Hot Issue #1 – Global Hunger

One in nine people worldwide are

chronically undernourished

44 countries have a “serious”

level of hunger, while 8 have an “alarming” level

Globally 161 million under-five

year olds were estimated to be stunted

Every 3,6 second a child dies

because of hunger

ZION

ZION is a mixture of micronutrients captured by natural ion-exchangers (zeolites) as positively or negatively charged ions.

It is not fertilizer! ZION is high concentrated granulated nutritious media for plant

growing. Plant can grow directly on the soil beads.

Historically artificial soil was developed for application in space shuttles, submarines, shelters, arctic stations, etc.

ZION works like complex soil, as aggregate of humus and ion-exchange materials.

ZION key applications

Acceleration of natural soil formation on the moving sands, bare

grounds; remediation of irreversibly depleted soils.

Growing seedlings in horticultures, adaptation of cuttings in vegetation

plant multiplication.

Care of individual gardens, home planting, growing and multiplication of

valuable plants for floral design.

Improvement of the arrangement of grass fields.

1 kg of ZION can produce 3-5 kg of green plant biomass without fertilization and watering only with distilled water and it can be reproduced for several generations of plants.

Mixture of 20 g of ZION

with one liter of clean sand is equivalent in fertility to commercial nutrient grounds

ZION contains no

(for 3-5 years) the fertility of ZION can be reclaimed
