A way to cut down on the use of chemicals in farming.
The UN says that 33% of the world’s food is wasted during storage, processing, and transportation, which costs €800 billion a year. Also, every year, 1 in 10 people get sick from eating contaminated food, which kills 420 000 people. Boxilumix wants to give small, medium, and large food retailers an alternative to traditional farming that is profitable, good for the environment, and can be done in a sustainable way. The Solution uses specific LED lighting techniques at different wavelengths to improve the stages of plant growth, health, and nutrition, as well as to extend the shelf life of plants and make them healthier. The main areas of use are in farming, retail, and smart logistics. Boxilumix systems increase crop yield by 15–20% and improve the quality of the crops at the same time. When carrots are treated with Boxilumix 30s on the day they are picked, their shelf life goes from 4 days in a dark, cool place to 28 days. After treatment, lettuce grown on a farm field will have 16% more mass. The solution also helps cut the amount of fertilizer used from 20% to 2%.
