Cellulose-based, atmospheric water harvesting agricultural mulch for water scarce regions

Dry Soil, Hot Weather

Agriculture consumes roughly 70% of all global freshwater withdrawals, a demand expected to increase to support growing populations. Our Meta-Mulch targets water scarce areas with high morning humidity year round, such as California and Texas, trapping atmospheric water for all day use.
