Irrigation Technologies is committed to help coffee farmers grow better with less inputs, and will share with partners its Deep Root Irrigation [DRI] technology, which promises to help ensure sustainable water use, counteract climate change, and reduce fertilization costs by increasing fertilizer efficiency while also boosting yields. The use of this technology is a key strategy for avoiding deforestation and increasing the productivity and production of coffee farms around the world.
With the use of DRI, coffee farmers who irrigate will be able to save more than 60% of the water, fertilizer, and energy to pump that water than they can do with any other irrigation system in the world. Because water and fertilizer are delivered directly to the root zone, there is no waste and no fertilizer runoff, which benefits the farmer’s bottom line and the environment.
