Uruguay is a member of the Cairns Group of exporters of agricultural products. Uruguay's agriculture has relatively low inputs of labour, technology and capital in comparison with other such countries, which results in comparatively lower yields per hectare but also opens the door for Uruguay to market its products as "natural" or "ecological ...
The main sources of carbon emissions in Uruguay are food production and transport. [16] [17] When compared to the rest of the world, Uruguay only contributes 0.05% of the total global emissions. [18] In 2017, Uruguay identified 106 methods of reducing emissions as part of their Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Climate Agreement.
Crop tolerance to seawater is the ability of an agricultural crop to withstand the high salinity induced by irrigation with seawater, or a mixture of fresh water and seawater. There are crops that can grow on seawater and demonstration farms have shown the feasibility. [1] The government of the Netherlands reports a breakthrough in food ...

Sclerocarya birrea (Ancient Greek: σκληρός sklērós , meaning "hard", and κάρυον káryon , "nut", in reference to the stone inside the fleshy fruit), commonly known as the marula, is a medium-sized deciduous fruit-bearing tree ...
Intermediate moisture foods (IMF) are shelf-stable products that have water activities of 0.6-0.85, with a moisture content ranging from 15% - 40% and are edible without rehydration. [ 1 ] These food products are below the minimum water activity for most bacteria (0.90), but are susceptible to yeast and mold growth.
For instance, if the local growing season is 5 months long, and the farmers' main crops take 3 or 4 months to grow, an extra month may be enough time to grow a secondary crop. During times of drought, what rain does fall can be collected in the pits and used to secure the farmers' main crops.
Controlled-environment agriculture. Controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) -- which includes indoor agriculture (IA) and vertical farming —is a technology-based approach toward food production. The aim of CEA is to provide protection from the outdoor elements and maintain optimal growing conditions throughout the development of the crop.
