Vertical aeroponic food growing systems

摘要

Aponic, a company based in Suffolk, has spent the last four years developing a vertical, soil-less growing system that uses 90% less water than traditional agriculture. The system runs on rain water and solar power, does not emit harmful run-off into the environment and massively reduces the need for fossil fuels in food production. Aponic has picked up a number of awards for this invention, which is being trialled by companies and governments around the world. During the summer, Aponic was included in the East Anglian Daily Times's Future 50 and was named in the Small Business Saturday Top 100 in the Guardian.
