POMONA FARM official website https://pomonafarm.jp/ Moisculture and Seawater Agriculture are technology developed by CULTIVERA Co., Ltd. is an agri-tech company to solve food problems by developing unique technologies such as moisture culture in response to changes in the cultivation environment for crops due to climate change. By operating the agricultural corporation "Pomona Farm", Cartivella Co., Ltd. simultaneously develops and implements technology, They actually produce and sell fruit tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, micro leaves and herbs all year round. What is "Moisculture" "Moist culture" combines the technology of cultivating using "moisture" and a new way of eating, demonstrating a culture that brings completely new values ​​to nature and people. Developed by CULTIVERA Co., Ltd., this innovative technique recreates the top 15cm layer of natural soil using a special fiber-made artificial substrate sheet about 5mm thick. It creates space between the substrate sheet and the water supplied from below, filling this space with vaporized moisture (humidity) to promote the generation and activation of fine roots. Key Features: Allows uniform growth without unevenness. Enables precise control of water and nutrient distribution through sensor-monitored humidity in the root zone, utilizing specialized algorithms for irrigation. Cultivates vegetables with high sugar content and rich in vitamins due to enhanced environmental adaptability of plants through moisture vaporization, which boosts root growth and increases the amount of sugars and amino acids in leaves and fruits, enhancing osmotic pressure. Reduces environmental impact by efficiently absorbing water and nutrients, reducing water usage to 1/10 of conventional irrigation methods and eliminating drainage. This also eliminates the need for waste treatment facilities, suppressing residual nitrogen and controlling pests. Reduces energy consumption by implementing simple greenhouse structures, reducing heavy oil usage by two-thirds compared to conventional farming methods, and allowing operation using energy sources such as biomass or solar power. Adapts to climate change by cultivating vegetables resistant to temperature fluctuations, such as tomatoes capable of withstanding temperature variations of ±10-15°C compared to normal optimal growing temperatures. Moisculture Utilization Projects: "Seawater Agriculture" uses seawater to neutralize acidic rain, nurturing various types of roots tailored to absorb moisture and nutrients from both soil and air, cultivating nutrient-rich crops. "The Good Green Farms" focuses on producing food that becomes difficult to grow due to advancing climate change using Moist culture, starting research on crops like strawberries and grains. Supports the training and assistance of new farmers. "Green Ocean" is a project for floating farms at sea, facilitating both mobility and food production. In collaboration with N-ARK, it combines "salt-resistant construction techniques" and "seawater agriculture technology" to create new residential environments adaptable to climate change, utilizing rainwater-capturing roofs, seawater-based air conditioning, and underwater artificial photosynthesis for plankton growth to improve marine environments. This comprehensive approach aims to address environmental issues such as freshwater and soil depletion, pollution, and deforestation associated with traditional agriculture, offering innovative solutions for sustainable food production.

"Sola Impuls," an airplane flying in the sky powered by solar energy, demonstrated for the first time in the world that it can achieve continuous flight for up to 120 hours solely on natural energy. Currently, H55, the company behind this achievement, is working on fully electric aircraft and the practical application of flying cars using hydrogen energy.

Watergen official website https://www.watergen.com/ The AWG technology developed by the Israeli startup "watergen" requires a power supply to operate, but since it can cover the necessary power with portable solar panels, it can be used in arid regions and during natural disasters. It can contribute to areas suffering from water shortages, and is still active in various parts of the world. In Japan, several company using this technology to develop water servers. There are various sizes, capacities, and prices, but even a small one can generate more than 4 liters of water per day. Of course, the service is also available for individuals, so please check it out if you like it.
