Before the war in Ukraine broke out, import-reliant #Lebanon was already reeling from food inflation of 1000% - the highest in the world.
At the beginning of the year, WFP supported 1 in 3 people across Lebanon, like Turkiya, a single mom of three, pictured.

The outbreak of war in #Ukraine led to the fastest growing refugee crisis in Europe since WWII and sent ripple effects around the world.
1 in 3 families in Ukraine are estimated to be food insecure. WFP reaches nearly 3 million people every month with food and cash assistance.

THREAD: What's the story behind YesBase and Gelponics?
Winston Tsai, founder & CEO of YesHealth Group: "We got the idea for YesBase and #Gelponics back in 2018. At that time, we were using sponge as a substrate material in our #hydroponics system... (1/8) #Sustainability

"...Originally, I thought sponge was better than soil, but as our yields increased, so did the amount of waste, and I began to worry about the environmental impact..." (2/8)
"...First, we formed an in-house R&D team to research alternative substrate materials, which led to the development of YesBase, a unique, plant-based #hydrogel. We added microbial bacteria to help with germination and healthy seedling growth..." (3/8)
THREAD: #Hydroponics has a BIG waste problem, but YesHealth Group has a solution and we call it #Gelponics. (1/10)
PROBLEM:
A large-scale #hydroponic vertical farm, yielding 1000kg of leafy vegetables per day, contains approximately 45,000 plants growing at one time... (2/10)

...If each plant occupies a 2.5cm³ substrate (made from sponge or similar) and if you were to line-up these pieces of substrate side-by-side, then there would be enough material to cover two basketball courts AND all of it becomes waste after the plants are harvested... (3/10)
#Tech in #Farming has been changing the world since the invention of the wheel millenniums ago. Since then, all new innovations either make crops easier to #harvest, more bountiful shorter farming time and more resilient and healthier crops.

Want to know what #tech is hot now?
#Hydroponics has been a thing for a while now while #urbanfarming is still a growing idea. Among #tech that are being used in #farming are drones, #IoT and use of data analytics to ensure the precise farming.
While some may not be tangible but they result to exponential results!
