MyEasyFarm Driver, the new mobile application

The MyEasyFarm Driver mobile application, designed for drivers, allows the platform to be used without necessarily having a console in the tractor.

>> MyEasyFarm also fits in your pocket!
The MyEasyFarm Driver mobile application, designed for drivers, allows the platform to be used without necessarily having a console in the tractor.
Now thanks to the MyEasyFarm Drivermobile application, your phone can automatically record your interventions. And it can help you manage the following points:

>> Automatic job registration
MyEasyFarm automatically detects your entry and exit in a plot. Thus the application can start or end a task by itself. This allows you to determine the time spent in each plot. Then you can document these tasks with other information such as the input used and the quantities applied.

>> Telemetry
Indicate the hardware used and geolocate it on the MyEasyFarm platform by activating geolocation on the mobile application. This way, the positioning of your machines is sent directly to the platform and you can follow your machines from your office.

>> Task views
This mobile application allows drivers to organize their day by visualizing all the tasks they have to perform and the information needed for each intervention (location of the plot, equipment, employee, input and input quantities...).

>> Easy modulation without a console
Display your recommendation maps and geolocation on your phone to vary the rate applied manually to each location in the plot.

The largest mammals have always been at the greatest risk of extinction – this is still the case today

Looking at the average size of mammals over the last 1.5 million years, we see a clear trend: they’ve gotten much smaller, with their mean mass decreasing by more than 98%. Very large mammal species, such as “straight-tusked elephants” and the Southern Mammoth, disappeared one by one.

Why has this happened?

The evidence points toward one main culprit: humans. Our small but big-brained hominid ancestors hunted the largest mammal species to extinction.

In this article we look at the history of this “downsizing” of mammals, and discuss how the biggest mammals are still at the greatest risk of extinction today — but it doesn’t have to be this way.



What share of people say they are vegetarian, vegan, or flexitarian?

There is a growing interest in the environmental, ethical, and health impacts of our diets. Is this translating to changes in dietary preferences?

In this article we look at recent data from YouGov, the polling group in the UK, which surveys around 2,000 adults every six months about their dietary preferences.

Most people reported that they eat at least some meat; 5% described themselves as vegetarian; 3% as pescetarian, and 2% as vegan. A larger share—16%—described themselves as “flexitarian,” meaning they are mostly vegetarian but occasionally eat meat or fish.

Young people were much more likely to report eating no or very little meat.

We will update this data every six months with the most recent survey results.
