In addition to all these improvements, fogponic watering has a
very special effect to the roots - explosive hair root growth, a
maximized oxygen uptake, and a faster metabolism. Indeed,
the first findings about fogponic growth of strawberries by
Michio Kanechi in Kobe University in Japan, where the reason
that our founder Martin Peter started to be interested -
actually amazed - by the potential of fogponics for indoor
farming.
The first findings showed exceptional results: A three times
higher fruit count on strawberries at the same time as a 25 %
higher sugar content!
So far we can only confirm these results in all other plants we
tested, including a variety of leafy greens and even tobacco.
The quality of the plants is exceptional, especially concerning
the roots. Kanechi, M., Hikosaka, Y., Fukuda, C., & Uno, Y. (2017). Ever-bearing strawberry culture using a

1. Fogponics
ultrasonic, efficient and water saving - fogponics allows new farms to operate on levels never seen before
4. Smarter Material choices - Textiles!
By employing fog as an irrigation method we can avoid many problems of usual farming system - Mainly we don't need to carry a lot of heavy loads any more and can benefit from the possibility to employ lighter structures and concepts
12. GMP - Cleanroom Growing
Through proper cleanroom growing conditions, plants can become a vital source to replace current medical production systems and even open up completely new pathways
13. Internet of Things
Internet of Things (IoT) connects our farms digitally and enables remote supervision, control and data logging
14. Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables our farms to learn from experience, making them capable of performing tasks that could even surpass human intelligence.
