It takes a village to raise a farm!
But then again, sometimes all it takes is a dream and a will to persevere.
We built these semi-automated, hydroponic, vertical farms inside refurbished shipping containers on a limited budget, with a very small team and under very tight timelines.
Kudos to my team for staying the course and making this dream come true.
As we move on to the next phase of the project, i.e, optimizing the container farms, we will be installing and testing some of our innovations, such as VoltaGrow towers, plasma-activated seed treatment system, LN2 based cooling system, and retractable solar panels.

We graduated! Alongside 14 other rockstar AgTech startups solving real-world problems from Argentina, Canada, Germany, Sweden, and the US.
Thanks to the academy coordinators, mentors, and the AgTech network at THRIVE, participating in the 12-week agrifood tech pre-accelerator program helped us tremendously in developing our go-to-market strategy.

The full suite of "plasma agriculture" solutions provided by our startup, DeepBlue Greens, offers several benefits to commercial crop growers, such as:
1. Disinfect seed surface
2. Improved seed germination and better quality seedlings
3. Enhanced plant growth
4. Disinfect harvested produce by washing with plasma treated water (extend shelf life)
5. Sterilize air in storage facility

The VoltaGrow Helix grow tower (shown here as a scaled model) has a unique helical design that allows for the maximum number of grow sites available in a grow tower system. Additionally, it rotates on its central axis to expose all plants evenly to a single LED thus reducing energy use.

Our startup has developed an innovative plant nutrient delivery system called Voltaponics that produces electrically-energized air, water, and nutrients for application to plants and produce increased crop yield.

Globally, demand for is projected to increase by 70% by 2050. At the same time available arable land for is declining and crops grown in open field farms are becoming increasingly vulnerable due to , affecting crop yield.
Indoor farming is seen as part of the solution to tackle some of these agriculture challenges. produces higher crop yields in a much smaller footprint acreage as compared to an open field farm.

Although indoor farming produces much higher crop yield on a per square foot basis as compared to yield from the same footprint acreage of an open field farm, the methods employed in indoor farming come with their own set of challenges and are time consuming and inefficient -- for instance, it could take up to 2 years to set up a medium-sized commercial indoor and up to 12 years to payback (ROI).

The high-voltage systems developed by our boosts indoor farm productivity by utilizing minimal electrical energy to significantly increase crop yield (up to 2x) in indoor farms, while at the same time reduces water use ( ) and eliminates pesticide use ( ) .

We have developed an innovative plant nutrient delivery system called Voltaponics (TM) that produces electrically energized air, water, and nutrients for application to plants by fitting into and enhancing existing , , or equipment.

The Voltaponics plant nutrient delivery system enhances crop growth by up to 100% in indoor farms without any significant increase in input of material or energy resources.

We are currently planning to launch our free trial grow program for local greenhouses in spring of 2022. The free trial grow program will field test our VoltaDrip Plasma Water Generator which produces plasma activated water (PAW).

The high-voltage, cold-plasma activated water has high concentrations of Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species (RONS) that act as fertilizers and enhances plant growth. Research in over the past two decades has shown a significantly increased crop yield in 20 kinds of crop plants (including corn, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, rice, and wheat) and better quality of crops produced.
