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.
A
general data publication indicates as follows:
At
the 1st Christian calendar, the world population was 200 million
people.
At
1804 the population size crossed the 1 billion line.
At 1927 the population line crossed the 2 billion line.
At
1959 the population line crossed the 3 billion line.
At
1974 the population line crossed the 4 billion line.
At
1987 the population line crossed the 5 billion line.
At
1999 the population line crossed the 6 billion line.
At
2011 the population line crossed the 7 billion line.
The
French magazine LePua had published years ago 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
partition defining an upper compartment and a lower compartment, the partition
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
immersed 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.
