Shunya Agritech and ICAR-IIMR Partner on Fodder Research
Imagine farmers have a hard time getting enough fresh, green food for their cows.
Shunya Agritech has teamed up with a research institute to solve this.
They make special food for cows using a system called hydroponics, which needs very little water and works all year.
Farmers can sign up to get this food delivered right to them.
They can also use a phone app to order, see where their food is, and get help if they need it.
This team-up is trying to make it easier and better for farmers to feed their cows and get more milk.
Shunya Agritech partners with ICAR-IIMR for hydroponic maize fodder research.
The partnership aims to improve livestock nutrition and dairy productivity.
Shunya uses a subscription model to deliver fresh green fodder year-round.
Farmers can use Shunya's digital platform for orders, tracking, and support.
The collaboration seeks to modernize India's fodder ecosystem using hydroponic maize.
