Sustainability Makes the Difference
Our Mission:
Irrigation Technologies (IT), is a global wholesale DRI distributor, whose mission is to bring awareness to the agricultural community that there is a better and more efficient way to use one of our planet’s most precious resources. We seek to bring sustainability methods to the forefront of the agricultural industry - which uses over 70% of our planets fresh water supply.
The goal of IT and DRI is to work with like-minded organizations, companies, farm co-ops, and individual family growers who are interested in improving our environment by integrating new solutions in reducing our water and energy footprints to create meaningful change in the way agricultural irrigation is done.
By making these changes, the products that are grown not only provide a higher consistent yield but also provide higher profits to the farmer. At the same time these changes make the world a better place through real sustainable change and awareness of how we use our planet’s fresh water supply. We believe that the use of DRI in conjunction with traditional drip irrigation will have a major impact on this vision.
How? Strategic Irrigation:
Strategic Irrigation is the key to an ever-growing movement called smart farming and precision agriculture. Today, with site-specific management tools like GPS and yield monitors, farmers can more accurately monitor all the factors affecting their crops. Specialized equipment can adjust fertilizer and water usage based on the needs of the soil and crop, even in a specific portion of a field. Fertilizer and water usage are now being precisely dialed in. This type of technology is ensuring less waste than ever before and the use of DRI is helping the efforts in these new smart farming practices.
When? The Time is Now:
With global weather changes, water scarcity, the depleting water table, worldwide droughts, rising population and the increased demand for valued agricultural products; fresh water has become the new gold.
“As the world’s populations continue to grow, the demand for food and fresh water will continue to increase. In order to develop sustainable farming practices, it is vitally important that technologies like DRI become the standard for future agricultural pursuits”. DRI inventor Jeff Ciudaj,
