Our Technology

AeroFarms is the commercial leader in indoor farming. We grow without sun or soil in a fully-controlled indoor environment. We have optimized our aeroponic growing system for faster harvest cycles, predictable results, superior food safety and less environmental impact.

Smart Aeroponics

We use aeroponics to mist the roots of our greens with nutrients, water, and oxygen. Our aeroponic system is a closed loop system, using 95% less water than field farming, 40% less than hydroponics, and zero pesticides.

Smart Light

We use LED lights to create a specific light recipe for each plant, giving the greens exactly the spectrum, intensity, and frequency they need for photosynthesis in the most energy-efficient way possible.  This engineered lighting allows us to control size, shape, texture, color, flavor, and nutrition with razor-sharp precision and increased productivity.

Smart Nutrition

We are constantly monitoring all of the macro- and micronutrients for our plants to provide them with everything that they need to thrive.  We are able to take the exact same seed from the field and grow it in half the time as a traditional field farmer, leading to 75 times more productivity per square foot than a commercial field farm.

Smart Data

Our plant scientists monitor more than 30,000 data points every harvest. They are constantly reviewing, testing and improving our growing system using predictive analytics to create a superior and consistent result. With remote monitoring and controls in place, we have minimized the typical risks associated with traditional agriculture.

Smart Substrate

We have developed a patented, reusable cloth medium for seeding, germinating, growing, and harvesting. Our growing cloth medium is made out of post-consumer, recycled plastic, each taking 24 water bottles out of the waste stream. The cloth can be fully sanitized after harvest and reseeded with no risk of contamination. Acting as a barrier between the mist and the plants, the cloth allows us to harvest a clean, dry and ready to eat product.

Smart Pest Management

Every aspect of our growing process has been optimized to mitigate pest proliferation with no need for pesticides. In addition to our controlled, indoor environment, our growing methods disrupt the normal life cycle of common indoor pests so that they never get started. With our pest-resistant design, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides are unnecessary.

Smart Scaling

The size and configuration of an AeroFarms system are highly customizable. The systems are comprised of modules that serve as building blocks that can be stacked vertically or lengthwise. This allows us to grow in varied locations and achieve ultimate yield per square foot, no matter the space, with quick installation.

Reasons Digital Markeing Agencies are Booming

"Reasons Digital Marketing Agencies Are Booming" Does it seem to you that online and inbound marketing is moving rather quickly – like nearly light speed? Let’s drift back in time in just one area – social media. Remember the “good old days” back in 2009 when, in terms of a mainstream marketer’s focus, only  Twitter  and  Facebook  really mattered? The number of social media channels to at least consider tracking these days has grown to include  Google+  and  YouTube . Oh, and please include LinkedIn. And add  Pinterest  to the list. Also, Angel List is the Buzzing in the context. As you think about sorting out and prioritizing your company’s social media channels alone, you begin to understand why a little advice or external expertise might be helpful.

"Phenomenal Transformation" The impact of digital economy and e-commerce is no longer a phenomenon restricted to only the developed world.It has been felt and experienced in South East Asia as well. With the spaces between geographies shrinking due to the digital technology and also with nations taking the connectivity to the rural and remote parts of the country, Nepal is experiencing a significant transformation in the consumer buying patterns. As a result no company can afford to ignore these trends irrespective of whether or not it is in the e-commerce space. It is noteworthy to recognise that it is no longer adequate to be reactive or proactive, it is the adaptive capability of the firm that is going to be critical to win the marketing wars. The traditional marketing research and understanding of the consumer behaviour will continue to play an important role in the long range planning but understanding the transactional behaviour pattern of the consumers and ad...

In our article today, I will try to list the  different types of investment avenues available in India  where investors can put in their money. The figure shown below is pretty self-explanatory. However, I will quickly explain the specifics. Denizens can invest broadly into five categories of investments – Equity, Debt, Real Estate, Commodities and Miscellaneous. Please note that though insurance should not be considered an investment avenue, in the Indian context, we still use it as a long-term savings tool – hence the inclusion of insurance below. The figure below explains all the investment options available. Click on the figure to open a bigger size image in a new window.

The risk of investing in equities is high and so the returns are also high. You could dabble in the stock market broadly in three ways. Direc...
