Agriculture
N-Drip
N-Drip is replacing wasteful and inefficient flood irrigation for staple crops with the first and only micro-irrigation solution powered by gravity. Agriculture accounts for 70% of global water usage, but 85% of it uses the 5000 year old technology of flood irrigation, which wastes 70% of water.
N-drip brings agriculture into the 21st century by reducing water usage by 70%, while increasing crop yield by up to 45% and optimising fertiliser usage.
