Globally, food production needs to increase by 70 percent by 2050, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, while facing various challenges including water scarcity. As the gap between the global food demand and supply grows incessantly, the need to find innovative solutions for immediate and effective application is a pressing one, to ensure food security. Plasma Waters’ technology, a disruptive innovation which is based on nature’s gift of Plasma, the fourth state of matter, addresses this very challenge. Plasma-ized Water, just like in nature when lightning hits the rain, contains reactive oxygen species that interact with the genetic pathways and circuits inside all crop plants, leading to faster and more efficient germination, accelerating growth, and preventing the transmission of plant pathogens, delivering increased crop performance without the use of any chemicals.
