Please find enclosed the coverage in the Swedish magazine “Framtidens Hållbara Matsystem” ('Future Sustainable Food Production Systems'), distributed by Dagens Industri, on the solutions and innovations for future sustainable food systems. The English version of the article and relevant quotes are attached for your interest.
"We know from experience that farmers can get more harvests from the same area, which means that the investment results in higher profitability, fossil-free operations, and lower water use."
Ann-Sofie Bergort, CMO, Spowdi
'Spowdi’s drip irrigation system is a gamechanger. The solar-powered irrigation system uses only the sun as its power source. This helps the farmers reduce their dependencies on fossil fuels and thus lower irrigation costs. Spowdi’s system, which is optimized for drip-irrigation, also helps farmers conserve water; a crucial factor in a water-stressed country like India.'
