Blue Green Vision
Global Warming and Inconsistent Seasons
Need for an Innovative Sustainable Method for green cover and blue waterscape
Need for an Innovative Sustainable Method for farming
Depleting Glaciers matter of Concern Longer Dry Seasons & Lesser Rains
* Himalayas in 1970s and Now.
Drying River Beds & Depleting Ground Water
HYDROPONICS
HYDROPONICS
The word was derived from the Greek words, HYDRO (water), and PONOS (labor), literally, “water working”.
HYDROPONICSis the answer
Hydroponics… A Green shot at farming
Need for an Innovative Sustainable method for
farming• Drought conditions
• Unpredictable Climate
• Rising temperatures
• Pollution of rivers.
• Drying up of water sources both in-
ground as well as on-ground.
• Lack of irrigation water due to lack of
canals.
• Poor water management
• No soil is needed for hydroponics
• The water stays in the system &reused
• Possible to control the nutrition levels
in their entirety
• No nutrition pollution is released into
the environment
• Stable and high yields
• Pests & diseases are easier to get rid
of than in soil becoz’ of the
container's mobility
• Ease of harvesting
• No pesticide damage
• Plants grow healthier
India is a market to be explored!!!Though a few individual green enthusiasts with a lab in a boxNeed for an innovative and sustainable farming solution
Target market and opportunity
• Virgin market in India • Massive growth in hydroponic cultivation - in forward thinking countries. • In Australia, the area under hydroponic crop production went from 155 to
2500 hectares from 1990 to 2008.• The world commercial hydroponics industry has grown 4 to 5 fold in the last
10 years and is currently estimated at between 20,000 and 25,000 hectares with a farm gate value of US$6 to 8 billion.
New Belief• The future lies in locally grown and sold produce limiting the ‘road miles’. • This method of growing our food is a more sustainable model than those
currently practised. • The consumer is becoming increasingly concerned over health issues,
environmental issues, even water consumption cost and availability.• Drivers for the further development of hydroponic growing techniques.
Green Path…
• Gram Panchayats • Governments • Agro sector Channels• Targeted Urban farming in Cityscape
