SMART FARMING TECHS

 Can I ask a quick question?

Are you a young person with a passion for farming? If yes, Do you own land? If No have you heard about Vertical bag farming? If not, then you are in the right place.

If you have never seen a vertical bag, here is a photo of an already installed bag ready for planting.

UCAHAEC  in collaboration with @ Real IPM, wants to make vertical bag farming possible for young people within  Ugenya sub-county.  

Smart farming is the new norm in this era. Young people do not own land or depend on their parents and guardians for land authorization. With vertical bags you do not need land, you want to know why, then here it is.

Vertical Bag farming is a high-yielding food security tech that utilizes vertical spaces to maximize on land and also increase water efficiency. 

"WHAT ARE THESE, AND HOW  DO THEY WORK?" I know that is your next question, so here are the facts.

The vertical bags are durable UV-protected bags, meaning they are resistant to sun and rain. The vertical bags are pre-punched with holes that increase production up to six times per square meter. 

WHY VERTICAL BAGS?

1. You do not need a garden/ land, for farming. therefore No garden, No problem, just suitable for every farmer, especially the urban farmers. You can have the bags installed on your balcony, with zero worries.

2. With a small garden/ piece of land, you will get a big harvest, one bag that occupies a square meter, and can hold up to 100 crops.

3. For young people who do not like getting dirty, with the vertical bags, forget about weeding. Weeds rarely grow on the bags and if they grow, you can simply uproot the weeds out.

4. The bags are also water efficient, water is not lost through evaporation since the soil is not fully exposed to the soil.

5. Here is the best part, these bags can last for like 10  years, they are reusable and not waste.
