Solution Overview

Solution Name:

Plant Hack

One-line solution summary:

Biomimicking of plant physiology to bridge plant engineering with micro/nano era for nutrient loading for soil less farming & tree diagnosis

Pitch your solution.

To address the feeding billions,resource crisis for agriculture in future,efficient tree diagnosis and zeroing on environmental effects of farming with a unified concept for covering wider plant taxonomy.The proposed solution is implementing the bio mimicking of plant anatomy and physiology with Micro embedded systems. The main interest of physiology and anatomy to hack is plant hydraulics in vascular system and root to regulate the intakes of plant.The basic model is a micro needle and actuator/motor to supply water and nutrients just as roots to xylem vessels.This setup can revolutionize the farming practices to get hands on the challenging task of growing food markets,yield,minimizing resources for farming and promote environmental sustainability.

What specific problem are you solving?

World population is expected to grow by over a third, or 2.3 billion people, between 2009 and 2050, raising overall food production by some 70 percent consuming millions of hectares and eroding the forest lands, where we are already losing 18.7 million acres of forests annually.The farm lands today are already drained from natural soil nutrients since cultivated from centuries and are relied on fertilizers where ancient practices of farming are no longer option without effecting environment.The urban migration and increasing labor costs are already threatening the farming occupation.The proposed concept offer multiple solutions for various categories of farming from .
