Intelligent biodegradable Growboxx® plant cocoon made of recycled paper plants productive trees in combination with vegetables without using irrigation.
'When we started in 2003 realizing our dream of The Treesolution we knew it could only work if we found a way to plant all degraded land on earth without using irrigation. Today that moment has come'.”
STEENBERGEN, NOORD BRABANT, NEDERLAND, February 7, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Groasis, recently designated as “National Icon” by the Dutch Government for being one of the 3 most innovative projects of The Netherlands, introduces a breakthrough invention that could help solve the global water crisis. Groasis is proud to present an updated version of its intelligent biodegradable bucket made from recycled paper - the Growboxx® plant cocoon. Farmers, investors and governments who use the Growboxx® take advantage from its “triple 90 benefit”: 90% lower planting costs, 90% less water use and a survival rate in excess of 90%.— Pieter Hoff
In 2003 Groasis started to develop its technology to successfully plant without using irrigation. Over the past decade hundreds of projects in over 30 countries demonstrated that using the Groasis Technology results in higher survival rates, faster plant growth (more biomass), less water consumption and overall significantly lower cost.
For agroforestry purposes, the biodegradable Growboxx® plant cocoon can be used to plant trees in combination with vegetables without using irrigation. Farmers living in dry, eroded and degraded areas are thus able to plant trees whilst producing food. The Growboxx® plant cocoon provides them with immediate, short term cash flow from the vegetable harvest in combination with a long term cash flow from the productive tree.
For ecosystem restoration purposes the Growboxx® can be used to plant a combination of a native tree with 4 native wild flowers or bushes. These pioneer groups then gradually colonize and green the remaining area.
For landscaping purposes in urban areas the Growboxx® can plant a combination of trees and bedding plants or bushes. Cities can stop using scarce water and expensive irrigation systems. Groasis is currently negotiating with 3 major cities in dry countries to implement the Growboxx® in order to save them huge amounts of water and money.
The Dutch company expects to announce more news about this before the end of February. Groasis will soon start shipping the all-new model Growboxx® plant cocoon.
