Food insecurity in Fragile countries
Growpipes are collaborating with Greenpro Africa, a South African engineering company with assignments across the continent.
The company specializes in designing climate-controlled greenhouse farms.
In the team we have engineers in water purification, renewable energy and hydroponic cultivation.
Food security will be the greatest challenge to civilization this century.
In 2050, we are expected to reach a population of 9.7 billion.
Over the last 40 years, we have lost 1/3of all arable land.
A quarter of the population is facing a looming water crisis.
Agriculture accounts for about 70% of global water abstraction.
Food production needs to increase by 50% by 2050.
With the Greenpro Africa and Growpipes team and system it is easy to maximize any given cultivation area both indoors and outdoors.
Through partners we also offer complete solutions that are tailor made according to your needs and budgets.
Patent approved (1950889-4 - Sweden)
A closed and circular system.
Surface-efficient solution.
Guarantees that each plant receives water & nutrition.
Designed to withstand a cultivation height of 6 m.
Greenpro Africa and Growpipes have since 2016 been testing different hydroponic plant systems for indoor and greenhouse farming.
When none of the systems lived up to our expectations, we decided to develop our own system.
