FOOD PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD 

Food production and  agricultural crops will be topics of great interest in the near future, given the growing demand of food worldwide.

The statistics of "UN World Population Prospects" speak of a growing global population expanding rapidly, which estimates that the threshold has been crossed in 9 billion individuals around the middle of this century, compared to the current 7 billions.

If we consider a cultivated area of ​​about 41 million square kilometers (FAO), which cannot increase due to many reasons such as urban development, desertification, deforestation, landfills, pollution of land and groundwater, the food production must be diversified and improved in order to optimize production per hectare.

It therefore becomes essential to be able to increase agricultural production in all extreme conditions, also using non-fertile or non-cultivated areas, desert areas where there is water scarcity, climatic zones unsuitable for crops in the earth.

To do this, it is necessary to use technologies as that proposed from ITC LTD, the Sterile Greenhouse, that can improve production, help protect crops, guarantee the final results of quality and nutritional values.

Protected crop systems have been increasing in recent years thanks to the demand of consumers who want the guarantee of eating a good product, of safe origin and because there is a need to reduce waste and save resources (water, land, energy).

Other important reasons are climate change and unusual weather events that cause great damage to outdoor crops every year.

Protected crop systems as Hydroponic and Aeroponic technologies, are used not only for vegetables, fruit, medicinal plants but also for the flower sector.

Hydroponic and Aeroponic techologies are methods of growing plants without soil; the Aeroponic and Hydroponic Technology is applied to produce tomatoes, melons, peppers, eggplant, lettuce, strawberries, vines, herbs, medicinal plants, cut flowers, and others...

AEROPONIC  AND  HYDROPONIC  GROWING 

Aeroponic is a highly advanced cultivation technique that aims to achieve the first process innovation in agriculture.

The plants, with free roots in every vegetative phase, are placed on special perforated panels intended only to support the plant; these panels rest on a non-toxic plastic channel which, in addition to supporting the panel and the plant, isolates the root from the external environment.

The nutrient solution is sprayed, according to precise timing, directly on the root system, managing to recover and reuse, the one that is not absorbed.

Hydroponic cultivation was also used in antiquity, just remember the Babylon Gardens, the floods of the Nile, the floating gardens of Mexico City; they are all examples of hydroponic systems. Hydroponic harvests have been in use for many years and are booming worldwide.

In Hydroponics, plants are grown in a substrate that replaces the soil, such as rock wool, clay, perlite, coconut fiber and are fed with a mixture of water and nutrients usually with the closed cycle technique.

The plants grown on the soil must continuously develop their roots so the energy dedicated for their development limits the growth of the plant.

With Aeroponic and Hydroponic technology, water and nutrients are supplied directly to plants, freeing them from unnecessary energy expenditure and thus giving a better balance between roots and trunk, with a faster result in terms of growth and optimal performance.

Water and nutrients not used by plants are filtered, purified and re-inserted into the cycle. Therefore this solution guarantees a considerable saving of water, up to 90% and more, compared to that used for traditional crops in the field or on the ground, where the greater quantity of water is dispersed in the soil.

Aeroponics and Hydroponics technology helps to reduce the pollution of fertile soils and groundwater, resulting from the use of fertilizers and chemical treatments normally used for the protection of crops grown on the soil.
