It’s already taken root in India’s agricultural market, but now an irrigation distribution company founded by University of Minnesota alumni will use international funding to fertilize its growth.
A panel of development agencies from three countries nominated MyRain last month as one of 17 projects that will receive up to $3 million from an international program aimed at combating global water scarcity.
MyRain sells irrigation systems to retailers, who in turn market them to small-plot farmers in India, CEO and co-founder Steele Lorenz said.
