Essential Energy Solutions, through its trade name, Geofield Systems, is seeking to collaborate with Jamaica to use technology that neutralizes the effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the environment, which stunts the growth of crops. Geofield’s pioneering technology will therefore boost crop production by eliminating EMR.
