Green Legacy and its commitment to water efficiency
As a sponsor of the book, Green Legacy reinforces its commitment to agricultural sustainability through innovative solutions that optimize water use in horticulture. In this edition, the company intends to contribute to the sector through a technical article on the use of hydraulics, this innovative technology allows better water retention in the soil and reduces the impact of hydraulic stress on crops.
Hydrogels: a key technology for sustainable agriculture
Hydrogels are superabsorbent polymers with the ability to retain large amounts of water and nutrients, releasing them gradually according to plant needs. This characteristic makes them an essential tool for improving hydraulic efficiency, especially in dry and semi-dry areas where access to water is limited. Their use makes it possible to reduce irrigation frequency, reduce nutrient extraction and improve soil structure by increasing its porosity.

Since their development in the late 20th century, hydrogels have evolved significantly, incorporating more efficient and biodegradable formulations that minimize their environmental impact. Thanks to this innovation, farmers can optimize the use of water resources and improve crop yields without compromising the sustainability of the ecological system.
With initiatives such as this one, Green Legacy continues to position itself as a benchmark in the implementation of sustainable technologies for the agri-food sector, confirming its commitment to a more efficient and environmentally friendly future.
