Why
This Event
The farms across the globe use 70% world’s water consumed annually. But out of that, 40% is wasted due to inefficient irrigation system & overall poor water management. That’s a shocking truth. Isn’t it?
So, what is the solution? The need of the hour is to embrace technology & innovation to ensure positive impact of water for agriculture along with futuristic policy formulation.
For that, it is essential to nurture innovators and startups to focus more on these aspects and at the same time governments world over, including India, need to come up with a comprehensive policy to tackle the problems of water wastage in agriculture.
Realising this, Villgro Innovations Foundation and Hindustan Unilever Foundation had started ‘Technologies for Collective Good in Agricultural Water Use’ program in 2019 nurturing 9 Startups. The objective of the program is to identify solutions that have a positive impact on water use in agriculture and are solutions that can scale sustainably. To celebrate the success of the program, APAC News Network is organising ‘Uncharted Waters Conclave’. This event is Supported by ‘Villgro’ and Hindustan Unilever Foundation.
