Advanced Container Technologies, Inc announced on June 6th, 2022, about GrowPods being featured in Borgen Magazine. The article talks about how GrowPods can contribute to enhancing worldwide food security.
According to the BBC, more than 928 million are severely food insecure. Due to the absence of a balanced diet, life expectancies decrease, growth is stunted, and children have diminished mental capacities. Moreover, not too many people have sufficient food to survive. United Kingdom’s Global Food Security program has revealed that over 2 million people don’t have access to the crucial micronutrients that affect their health and life expectancy.
The consequences of global food insecurity are enormous, the publication reports. Without a balanced diet, life expectancies decrease, growth is stunted, and children have diminished mental capacities. And, too many people simply don’t have enough food to survive.
Innovative modular hydroponic farms like GrowPods can combat this very troubling issue. They can be set up virtually everywhere while providing an efficient way to grow several types of leafy greens and other food items. They can also eliminate the risks of crops getting ravaged by locusts and other insects. Since there won’t be any pests, there will not be any need to spray pesticides, which is harmful to human health.
GrowPods can be used to prevent malnutrition. Most produce naturally loses around 45% of its nutritional value by the time it has completed transit and is purchased. The GrowPods method of localizing produce is an ideal fit for poor and malnourished areas. Establishing international partnerships can ensure the smooth rollout of these modular farms, and thus boost global food security.
