hydroCotton Ltd
We use data to improve the way cotton is grown.
Traditionally accreditation and farm management have been kept separate. At hydroCotton we leverage the same data to grow more sustainable cotton with less resources, while giving the farmer sustainable verification and access to preferred cotton markets.
hydroCotton growing system baselines:
- Up to 80% reduction in water and fertiliser usage.
- 200-300% increase in yield per hectare.
- Up to 40% saving in farm operational costs.
- 100% pesticide free growing conditions.
hydroCotton is a multidisciplinary team consisting of designers, engineers and farmers. Our expertise lies in designing and implementing new solutions and technologies to address pressing social and environmental problems.
