As global demand for food grows and accessible freshwater resources continue to shrink, the world’s agriculture industry faces a huge challenge. It must produce more food with fewer resources. Traditional irrigation farming practices are leading to resource degradation and subsequent decline in crop yields. In the present world environmental context, it is imperative that growers find a way to enhance their present irrigation practices to improve agricultural productivity while conserving and enhancing natural resources. Precision irrigation management, such as Hortau’s, is key in providing the sustainable solution growers require. Hortau's soil tension technology allows growers to know exactly when, where and how long to water crops, resulting in greater water, energy and labour cost efficiencies. Hortau's solution makes farming practices more accurate; an important step towards sustainable agriculture.
