Protecting water is very important. Water conservation technology is at the core of the FodderTech designs which uses a RE-CIRCULATING watering system. Farming is under increased pressure from Governments and Environmental Advocacy Groups to reduce water usage. FodderTech sprouting systems grow 2000 lbs of sprouts with just 200 gallons of water used per day. That’s as much as 98% less water than irrigated agriculture used to grow the same amount of feed.

99% Less Land

FodderTech sprouting systems use compact, vertical farming methods. Vertical systems are the key to high volume production of fresh fodder in a small footprint. Commercial systems can produce as much as 600 lbs of fresh feed per sq. foot of land per year. This equates to tremendous savings in land needed for feed production. Users report that a 1 ton per day system is equivalent to 150 – 300 acres of good pasture.

Up to 70% Carbon Footprint Reduction

Energy efficient FodderTech systems reduce the need for equipment and fuel used to plant, harvest, transport, and store animal feed. The sprouts are grown indoors year round in highly specialized growing equipment that uses fewer fertilizers, no pesticides, and can be organically approved.

Promote Sustainable Agriculture

High quality agricultural lands worldwide are shrinking quickly due to development, population expansion, and overuse. FodderTech’s energy, land, and waterwise designs offer sustainable, intensive agriculture that can help feed the growing population.

All Natural, Organic, and Grass-Fed
