MUMBAI, 12 June 2021: A S Agri and Aqua LLP one of the leading Agriculture Development and Agro-tech Solutions companies in India, is transforming and revolutionizing the Indian agricultural ecosystem with the introduction of Hi-tech Soil-Based Vertical Farming (SBVF) in India and overseas countries.
Requirement for Hi-Tech Soil-Based Vertical Farming
With the global population growing at unprecedented levels, feeding such a vast amount of people becomes a difficult task, especially since we are continuously losing fertile and arable lands to urbanization.
India, presently the second-most populous country in the world is projected to become the first within this decade. With a dramatic rise in population and urbanization and industrialization, the burden on the agricultural infrastructure continues to grow. Vertical Farming can be an efficient solution to these challenges.
Explorer of Hi-tech Soil-Based Vertical Farming in India
Vertical Farming is a ground-breaking agricultural practice. While Vertical Farming is already present in India, it is of the Hydroponic and Aquaponic kind (water-based) and has several limitations, including the restriction of crop varieties.
A S Agri and Aqua LLP, owing to its consistent focus on scientific research and development, has become a pioneer in Hi-Tech Soil Based Vertical Farming with 50 to 60 times the higher yield per acre.
With SBVF, the risks posed by pests and changing weather patterns can be eliminated. Moreover, Soil-based technology also ensures a significantly higher yield in terms of quality and quantity while requiring 85 percent less water, 85 percent less labour, and 99 percent less land.
In March 2018, A S Agri and Aqua LLP was founded by Dr. Prashant Govindrao Zade. The company is led by 12 hardworking and dedicated professionals from different industries who have come together to fulfill their common goal of promoting innovative agricultural practices and ensuring that the Indian farmer lives a sustainable, self-sufficient, and independent lifestyle.
The company's journey has begun with a motive to develop the technologically underdeveloped turmeric farming sector. It has now been expanded to include working on its mission of improving the overall lifestyle and living standards of Indian farmers and building a sustainable future. Beginning with successfully producing high-quality turmeric in vertical farming poly houses, the company has now proven its expertise in producing a wide range of crops through soil-based technology, including essentials such as potatoes, tomatoes, soybean, sweet potatoes, ginger, and many more crops.
