A S AGRI AND AQUA LLP is at the forefront of agricultural technology. A S AGRI have a patented technology in Vertical Farming. Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers.
It incorporates controlled environment agriculture, which aims to optimize plant growth and it uses soil based vertical farming with drip irrigation. We use soil and we are the only one in the world who go upto
12 layers.
The median scenario of the UN 2017 world population projects that global population will reach nearly 10 billion by 2050. To feed such a large population, we need to optimize scarce agricultural resources such as land and water. Vertical farming is a perfect solution to this as it optimizes the agricultural resources to generate maximum output.
Benefits of Vertical Farming
- Year-round crop production.
- Eliminates agricultural runoff.
- Significantly reduces use of fossil fuels(farm machines and transport of crops).
- Makes use of abandoned or unused properties.
- No weather-related crop failures.
- Offers the possibility of sustainability for urban centers.
- Creates new urban employment opportunities.
- Reduces the risk of infection from agents transmitted at the agricultural interface.
- Returns farmland to nature, helping to restore ecosystem functions and services.
