The document discusses N-Drip, a company providing a gravity-powered micro-irrigation solution as a sustainable alternative to flood irrigation. It notes that flood irrigation currently accounts for 85% of global irrigation but is unsustainable due to issues like water waste, soil erosion, and lower yields. N-Drip's solution transforms flood fields to micro-irrigation using existing infrastructure, powered by gravity alone without pumps or filters to provide higher yields while reducing water consumption and emissions. The solution also includes an app called N-Drip Connect that provides real-time field data to optimize irrigation management.

17. The N-Drip Solution to Italy
Italy background:
▪ Location: Mediterranean region more reliant on irrigation
▪ Weather: increased heat waves, increasing water shortage crisis
▪ Po river basin classified as highest level of drought severity. 5 Italian regions, home to 42% of the population. Water
level has dropped 2m below normal.
▪ Total of 967,000 hectares of flood irrigation,with 202,000 hectares of rice
Drivers to convert from flood to N-Drip in Italy:
▪ Producing high-quality crops
▪ Growing concern for availability of water
▪ Shortage of labour
▪ Minimising fertilizers
▪ Sophisticated farmers
▪ Low conversion cost for Non orchard crops/commodity crops
