To overcome the challenges of crop spoilage and high operating costs, solar cold storage are the most effective solution today. Crop spoilage in farms is a major obstacle that India faces. Erratic supply of electricity causes electricity-powered cold storages to remain inactive and storage conditions inside to not remain in the optimal range. On the… Read More »Solar Cold Storage: Green Energy Can Reduce Crop Wastage
India’s farmlands suffer from large volumes of crop and produce wastage. Lack of proper storage facilities is a major reason why farmers lose about 25 per cent of fruits and vegetables due to spoilage. Electric- or diesel-driven cold storage are available options, but collateral factors of exhaustible fuel usage and high running costs make these… Read More »Ecofrost: Made In India Solar-Powered Cold Storage To Reduce Crop Spoilage

Do you know that we are consuming natural resources at a much faster pace than we can possibly imagine? And that buildings make up for about forty per cent of the total demand for energy? Also, the fact that our buildings can be made in such a way that they are completely sustainable on their… Read More »Towards A Sustainable Future Driven By The Thrust of Organic, Flexible and Printable Solar Cells
Throughout the ages, yield from the farm has been majorly dependent on the manual effort put in by the agri community. External factors include weather, water supply and land condition. Introduction of automated equipment and sensorised devices for agriculture ensures that the yield keeps improving, even if other factors are not favourable. We look into… Read More »Automation: The Holy Grail Of Modern Agriculture
