At NeuponicsAI we believe the solution to a global food crisis is the widespread implementation of non-traditional agricultural techniques, such as aeroponics that use less water and do not require the need for fertile soil.

Climate change is causing increasingly severe weather conditions and droughts that are making it difficult for farmers to produce enough food using traditional methods. This is creating a food security crisis that is expected to get much worse over the next 30 years. Forty percent of human land use is for agricultural purposes, and 70 percent of the freshwater we consume is used to grow crops. Society must rapidly adopt new agriculture technology that addresses the effects of climate change on a large scale to avoid widespread famine.

Several companies have attempted to create effective aeroponics systems. They utilize inferior technology, usually based on a modified lawn-sprinkler system to distribute water and nutrients to the roots suspended in air. Those systems may be more water-efficient than hydroponics. However, because they are not capable of out-producing top hydroponics systems and are notorious for reliability issues most growers have avoided them. Yet, aeroponics is used in some commercial agriculture operations around the globe to generally produce leafy greens such as lettuce and basil. Most controlled environment agriculture companies are using hydroponics cultivation methods.
