The Future Farmers - Aeroponics
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Technology
The founders of Aeroroots Pvt. Ltd. are now on a quest to realise their shared vision of a pesticide-free tomorrow where the food will not be covered in harmful chemicals.
Through innovation and out of the box thinking, they are pioneering a new way to farm vegetables and herbs with less than one tenth the water and no more than nine percent of the farmland required by traditional agriculture to grow the same quantity of produce.
Aeroroots employs a revolutionary new system of growing plants called Aeroponics. In this system, the roots of the plants are suspended in the air and are provided with all necessary water and food through a cloud of nutrient solution. The nutrient cloud is created by using ultrafine mist nozzles and a high-pressure pump carefully timed to turn on at predetermined intervals.
