Grow vegetables in air. Seriously!

7 minutes past 2 in the night, is the time on my laptop clock. The world is sleeping. Some are dreaming. Some are dreaming but not sleeping. Like me... Tonight, I feel very energised. I feel we are almost on the verge of breaking the shackles that has been holding us back. The week is critical for a few big decisions. By the way, you would have always known that plants grow in soil; some of you may be aware that plants can be grown in just water, called hydroponics. Here is a brain twister for you - plants can be grown in just air too! Yes, I am not bullshitting! It is called aeroponics. New Age Farms in north America has demonstrated the reality of it. Google it and you will see them. NASA has already tested the entire process of growing beans in just air, without gravity, inside the Mir space station and it is critical if man has to settle in Moon or Mars, as none of these places have soil. Think about it. Read about it. Dream of it,if you will. Good morning folks!

Journey of Bhoomi Crop

Journey of Bhoomi Crop
Bhoomi Crop is the first limited liability organised farming and distribution company in Bengal. Four CXO level friends put this together. We have no formal training in the art and science of farming and everyday, I, Kaushik Mukherji, learn a new lesson at the farm. Illiterate farmers in the villages, the closeby IIT (Kharagpur) are my teachers and supporters. We are extremely bullish on this business opportunity, which is already making a social difference too.
