Aerooonic Food: A Suoer Food?

摘要

Could aeroponic food be more nutritious than food grown by other methods? Research performed by founder of AgriHouse, Richard Stoner, in conjunction with NASA in the late '90s seems to indicate that it is. In 1998, NASA held a series of experiments comparing aeroponic systems with other growing systems. One experiment involved a comparison of the final product. When lettuce nutrient films were compared, the results showed that the aeroponic lettuce had an 80-percent increase in dry weight biomass persquare meter over the other methods while using 75 percent less nutrients and water.
