  Recognize and understand  
what plants need.

 
Technology does NOT replace nature.
It's about using technology
to understand nature.
 

The green, gentle technology
that we use is designed to better understand the soil and plants
 in order to support the natural process of regeneration.

 

This is a fundamentally different approach
to that used in agriculture to date.
Previous methods attempt to manipulate nature in order to achieve higher yields.

 

Green, gentle technology
reverses the way of thinking.
It harmoniously integrates with agriculture and promotes ancient wisdom, traditions and culture.

Drip irrigation

The right amount of water and fertilizer
at the right moment.

Micro irrigation and drip irrigation

Micro-irrigation and sensors in agriculture
The use of micro-irrigation systems along with soil moisture sensors, soil temperature sensors and nutrient sensors allows farmers to precisely precisely match irrigation and fertilization to the needs of their crops. This offers several advantages:

  1. Resource efficiency:
    By measuring actual soil moisture, irrigation can be optimized, saving water resources and fertilizer.
     
  2. Healthy plant growth:
    The plants receive just the right amount of water and nutrients, resulting in healthy growth. This minimizes stress on the plants and reduces susceptibility to diseases and pests.
     
  3. Increase in yield:
    Precise control of irrigation and fertilization can increase yields as plants thrive in optimal conditions.
     
  4. Environmental friendliness:
    By avoiding over-irrigation and excessive fertilization, the environmental impact of unused resources is reduced.
     
  5. Soil protection:
    Healthy soil is crucial for long-term agricultural success. By matching cultivation to the needs of the soil and plants, soil quality is maintained and improved.

Overall, this precise green, gentle technology helps improve the sustainability of agriculture, increase yields and preserve biodiversity.

Micro irrigation saves the humus layer, stores carbon dioxide and thus stops climate change

Stopping the climate change
Precise irrigation and fertilization contribute to the increase of species diversity (biodiversity) in the soil and also above the ground. As a result, the upper layer of the soil, the humus layer, can store more climate-damaging carbon dioxide (CO2), thereby making a significant contribution to stopping climate change. Because the humus layer can store 4x more CO2 than all trees and 2x as much as the atmosphere.

The higher crop yields create a solid income for smallholder farmers so that they can do their work with dignity, for all of us. Because they play a key role in stopping climate change.

 

Green gentle technology in harmony with nature.

Recognize
what plants need
at any moment and from anywhere.

for an agricultural model that feeds the world
and preserves our habitat.
