Growth of Population Triggers Food Crisis! Helenna Ariesty, Ex-Co-Founder of AgriT: Farming Technology Solves Famine

With the advance of medical science, the world’s population and food demand both increase continuously. Many factors such as production, economy, and farming have led to food famine. In order to solve this problem, the second goal of United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Zero Hunger needs more attention.

Ex-Co-Founder of AgriT, Helenna Ariesty, invited by《The Icons》to share the solution of famine with her expertises and experiences.

Advanced of farming tech, Zero Hunger

“AgriT offers the ability to increase the yield with less environmental resources, such as much less water or land, and offers many benefits to everyone.”

Helenna indicated that the demand for food has been increasing as populations grow, while the availability of land, water, and other resources is constant or decreasing, which might trigger the famine, and the only solution is farming technology.

“AgriT offers ‘Aeroponics’, through suspended plants in closed areas, being atomized or sprayed with nutrients for cultivation. In addition to utilizing 5% of the water used in traditional outdoor farming, Aeroponics offers a closed-loop system, where plants are more effectively able to absorb nutrients, water, and oxygen through the roots, and lighting is programmed for precision.”

Aeroponics generates 390 times more productivity with 95% less water than field farming and 40% less water than hydroponics. Indoor farming solutions also reduce risks from climate, storms, pests, or natural disasters, making it a more effective way to increase outputs with higher-quality inputs and less pesticides or chemicals.

Helenna thinks that the growing shortfall of food cannot be fulfilled through traditional outdoor farming methods alone, which require more scarce resources, including land and water. Technology will play a large role in development of solutions to meet the increasing global need to feed people. 

“Indoor farming eliminates the natural risks associated with traditional outdoor farming, making it a far more sustainable solution to meet the growing needs for food.”
