Renaissance of Raised Bed and Furrow as Soil Nano Tech for Producing Global Food Sufficiency for Accomplishing Sustainable Development Goal

Abstract

Purpose: Soil and land productivity were getting stagnated due to lack of plant nutrient sufficiency and suitable seed/planting bed formation, which provides suitable soil built environment, as habitat support to plants. Foresight of huge food production demand in the South East Asian Countries, developed countries viz U.S.A and Australia launched countrywide projects on raised beds and furrows (RBF), which produced good effects, but also showed limitations leading to no adoption of important agriculture practice by farmers. Methods: Present research develop with envisioned scientific insight a new RBF the most satisfying all scientific features, converging seven different aspects of soil cation exchange capacity (EC) and also supported by recent supporting innovation, in a fixed module, feasible for formation and plausible adoption by farmers. This new nano technology, which also acts as auto draining and having high resilience to climate change. Was designated as Nano RBF (N-RBF. Results: The N-RBF overcomes all past limitations and fulfilled with proving qualities different aspects of plant nutrients. Field experimental results on crop performance and enhanced yields produced almost three fold more yields than those harvested by nonparticipating farmers in vicinity of the experiment. Thus, the N-RBF is the best in domain of enhancing soil productivity by building plant nutrients. Conclusions: The N RBF proved directly fulfilling aspects of almost by 71 % and positively supports remaining by 29 %, to go long way in fulfilling the sustainable development goal of Un Mission 2030. Thus, this research culminated in bringing nano-tech practice on soil productivity that becomes means to support food and many other developments for global gentry.
