Dr.Nadagooudar. I spent 10 days in India in the late 1990s. Vessels that can grow plants on multiple levels could replace conventional in ground row planting and harvesting. See my comments.I would consider working with a farmer or rancher in India to prove the benefits. We will consider licensing in India

But that ignores something the article points out. Land consolidation increases the likelihood of a disease or climate related crop failure. You’re talking about putting all your eggs in one basket in search of profits. That may become an increasingly risky gamble as the climate changes. I believe maintaining soil, not soaking it in pesticides, crop diversity and encouraging people to grow their own (there was a point in my lifetime where it seemed everyone had a backyard vegetable garden) are the way forward. Every young person who’s come into our garden has walked out saying “I want to do this.” What better way to turn young people onto not just vegetable gardening as part of their personal food chain but to plant the seed of inspiration in future farmers? Making sure there is land available for them to farm and programs like BCYF here in my home province that teach young people agribusiness skills and match them up with farmers who have fallow land young farmers can turn back into productive farms.
