Interesting new trends in agriculture include planning “green” cities and urban farming. Let us take a look at a tool which could make such projects easier. FarmBot is a proposal for backyard garden enthusiasts, who have not been managing to find the time to cultivate their little plots of land, but have now found a helper.

Let us take a look at research done by Mark Johnson from the University of British Columbia. Johnson and his team focused on the impact of city farming on urban water reserves. The results of this study have provided important arguments in the debate about urban farming, a trend which has been gaining popularity.

Food security has often been discussed by representatives of chemical companies, including those of Grupa Azoty. Let us consider a number of activities which would surely make a positive impact on the current situation.

Urban farming stands for a very creative kind of crops which make it possible to increase access to natural food. They also provide an opportunity for building closer relations and tightening the bond between the members of the community.

Building efficient food systems may facilitate fertilization process substantially, as well as foster the transfer of knowledge and know-how between farmers in the world. National authorities need to strive towards more efficient use of natural resources, so as to boost food production efficiency.

Grupa Azoty PUŁAWY signed another 3-year contract concerning sea shipping of RSM cargo by Unibaltic Sp. z o.o. on March 31st, 2015. The agreement constitutes a continuation of the deals which have been signed over the past years.

The leading theme of POWERPOL, the Polish National Energy and Heating Congress, was “2015: Perspectives of development in the Polish energy sector”. The participants discussed the potential of growth of the Polish energy sector in the next few years’ time.

The announcement of 2014 financial results of Grupa Azoty and particular companies in the Group was held on March 16th, 2015.

The importance of organic versus conventional farming is becoming a hot topic. The latter kind of activity, conducted on an industrial scale, is more costly due to vast acreage of plantations and the need to apply specialist agrotechnical solutions.

Grupa Azoty PUŁAWY and three research institutions have launched a new project whose goal is to examine the impact of field fertilization on climate change. To this end, the special purpose consortium coordinated by the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation – State Research Institute has obtained financing from the National Center for Research and Development.
