New algae system helps Arizona farmers grow better crops with less water

New algae system helps Arizona farmers grow better crops with less water

A soil project that will enable farmers to grow more high-quality crops but do so with less use of water is making progress with the help of Enrique Vivoni, a Fulton Schools Professor of Hydrosystems Engineering in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment and the director of the Center for Hydrologic Innovations. The project’s overall goal is to provide access to a nature-based soil health technology across thousands of acres of Arizona’s commercial farmland that would enhance water efficiency, reduce water consumption and improve the quality of water used for agriculture. ASU’s Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems is involved in the project. The article is also posted on News Wise and Farms.com.
