Soil Steaming
reduces food waste

The use of pesticides MUST be reduced. At the same time, farmers must continue to produce food in a sustainable manner. This sounds like a paradox, but not much longer. Our technology has proven to be very effective in fighting all weeds, seeds, fungi, and nematodes in the soil, the vegetables get less competition for nutrition, water and sunlight, and you get up to 330 % larger crop!

Many vegetables can also be stored much longer. This means that in many cases you can produce more and healthier food, at a lower cost and with a longer storage time. Soil Steaming reduces food waste. Steaming of the soil gives up to 330 % more growth, and some vegetables can be stored for up to 6 months longer. This means more food per m2 and less food waste.
