Our Fight against World Hunger

Solving world hunger requires a multifaceted approach that addresses both immediate needs and long-term solutions. First, improving agricultural productivity through sustainable farming practices can ensure a stable food supply. This includes investing in technology and education for future farmers. Our decades-long development into aeroponics technology has been guided specifically by this approach:

  1. Our AEtrium systems use only a fraction of the resources used in traditional agriculture, with up to a 95% water savings with our water recirculation systems.

  2. AEtrium systems are scalable and stackable; dramatically increasing the surface area available for food growth, maximizing limited growth space.

  3. They are readily made for education; we have provided our machines for universities and schools across the country to teach students the fundamentals of agriculture.

  4. The software, sensors, and control suite in our AEtrium systems take efficiency a step further by only using what is needed to sustain nutritious growth. The correct amount of light, the perfect nutrient dosage, the irrigation timing - all of these are meticulously monitored, saved, and analyzed for efficiency.

  5. Clean environments mean clean food - our systems are soil-free, reducing overhead and potential pest vectors. This leads to cleaner, safe, and nutritious food.

Additionally, reducing food waste at all stages—from production to consumption—can make a significant impact. Strengthening social safety nets and providing direct food assistance to those in need can address immediate hunger. By fostering global cooperation and commitment, we can work towards a world where everyone has access to sufficient, nutritious food.
