A city-based start-up Trestor on Thursday said it will promote urban organic farming and community intranet as part its plans to promote community initiatives.
“Trestor has embarked on two community-driven initiatives aimed at promoting urban organic farming and community intranet, for which the company will provide all the necessary infrastructure and technical support. To get going, all one needs is a smart phone, on which one can download the mobile application developed by the company,” Trestor founder Kunal Dixit said here.
Under community—driven organic farming, Trestor will provide communities 10 ft by 5 ft organic gardens, where they can grow fresh, healthy and cancer-free food.
With its unique crop sensor technology, community members in households need not devote more than 15 minutes a day to tending to their crop. Harvesting the produce at its peak is an added advantage, he said claiming that an area of one sq m is all you need to produce 20 kg of food a year. -- PTI
