General information about the project and ICO:
The aim of the project is to make it possible for everyone to eat organic food and stop pollution of the Earth with chemicals of agriculture, by creating a mass production of ATF equipment for home and industrial year-round plant growing in enclosed spaces using the developed technology of automatic, thrifty growing for consumers around the world. For this, ATF has developed a concept for the creation of a global ecosystem of healthy food in which all users who want to consume or buy products grown by ATF equipment will be united.

Project Description:
ATF devices provide an automatic growth of tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, lettuce, cannabis and many other plants. The ATF technique requires minimal customer involvement during in the process of vegetation and does not require any specific knowledge in the field of agronomy. A specially designed LED lamp not only saves electricity but is also capable of simulating a spectrum close to sunlight, which greatly speeds up the process of photosynthesis in plants. Thanks to the perfectly selected temperature regime for each crop, automatic irrigation with the addition of the necessary nutrient minerals and optimum moisture, the average crop yield of the ATF device is higher than the yield of greenhouse crops and crops grown outdoors. The solution recuperation system and pointwise dosing of the necessary nutrients allow to use all the fertilizers as intended, and the biofilter with bacteria constantly saturates the solution with beneficial bacteria, thus the system is self-sufficient, which helps to reduce the effect on the ecological component of the Earth to zero.
ATF equipment is a unique device designed for the automated cultivation of various types of plants, fruits, vegetables, herbs and cannabis. Unlike other types of manufacturers, the ATF does not require professional agronomical skills or specific knowledge in the field of crop production. All processes associated with photosynthesis are pre-programmed for each type of culture at all stages of growth and are fully automated. Users can easily monitor and notice the growth cycle with their smartphone, computer or tablet, which makes the cultivation almost like a game. Equipment for the purpose is divided into domestic and industrial series.

Market and Industry Review:
In today’s world where everything is powered by the latest cutting-edge technology, farmers are heralding back to age-old practices in agriculture for the greater good of humankind on this planet. This has been necessitated by a new crop of health-conscious consumers increasingly aware about the harmful effects of chemicals and other additives in food, farmers are now heralding back to age-old farming practices to produce what is known as organic food. From the seed to the soil or water and the final product, everything that goes into bringing organic food to the table is natural and free from pesticides, chemicals, and fertilizers.
On account of the antiquated methods used, organic food takes longer to produce and requires more care. As a result, they cost more than other foods that are produced in less amount of time with the use of various chemicals and fertilizers. Consumers who consider health to be of paramount importance, however, do not mind shelling out a little more for organic food products. According to the Transparency Market Research report, the global market for organic food will likely expand at a healthy rate in the coming years, especially in developed regions.
Besides discerning consumers, an important factor driving the growth of the market are concerns about the environment. Pesticides used to thwart pests ranging from bacteria, insects, mites, and mollusks to birds and rodents that not just make their way into the human body but also accumulate in the soil and water. This damages the environment and hence, by consuming inorganic food, humans contribute to environmental degradation.
Organic food, on the other hand, is produced by farmers through reusable resources, limiting the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals in food. They are usually cultivated in small, family-run farms, wherein preservation of the quality of soil and water is of utmost importance so that future generations inherit fertile lands. Farmers also follow crop rotation methods to retain the fertility of the soil. Such form of farming reduces the toxic load on the environment. As a result, governments in many nations are funding organic farming. This, coupled with many private players foraying into the field as well as growing population pressure, has majorly boosted the market so far.
On the basis of geography, the global organic food market can be divided into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and the Rest of World. Among them, Europe has been leading the market with the maximum amount of revenue. Economies in North America are expected to grow at a good clip too due to the substantial purchasing of the large middle-class population there. It is the Rest of the World and the Asia Pacific, however, that are predicted to outpace the two continents in terms of growth rate. Developed countries such as Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, the U.S., and Germany have so far witnessed maximum demand for organically grown food.
