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.
