Convert Non-Cultivable Lands and Improve Farming Techniques
1. TEAM : AKSHYA
Developing techniques to convert non-cultivable lands into cultivable lands.
a) Salty water lands (one of the key reason of being non-arable lands)
By planting desalination plants we can reduce the salt content
to a greater extent we may increase the fresh water source which
ultimately results in high production.
b) Hot-land
By planting shadowing trees to reduce the heat/ temperature of
the land and then planting some edible plants near them (after doing
crop-structure).
Finding techniques to improve cold storage technology at low cost because
the food and seeds that are produced are not fully consumed, there’s a gap
said as “wastage”.
By using vertical hydroponic farming with an added advantage of vermin-
composting technique that will yield more fertility for the soil, which
increases the production.
It needs cow dung, coco-coir and sun shaded places.
To increase cow dung we want to tame the cattle fields(cow, sheeps,
etc) which may also increase the meat production because meat’s
demand can also be compensated
(feeding is nothing but giving vegetables, cereals and also meat).
To motivate and create awareness about farming and also provide necessary
subsidies to the farmers by making them to avail and implement new
technologies (drip irrigation).
Suggesting the private players and government to invest in agriculture
for the people who are deprived of investing money for yield or
cultivation.
The invested amount can be taken back after the yield and the profit
can be shared between the investors and farmers. Ultimately this will
motivate the farmers to retain the cultivable lands rather than selling
Designing an engine that would reduce the consumption of bio-fuel which
are extracted from grains.
Based on FAO (2007-08) records one-ten million tonnes of grains are
used for boi-fuel production.
2. Here the grains are anonymous, either we can use the grains for
edible purpose or we can use those lands for other plant cultivation
purpose.
HYDROPONICS
Hydroponics is a subset of hydro culture (passive hydroponics) and is
a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water,
without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral
nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as gravel, mineral wool,
expanded clay or coconut husk. Hydroponics uses soil-free techniques and
indoor lighting to allow you to grow your own fruit and vegetables, as well as
farming your own organic produce – even if you don’t have access to a
garden. Hydroponically grown foods not only taste better and are more
nutritional, you can change the properties of your food, monitor what goes
into your food and pollutes less. You can also grow more in less space. This
is especially great for those of us that do not have a backyard to grow in.
With the right plant selection, we can also keep pests away.
The main advantages of hydroponic technique over the normal
conventional cultivation technique are,
Plants can be grown anywhere
Better control over plant growth
Less work with hydroponics
Water and nutrients are conserved
Pest and disease problems are reduced
Transplanting shock is reduced for seedlings
No Soil erosion
The individual himself can grow his daily consumption requirements
by adopting this technique.
