Innovations and new programs to promote usage of lawn and garden consumables

The world is moving toward eco-friendly practices and utilization of organic products for lawns and gardening. The lawn and garden consumables such as seeds, fertilizers, and others have been playing crucial part in reducing emission of greenhouse gases and ensuring healthy food. Innovations such as fertilizer calculators have been coming forward to ensure proper percentage of minerals and fertilizers are mixed to lower down environmental pollutions and improve crop health. Moreover, government organizations and companies have been launching programs to promote the usage of organic fertilizers and improve nutrition value in customers and children. These innovations and programs would encourage the usage of eco-friendly and healthy lawn and garden consumables. According to the report published by Allied Market Research, the lawn and garden consumables market is estimated to generate $26.3 billion by 2030. Following are some of the activities taking place across the world.

Innovations know no bounds and when it comes to utilizing fertilizers in gardening, a calculator would help in mitigating the impact on environment. A Dutch company named Biota Nutri developed a calculator that would calculate the amount of fertilizers used by growers and help them in setting up fertilization schedules. Regardless of the brand of the fertilizers used, the calculator would calculate the amount of water-soluble fertilizers.

As the standard calculators have been used by growers to determine the amount of fertilizers used for plants and crops, the replacement of those calculators with this calculator would assists them in reducing the emissions of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases by using fertilizers minimally. Moreover, suppliers give their own calculators. This is applicable only to their brands. However, the Biota Nutri calculator can be used for fertilizers from any brand. The company also recommends the usage of organic fertilizers. The calculator enables growers in mixing the suitable amount of minerals and organic fertilizers for healthy production and growth. Moreover, it contributes toward lowering the environmental impact. Such innovations would help in making gardens more environment friendly than before.

Governments have been conducting various awareness programs to encourage nutritional gardening. The Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVK) and the Arunachal State Rural Livelihood Mission (ArSRLM) in India carried out campaigns that would spread awareness regarding gaining a good supply of nutrition with the help of home grown fruits and vegetables. In addition, companies have been conducting such programs to educate parents and children about growing plants at homes. Burgerville joined hands with Culinary Breeding Network to launch a program named Seedlings. Along with inspiring children to grow plants at home by offering seeds in kid’s meals, these companies also aim to support seed growers and breeders. They have been instrumental in spreading awareness regarding significance of seeds and its impact on the food system. They also shared the stories of local growers and breeders. The current lineup by the company includes ‘Outredgeous’ Lettuce, ‘Cascadia’ Snap Pea, and ‘Purple Karma’ Barley. In addition to these products, the companies also launched an app to reward people for purchases and implement a loyalty program.
