CORPORATE
PRESENTATION
2016
THE CHALLENGEPRODUCING SCALABLE BIOMASS FOR FOOD, FEED AND FUEL WITHOUT
USING TRADITIONAL NATURAL RESOURCES
FOODBy 2050, unsustainable farming practices will cut arable land per person in half
CHALLENGE
Using scarce natural resources more efficiently to feed the growing population is the main challenge world agriculture
will face in the coming decades

70%MORE FOOD WILL BE
REQUIRED FOR AN
ADDITIONAL 2.3 BILLION
PEOPLE BY 2050
1 CROP = 10% PRODUCTION

FEEDBy 2050, animal protein production – meats
(poultry / swine / beef) will double, as well as
dairy, and fish production will almost triple
30%OF THE EARTH’S

ANIMALS RAISED
FOR FOOD
CHALLENGE
Growing sufficient biomass to feed the livestock
keeping in mind the limited land resources and
the need to produce more food to solve global
hunger is a challenge.

BY 2050CHALLENGE
Meeting both global and regional energy demand
will be a challenge
FUELLiquid fuels are essential and will remain so for the
development of the country
Biofuels are the best alternative to fossil fuels and
use solar energy efficiency

THE HURDLESCARCITY OF TWO VITAL NATURAL RESOURCES: FRESH WATER AND LAND
SUITABLE FOR AGRICULTURE
TRADE-OFF IN LAND USE
The per capita land available is one of the lowest in India
The food vs. fuel debate is not an easy one

FRESH WATER SCARCITY IN INDIA
Only 0.4% of the world’s fresh water is available for human consumption
India’s huge and growing population is putting a severe strain on all of the country’s natural resources
Most water sources are contaminated by sewage and agricultural runoff

THE OPPORTUNITYSHIFT TO OCEAN AGRICULTURE & UTILIZE SEA PLANTS TO PRODUCE VARIED RANGE
OF RENEWABLE PRODUCTS
Ocean agriculture has been in practice in other countries like
Indonesia, however executed on a smaller scale
With a vast coastline and ideal water temperatures for
seaplants, India has a huge potential for ocean agriculture

DISSEMINATION
Novel cultivation technology
to produce and harvest
scalable quantities of biomass
on the ocean surface
New processes for
conversion into a variety of
renewable bio-fertilizers,
fuels and by-products
Improving livelihoods of
coastal and agricultural
communities through
technical expertise
BIOMASS
PRODUCTION
Near shore farming: Structures and technologies to aid
the present farming systems followed by fishermen
Offshore farming: Patented structures to grow biomass
in deeper waters since India's coastline has limited areas
of shallow waters and limits near shore cultivation
Deep sea automation: Proprietary ocean vehicles to farm
on larger scales in deeper waters
Processing technology: Novel techniques for faster
seeding and harvesting to improve productivity of
coastal communities
