Drone-Assisted Crop Monitoring

Drone software that examines photographs taken by drones and looks for unhealthy vegetation has developed along with the continual improvement of drones. Therefore, assisting farmers in identifying the source of an infection and reducing vegetation loss. These systems include a built-in machine learning capability that can aid in distinguishing between different crop varieties and the weeds that pose a hazard to them.

The River-Saver is an autonomous solar-powered device that collects plastic through a barrier that spans a river.A floating processing plant resembling a barge receives the garbage.Bins indicate to the system when they are full so that a boat can come and pick them up for recycling after the trash has been moved up a conveyor belt. This will help reduce human power as it tries to clean the small rivers connected inside Bulacan that has been contaminated by different wastes from human act.

According to Ruben Rubio, the largest issue affecting the output of crops in the Philippines is the farmers' declining income, which discourages their children from working the land and causes more and more fields of rice, corn, pineapples, etc. to be abandoned. You may appreciate the dire plight of the Filipino farmer when you consider the absence of government help in terms of better crops, fertilizers, effective irrigation systems, and technology/farm mechanization. The crops that have been sown or are ready to be harvested are destroyed by typhoons (20 typhoons on average annually!) and accompanying floods. Sadly, crop insurance is not widely used since the premiums are too high for farmers to afford.

According to the Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Lito Atienza has ordered a thorough investigation into the continued dumping of wastes into the water channel, which was once branded as one of the most polluted places in the world. It appears that Atienza was irritated by the severe pollution he observed in the river system in Bulacan.

Bulacan province's agricultural fields are being rapidly replaced by urbanization and industrialization. The province is known as the SME capital of the Philippines by the local government due to the abundance of small and medium scale enterprises (SME) there. Among the items produced in Bulacan are processed foods, particularly sweets and pastries, feeds, metal and marble goods, textile and apparel, jewelry, chemicals and medications, firecrackers, and materials for home furnishings.

Food, particularly rice, meat, and vegetables, are supplied in large quantities to Metro Manila by this province.

After the conquest of Manila, the Spaniards, led by Martin de Goiti, moved up north in 1571 and colonized the area now occupied by Bulacan. It was not clear what date the province was founded because its territory changed a lot during the early part of the Spanish occupation. Its towns were either former encomiendas or parishes.

It was in 1848 when the boundaries of Bulacan province, Pampanga and Nueva Ecija were delineated.

The province of Bulacan played a prominent role in the armed struggle against Spain and the subsequent formation of the Philippine Revolutionary Government in 1898. Biak-na-Bato in San Miguel town was the scene of the signing of the agreement in 1897 that temporarily halted the revolution. Malolos City is considered the cradle of the Philippine Republic. The first Philippine Constitution was promulgated here on January 23, 1899 and thus, it is also termed as Malolos Constitution.
