The Bengaluru-based KisanKraft intends
to take the ‘aerobic rice’ technology
to five states during
this Kharif season and
conduct demonstrations to reach out to more farmers. The aerobic rice technology is a solution for water-stressed

national food security. As against up to 5,000 litres of water
required to produce one kg of wetland rice, the aerobic rice requires only up
to 2,500 litres. This would save more than 60 per cent in
water and 55 per cent in labour. Except the Himalayas, the coastal areas and
the hilly areas (with excess water), the rest of the country can grow aerobic
rice. Black cotton soil and lowlands in submerged water conditions are
unsuitable.
