This year, the association introduced a low-cost sanitary pad made entirely from the fluffy, highly absorbent cellulose of jute plants. Officials said they have begun talks with the Indian arm of Johnson & Johnson to bring the pad to the mass market.

Many farmers have switched to crops that yield greater returns, such as rice. Jute remains among the most labor-intensive products in the modern world, starting with the backbreaking summer harvest.

Edwin Hoenderdos, CEO and principal consultant for horticulture automation and logistics company Hove International Inc., notes, “[the] significant gain in fixed benches is the ergonomically friendly work environment. It also allows improved airflow beneath plants, and greater precision and efficiency in irrigation.”

Rolling tables are fixed tables with roll bars added. The supports are stationary, but tables roll side to side. Because tops roll to create aisles, just one aisle allowance – a standard of 16 inches to 18 inches – is needed per bay. The flexible design doesn’t mean a large jump in price, though. “The cost difference between stationary and rolling is minimal,” Ilovitz says.

What drives her is a love for the plant and a passion for helping people. “Cannabis has taught me patience; it’s taught me so much. I have so much gratitude toward the plant for that,” she says. “It’s helped not just me, but my family. I’ve lost a lot of family members to cancer, and it’s been heart-wrenching. It’s medicine. It really is. I’ve seen it firsthand.”

Beach walkways and the parking area are used predominately in summer season and are open from dusk to dawn.

As the name suggests, stationary tables do not move. Benches are fixed to the ground, with fixed aisles on each side. Bill Bissell, senior process design specialist for horticulture automation company AgriNomix, says benches place plants at an appropriate ergonomic level. Designs can accommodate employee and plant height. “Thirty-inch height is pretty standard. In areas working with young plants at hand level, it might be 36 inches,” Bissell says.

The finished treated water then goes to one of two holding tanks that function “as a safety net, to make sure the water’s been treated and tested,” Williams said.

It is a priority for CBC to create a website that is accessible to all Canadians including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Hercules turned its focus to the development of fibers for the fast-growing non-wovens market. As the carpet and upholstery businesses changed, Hercules fibers found their way into baby diapers, feminine care products, geotextiles, tea bags, filters, and wipes.

Without an in-floor system, just getting your crop off the floor and onto benches offers benefits in labor and plant health. Zev Ilovitz, president of greenhouse technology supplier EnviroTech Cultivation Solutions, says industry terminology is not standardized, so exploring options can be confusing at first. It’s important to understand that the “containers” in these bench systems are the pallet-like tables that hold your growing pots. There are three primary options: stationary/fixed tables, roll-top/rolling tables, and mobile container systems.
