Urbor integrates nature-based methods with cutting-edge technology for comprehensive land restoration and sustainable agriculture.
Urbor pioneers intelligent, sustainable solutions to combat soil salinity, transforming barren lands into thriving farms and securing futures for communities in Bangladesh.
Explore Our InnovationsA critical challenge degrading agricultural lands and impacting livelihoods across coastal Bangladesh.
A significant portion of Bangladesh's fertile land is under threat from rising salinity.
Over a million hectares in coastal areas already suffer from salt contamination, reducing yield.
Climate change and land degradation are forcing a majority of climate migrants, who are farmers, to relocate.
Women in these regions are disproportionately affected, facing increased financial and social insecurity.
We employ native hyperaccumulator plants, "Hatishur" and "Kalai Grass," to naturally draw out and remove excess salt from affected soil. This eco-friendly phytoremediation process typically spans four weeks, after which the treated topsoil is enhanced with organic manure and dried green moss to create a fertile foundation for crops.
Our advanced spatial intelligence platform utilizes satellite imagery and environmental data to forecast geographical salt intrusion patterns on a day-by-day timescale. This predictive capability allows for proactive land management strategies, optimizing remediation efforts and resource allocation to mitigate salinity risks effectively.
The remediated soil, guided by insights from our predictive platform, is then used in innovative vertical farming systems. These structures, built from sustainable and locally-sourced bamboo, maximize land efficiency, significantly reduce water consumption, and enable diverse crop cultivation in areas with limited space, promoting a resilient agricultural future.
