production . We work on with the Agriculture Universities and enquiry in Ukraine to grow a new generation of sodbuster and flora scientist who are ready to transform the way we work with plant . For example , the global community of plant researchers is actively using innovative method acting for controlling Nitrogen levels in plant through veritable mensuration of chlorophyll content .
It is potential to do this with a smartphone , and that ’s why we believe it is so of import to bring this cognition to the academe and manufacture in Ukraine . On a macro grade , the position we have now unveiled the problems in the existing globose food for thought supplying Ernst Boris Chain organisation . Specifically , commodities like food grain , clavus , and helianthus seeds are moving around without transparency and tractableness .
This intellectual nourishment crisis also shows a paradox that the country , which is one of the magnanimous producer and exporters of critically important grain and vegetable oils , is poor , and money from all the trade break to several layer of companies that sell and resell our food grain , corn and sunflower seeds . One of the ways we can solve this problem is a solution built on blockchain for good trading . It may help with the decentalisation and the find of monopolism and other negative face of global trade wind on each whole step and in number . Blockchain can help us understand who made the most profits in the supplying chain . As of now , we can only guess .
