 Huge efforts go toward finding new solutions to increasing plant yield when all too often the increased yield will do little more than cover the development cost. Far too common, the more sophisticated the technology, or the more high-tech the know how, the less likely it is to be of use where it is really needed. Increased technology usually amounts to increased in capital cost and requires an increased level of expertise to maintain and service. Yet the parts of the world where increased food production is a matter of life and death, all too often do not even have the capacity to supply electricity, much less to afford it!

This is where the Autopot technology excels. It is so simple and yet so effective in solving the food production problems around the world.

Where water is scarce, the Autopot Systems is so efficient in terms of water usage that there is absolutely no wastage.

Where there is no electricity, the Autopot Systems fits in nicely as it will work perfectly by gravitational flow to automate the system. If pumping is an option, the amount of energy required is so small that a single car battery powered by the sun would be sufficient to produce 25tons of tomatoes annually!

Where the soil is poor, the Autopot Systems would have no problems producing good crops out of pure sand or gravels.

Where there is lack of intellects, the Autopot Systemss is so user friendly that even a child can operate the system successfully.

What about different crops? No problems, we are yet to find a plant that would not thrive in the Autopot Systems. We have great successes with plant varieties ranging from tomatoes to lettuces, orchids and even cacti will grow happily next to a tomato plant in the same Autopot outfit.

Really, what we have discovered so far with the Autopot Systems is only the tip of the iceberg. Its fullest potential are yet to be realized. It could well be the future for feeding the hungry around the world.
