The use of oxygen nanobubbles in irrigation water opens up new opportunities for agriculture, offering significant benefits in terms of both increasing yields and improving the sustainability of farming. This innovative technology not only improves plant health and nutrient uptake, but can also lead to record yields and cost savings.
The completed NABLE - Enhancing Agricultural Production with Nanobubbles project aimed to increase the productivity, efficiency and sustainability of primary agricultural production by injecting nano-sized oxygen gas bubbles into irrigation water. The completed video gives a comprehensive presentation of the different phases of the project and the impact of nanobubble technology from the perspective of the different partners.

Far-UV light has been shown to be effective in the fight against pathogens. Several studies showed that the use of Far-UV light can significantly reduce the number of microbes in a short exposure time.
Legionella bacteria are found in small quantities in fresh natural waters and soil. Small amounts of legionella bacteria can enter water systems in buildings with raw water and, under favourable conditions, can form colonies on biofilms on the inside of pipes.
Noora Salonen, an expert who has been working at the WANDER research centre since 2018, received her doctorate in technology from Aalto University in December. She wrote a dissertation in biotechnology entitled "Recombinant protein yield in Lactococcus lactis - application to D-tagatose yield."

One of these methods is to reduce the amount of active water in the food, i.e. the water that is available for microbes to use. Salt and sugar in food reduce the amount of active water and therefore, for example, jamming with sugar and salting mushrooms are good preservation methods.
The staff of Research Center WANDER would like to wish all our partners and stakeholders happy holidays!

The WANDER staff also spend their leisure time on water and hygiene. Specialist researcher Riika Mäkinen dragged her holiday party to Soho, London, to see the memorial of John Snow, a doctor who was considered the founder of epidemiology.
