Aeroponics Farming
While you are
watching these extraordinary images, be aware about the fact as follows:
After 26 days
from seed germination, the total plant material that has been grown in Aeroponic
was 3 times greater that grown in Soil-culture and was 2 times bigger
than grown in Hydroponics-culture.
Only
2.5% of the planet's water is made up of freshwater supplies, 70% of which is
locked into polar ice caps. Just 0.5% of the planet's
freshwater supplies can be used by man. So, using Shira's fogging technology helps saving
freshwater supplies.
The
French magazine LePua had published an article by the
name of "The Human Bomb" gives data that is showing us as follows:
We
are being close to 9 billion people on earth, and we need to feed them. Today
the worldwide population growing rate is 150 million per year.
In
the year 1900 the population was 1.6 billion people; in 1927 it crossed the 2
billion line; in 1960 it crossed the 3 billion line; in 1974 it crossed the 4
billion line; in 1987 it crossed the 5 billion line; in 1999 it crossed the 6
billion line and in 2011 it will cross the 7 billion line and in the 2050 year
it will be anticipated of 9 billion size worldwide population.
How
to feed so big population?
We
also can find some data about the aging of people shows that in Japan there is
a 23% of the population that is above 65 years old; in France 17% are above 65
years old people; in the USA there are 13% above 65 years old population; in
China 8% of the population is above 65 years old.
Additional
data can be found shows that for producing
More
data shows that in the year 1950 1 of 10 people on the planet were from Africa;
in the year 2009 1 of 7 African people were on the planet; in the year 2050 1
of 5 people will be African and in the year 2100 the African population will be
25% of the world population.
To
overcome the above said size of population feeding, the Aeroponics farming food
will be the right technological answer which will be developed on Shira
Aeroponics Technologies.

Title:
SYSTEM FOR GERMINATION, PROPAGATION AND GROWING PLANTS IN ULTRASONIC-FOG
CONDITIONS (AEROPONICS)
Abstract:
An apparatus for aeroponically growing plants, having a housing including a partitition defining an upper compartment and a lower
compartment, the partitition including means of
supporting a plurality of plants. The apparatus comprises a fog generator
including a container for receiving a quantity of water, and a
ultrasonic transducer located within the container to be immeresed
in the water when received therein, and thereby to generate a fog in the upper
end of the container. All having conduit means to direct the generated fog to
the compartments of the housing.
