What you always dreamed of asking and nobody answered.
We do.
WHAT IS
AEROPONICS
FARMING?
AEROponics is a soilless growing technique where the roots are not submerged or in the soil: they are in the air. The plant is nourished by being sprayed only with the water and nutrients that it needs, with NO-icides. Is always done in semi or enclosed environments and the structure is: above a light source that gives direct light to the crops, then a structure or support that holds them, below the roots in the air, and underneath it all, a sprinkler of water and nutrients.
WHY WAS
AEROPONICS
INVENTED?
Global warming and climate change pose huge threats to the traditional cultivation of plants. AEROponics is a solution to the problems of traditional cultivation, especially in the countries that lack clean water, or arable soil. It is an effective method for what is called urban agriculture and is encouraged by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the United Nations.
Additionally, AEROponics is a year-long cultivation method, enabling the hiring of full-time employees.
WHAT ARE THE AEROPONICS
BENEFITS?
To make a general comparison with HYDROponics and open field farming: AEROponics uses less water; allows for control and adaptability; precise and easier to harvest; better quality; consistency and security of produce; year-round production; high level of automation; no cross-contamination risks; no stagnation or splashing of water, and more!
WHY INSTALLING
THE AEROPONICS
GREENOVA SYSTEM?
Our system is a unique, patented mobile AEROponics system. That means that the crop modules move as the plants grow, unlike traditional AEROponics system where production tables are static.
Our system could be compared to an industrial production line where raw materials are input at the start of the line and the finished product can be harvested at the end. That enables having a very ergonomic workplace without a whole lot of automation.
WHY VERTICAL FARMING FAILS?
FOR YOU?
Our research has proven that we can be even more environmentally friendly by providing a horizontal farming, since we use as much light from the sun as we can. By keeping our products on one level, we do not need to use as much artificial lighting as vertical farming would, and so we save a much more energy and electricity.
CAN I INSTALL AN AEROPONICS
SYSTEM ON A ROOF?
Yes, it can but bear in mind that it needs to be indoors (under a Greenhouse or a glass roof for instance) to control the climatic conditions.
CAN I MAKE AN AEROPONICS TOWER IN MY GARDEN?
In general, our current system is designed for industrial-size installations. In the case of installing our system, it would not be in the form of a tower, since we do not do vertical farming.
Would you like us to design other solution for that? Let us know!
IS AEROPONICS EFFECTIVE IN ANY CLIMATE?
Yes! Thanks to its unique design, durability and structure, the Greenhouses and equipment can be set-up almost anywhere in the world.
WHAT KIND OF LAND IS NEEDED TO INSTALL AEROPONICS?
Our systems do not need to be placed on arable land. This frees up land for crops that need to grow open fields.
Since we are not only soilless but also pesticide and chlorine free, the water does not run into the land and surrounding water sources, therefore, eutrophication is avoided.
HOW CAN SUCH YIELDS BE ACHIEVED?
Plants grow in our system in perfect conditions, without any stress for nutrients, water nor oxygen restriction. Therefore, they can develop as they please, all year long.
Our engineers and agronomists spent days and days criss-crossing data for the ideal spacing between plants to ensure proper plant development while maximizing the density. It's all about blending our capabilities engineering and our agronomical expertise!
ARE PRODUCTS GROWN WITH THE GREENOVA SYSTEM ORGANIC?
In most countries, the production from CleanGreens system cannot be called organic because it is a soilless cultivation mode.
However, produce can be grown from organic seeds, without any pesticides, herbicides, nor insecticides. From this angle, it is equivalent to organic cultivation production recommendations
and quality.
ARE THERE ANY CHEMICAL
PRODUCTS ADDED?
No additional chemical component is required and plants grow with zero pesticides, herbicides or insecticides thus ensuring zero residue.
Did you know that we have a
customers Help Desk?
It is a space for knowledge exchange and continuous improvement between the customers and us. If you grow, we grow.
That's why we developed this platform to share your ideas or problems through a ticket system, and also have easy access to valuable documentation on topics like agronomy, GREENOVA system and GURU App.
For us, customer service is everything.
