The Globalponicsmission is to eradicate food insecurity globally with locally owned and run hydroponic farms, feeding the people who need it most, wherever they are. Our strategy is to bring hydroponic greenhouse design and installation to scale globally with regionally designed prototypes and hands-on training for communities to grow their own food.
Last year’sState of Food Security and Nutrition in the Worldreport found that up to733 million people globally suffered from malnutrition in 2023, an increase of 152 million since 2019. This sharp rise underscores the escalating crisis of hunger and food insecurity worldwide. The same report concluded that rising food prices and income inequality have led to2.8 billion people being unable to afford a healthy diet in 2022, contributing to what is termed as “hidden hunger.”
Food insecurity and world hunger can not be separated from global warming. In 2024,the hottest year on record, the world witnessed record-breaking heat, catastrophic droughts, and severe flooding events. These climate-related disasters have caused devastating impacts on agricultural production, displacing millions and leaving millions more facing acute food shortages. For example, maize production in Southern Africa fell by over 50% during a severe drought, leaving 30 million people without reliable food sources. These challenges are not isolated incidents but part of a growing trend, as climate change heightens vulnerabilities in traditional farming systems. Without bold investments and policies, the World Food Security Outlook projections indicate that more than950 million peoplecould remain at risk of facing severe food insecurity by 2030
Hydroponic farming uses over 98% less water and 99% less land, doesn’t require arable land at all, and the yields have a higher nutritional value than conventional farming- to note a few of the manybenefits to hydroponics
