Technology opens new ways to feed world population

New American technology promises three crops per year using six inches of soil with 20% of the normal watering requirement.

No digging or tilling of the land is required, and the Square Foot Gardening method can be carried out anywhere, including on paved ground or a roof top.

It will be described by Victoria Boudman, CEO, Square Foot Gardening Foundation, at next week’s Global Forum for Innovations in Agriculture (GFIA) in Abu Dhabi, an event focussing on how to feed the world’s growing population from a limited arable area.
