Summary:The Deep Roots project introduces an innovative underground agriculture method to address water scarcity and land degradation under challenging climatic conditions in Turkmenistan. The system focuses on efficient water use through subterranean irrigation and collection of condensed moisture.
The technology allows plants to adapt to extreme heat and low rainfall by delivering water directly to roots and using condensation for irrigation. This method reduces reliance on traditional water sources and makes farming more sustainable and cost-effective.
The project promotes biodiversity by enhancing soil microbial activity, supports better crop productivity, and improves soil structure. It is compatible with agroecological practices and can be applied in different regions, especially those facing climate stress.
The initiative offers a scalable and integrated solution for sustainable land management, resource conservation, and climate adaptation. Future plans include expanding the project to more regions to evaluate its broader application.
