Issues

Available agricultural lands are diminishing due to over cultivation and urban expansion. Water shortages are a serious risk for agriculture and all living species. The world population is growing and there is a need for increased amounts of food to provide food security to worldwide inhabitants.

At the technical level, global agriculture is responsible for 20% of the greenhouse gases emission each year. 300 million of tons of fertilizers are used yearly. A significant part of those fertilizers reaches groundwaters, rivers, lakes, seas, putting at risk the quality of water sources while impacting the biodiversity and the ecosystems. Studies have shown that the current practice is to over irrigate fields, leading to an excessive water consumption. However, averaging fertilization is not effective because soils with high fertilizer’s concentration, coupled with an inappropriate irrigation cause plants’ stress affecting their vitality, quality and yield. This situation also impacts the overall profitability with rising costs for resources.
