Our Technology
Bubble Tech Greenhouses
Proprietary soap bubble insulation fills the cavity between dual-membrane walls, providing dynamic climate control that adapts throughout the day. Cooling in summer, insulating in winter — using 80% less energy than conventional greenhouses.
Automated Aeroponics
Roots suspended in air receive nutrient-rich mist, maximizing oxygen exposure and nutrient uptake. This eliminates soil-borne diseases and enables precise control over growing conditions with 90% less water.
