Your Ag | Food | Water startup idea in 54 hours hours

Experts predict that we will need to double global food production over the next 35 years while land, energy and water resources are being quickly depleted, risking sustainability and threatening global food security.  In Lebanon, water demand is rapidly increasing, while only 8% of wastewater is treated. The world is looking for innovative solutions to sustainability challenges in the agriculture, food and water sectors.
