Japan will assist Ukraine in restoring and increasing the fertility of Ukrainian agricultural land by introducing a promising nanobubble technology to saturate soils with oxygen, the State Agency of Ukraine for the Development of Land Reclamation, Fisheries and Food Programs reports.
The prospects for cooperation were discussed at a working meeting of the Head of the State Agency Vladyslav Nevesely and First Deputy Head Taras Kot with representatives of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Kakuichi on February 5.
“My previous experience with JICA has been extremely successful, as they are a team of energetic and dedicated professionals. Your interest in restoring agricultural land in Ukraine is extremely important to us, and I am confident that through synergy we will be able to achieve positive results quickly,” said Nevesely.
Currently, Kakuichi, one of the leading manufacturers of nanobubble systems, has donated three nanobubble generators to Ukraine as part of a pilot project, which are to be installed in Kyiv, Odesa and Poltava regions by the end of the month to test their effectiveness on Ukrainian farmland. Each generator can provide irrigation for about 1 hectare of land.
“The uniqueness of this technology lies in the fact that it allows us to abandon the use of chemical fertilizers. Instead, it uses an environmentally friendly approach that improves water quality and maximizes the use of nutrients contained in the soil. Water enriched with nanobubbles stimulates the natural growth of plants and helps to restore the soil,” the statement said.
It is emphasized that this technology can be especially important for the restoration of land damaged by Russian aggression.
The process of Greenland’s independence from Denmark should be accelerated and the people of Greenland should be heard in a referendum during the next election, Greenland’s ruling Siumut party chairman Erik Jensen said.
“We want to achieve this (independence). That is our ambition. But of course it has to be in close cooperation with the people of Greenland. And that is very important. So that everyone has no doubts about what to vote for,” Jensen told Danish Radio.
The party has reportedly been divided in recent weeks after some of its members demanded the activation of Section 21 of the Self-Government Act, which outlines the path to Greenland’s independence. That initiative has now been backed by Jensen.
The party had previously cited that the commission was exploring a legal path to statehood, but Jensen said he would simultaneously activate Article 21 and begin talks with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. “We have the work of the commission. We can also do something in parallel, we can activate Article 21 and start talks with the Danish government. This is what we will campaign on,” he said.
The chairman of Greenland’s ruling party is confident that the activation of Article 21 and negotiations with Denmark should lead to a referendum in Greenland, and it will not take long.
He cited decolonization and equality among his motives for declaring independence. “We want to be all treated equally. We haven’t had that for many years. We have many of our fellow citizens in Greenland who have been treated unequally. We want to be decolonized,” Jensen said.
As reported, the Prime Minister of Greenland – a self-governing territory of Denmark – Muthe Egede called for a vote in the Greenlandic Parliament on March 11.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump repeatedly expressed territorial claims to Greenland. In response, the Danish government announced its intention to strengthen its military presence in the Arctic and North Atlantic by purchasing three new ships for the waters around Greenland, long-range drones and satellites at a cost of almost 2 billion euros. Earlier Experts Club think tank, Brian Mefford and Maxim Urakin released a video analysis on what changes are in store for US domestic and foreign policy under Trump, the video is available on Experts Club’s YouTube channel – https://youtu.be/W2elNY1xczM?si=MM-QjSqGce4Tlq6T.
