Smarter Farming - Clean. Green. Pure.
Much of the agriculture industry is broken. Global concerns around food security, extreme weather and increased costs to both the consumer and the environment must be addressed. Currently, there are three ways of growing crops: outdoor, greenhouse and indoor; however each method has its challenges.\n\nOutdoor farming leaves us at the mercy of mother nature and as a result many farmers rely on pesticides, which can be harmful to the environment. Greenhouses may be efficient, but don\u2019t unleash the full potential of crops because glass windows block out UV-light. And with indoor farms, artificial lights can\u2019t replace natural sunlight, which is crucial to a plant\u2019s growth. Combining all the options to create a clean, green and pure option is what we need now.\n\nIn this Episode of Sustainability Champions, I speak with Ingo Mueller, CEO of AgriFORCE, and Champion of Farming in a Biosphere. AgriFORCE has developed an environmentally-friendly and clean form of growing high-value crops that can be set up in almost any weather environment around the world.\n\nTheir intellectual property is designed to grow both pharmaceutical and agricultural crops in a way that leads to a 30-35% increase in crop yield, while using up to 90% less energy, 90% less water and 40% less fertilizer than most traditional indoor/greenhouse facilities.\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, please give the Sustainability Champions podcast a 5-star review in the Apple Podcast app and subscribe so you\u2019ll know when the next episode is released!\n\nResources:\n\n\n Website: https://agriforcegs.com/ (https://agriforcegs.com)\n\n Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agriforce-growing-systems-ltd/ (https://www.linkedin.com/company/agriforce-growing-systems-ltd/)
