The British company LettUS Grow, which is engaged in the cultivation of vegetables without soil, allocated to scientists for the development of pollination technology 2 million pounds, or about 2.6 million.
Scientists at the University of Bristol began to engage in the project. In their opinion, farms of this type do not need soils saturated with nutrients, since they do not use chemicals and monitor the maintenance of constant climatic conditions around the clock.
On farms with aeroponics, an aerosol is used, which sprays the necessary nutrients on the plant roots, so the root system is saturated.
Direct speech: “These investments provide us with a platform for real acceleration in 2020 and an increase in the supply of our technology to farmers across the country,” said Charlie Guy, co-founder and managing director of LettUs Grow.
In his opinion, an investment in aeroponics will be profitable. Innovators also note a reduction in environmental emissions and minimization of damage from exposure to extreme weather conditions.
Opponents of the startup believe that, although the system has environmental advantages (eliminating pesticides and herbicides), it will not be able to become a full replacement for traditional agriculture.
