The Market Opportunity
Climate disruption and un-natural chemicals are impacting food supplies worldwide. The calendar for planting and harvesting has gone haywire due to climate change, floods, droughts, out-of-sync rains, excessive heat, etc., thus opening the door for innovations in food production systems that support soil health.
This opportunity also includes using technologies like mega-greenhouse growing, using hydroponics and air-ponics along w/ WiFi connected soil sensors, and selective insect harvesting. IBM, Microsoft and even John Deere has created a furrowing tractor the leaves a level ditch. More tech oriented solutions for growing foods “Precision Ag!”
Synthetic Fertilizer is a multi-billion dollar industry and is over-due for innovation toward a more sustainable, affordable, and effective solution, a centuries old belief that is due a paradigm shift.
