Sustainable Agro Team
We were pulled into agriculture five years ago while working in the Middle East and we formed an Agro team of scientists, engineers and practitioners focused on Sustainable Agriculture to increase crop yield and reduce costs.
Our goal is to enhance traditional agriculture with new irrigation methods, new soil and water treatments and new ways to use fertigation.
Our team of professionals each has over 25 years of experience like Bill Nolde. Bill is an agronomist, an arborist, and has been a golf course superintendent and a professor teaching horticulture at a California university.
Dale Winchester, our irrigation designer, has designed irrigation for over 45 years and has worked on some of the top golf course designs in the world. He has worked closely with me to rethink irrigation for agriculture.
We are designing crops and greenhouses with dual irrigation systems to promote high yields for large row crops close to hydroponic house production.
Tarek Hanafy is our engineer and agronomist from Egypt. I met him while working in Kuwait on large greenhouse projects. Tarek is brilliant, experienced and passionate about designing growing systems and growing plants.
Our team includes many more professionals covering biology, soils, water and project management.
We are involved in projects around the world. One project is a 60,000 acre project in Turkey to restore damaged agriculture land from over farming and contaminated. We have several others pending in the Middle East and Eurasia.
We have suppliers also on our team – greenhouse, probiotic nutrients, irrigation suppliers and water treatment systems.
Like the old TV Western show – Have Gun Will Travel….. We are traveling to Help and Share the values of Sustainable Agriculture.
