ASU, MyLand use algae system to boost crops and conserve water
Aug. 19
ASU and MyLand, a Phoenix-based soil health company, collaborated to demonstrate how a new algae system could help Arizona farmers cultivate healthier crops with reduced water usage.
Kathleen Merrigan, Executive Director at the Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems, ASU, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about this new algae system.
The system works by using live, native micro algae to improve the soil so farmers are able to be more efficient with their water usage. The system can also have a reduced environmental impact, potentially paving the way for the future of farming.
