Agriculture Technologies

Sustainable agriculture and water conservation are necessary to protect our food and water resources. Large-scale, monoculture crops often deplete soil nutrients and pollute water supplies, leading to environmental degradation. Natural resource conservation and sustainable agriculture can help offset the effects of conventional farming while accommodating growing populations. Advanced indoor growing technologies, which can be powered by renewable energy, can provide increased yields while using less land, reducing water consumption, and using fewer pesticides and chemicals.
