This is quite a unique self-driven system taking advantage of natural physical phenomena

NATUREDYNE INC. of Tokyo, Japan, will launch worldwide on March 15, 2021, a mobile-type micro-farming system, named ’SoBiC’ (an acronym of Solar pneumatic Bio-Cycle), that works without using any electronic or mechanical devices. This is quite a unique self-driven system taking advantage of natural physical phenomena, such as changes in atmospheric temperature and air pressure caused by solar heat. Such natural power activates an autonomous water-circulating pumping mechanism of the system, maintaining well-conditioned soil by nature’s balancing function, and consequently plants grow faster and bigger in healthy conditions.

The 21st century will be called ’the virus century’ as it has witnessed many contagious illnesses such as SARS/MERS/bird flu/swine fever/new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) since around 2000. Because the present society has been built on the sacrifice of nature such as environmental destruction and pollution, mere campaigning like the call for SDGs and reduction in CO2 emissions is meaningless for natural recovery.

However, SoBiC can reduce anxieties over the stable food supply, to say the least. And if SoBiC spreads globally, increased food production and CO2 absorption will proceed at the same time, creating healthy new industries on huge food demand and expand employment accordingly as well. This exactly achieves two or three things simultaneously. It is also possible to create such a ’chain of virtuous circles’, making it possible to rebuild a prosperous and sustainable society without difficulty.
