Is there really a cost-effective farming method that can achieve maximum production while minimizing water, labor, and GHG emissions?
My name is Sung-jin Choe, CEO of Green and Seed Corporation. My family has been cultivating rice for generations. When my parents, who were experts in CAD/CAM and bioplastics, took over the family rice business around 2010, they invented an eco-friendly farming called Seed Film Cultivation (SFC). SFC was a direct-seeded rice to omit seedlings, transplants, and weeding using Seedfilms, which are biofilms with attached seeds.
Simply put, my parents, who hated hard work, changed agriculture, a primary industry, into a secondary industry.
However, unfortunately, due to the high cost of biofilm, SFC was not welcomed beyond my family.
By the way, when Chinese corn prices plummeted in 2016, Chinese farmers began growing rice in corn fields, but yields were low due to weeds and lack of moisture. They took SFC to China. Through SFC and drip irrigation, cornfield yielded a great rice harvest, and the results were broadcast on China's CCTV on September 14, 2017.
What's even more surprising was that not only did production increase by 15-20%, but even taking into account precipitation, water usage was only 20% compared to existing paddy fields.
These results are posted on the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences website:
Isn't it amazing?
I founded the company in 2019 to share this innovative technology with humanity facing climate change.
