AEROPONIC SOLUTIONS

AEROPONIC FARM DEVELOPMENT

PHASE 1: Preparation of Polycarp Greenhouse for Aeroponics System

A Polycarp Greenhouse is assembled and installed on the designated site. The greenhouse provides a conducive environment critical to the performance of the aeroponic system. Aeroponic systems and biocontrol’s proven by NASA for rapid aeroponic food production on earth and space, grow pesticide-free food and crops anywhere.

PHASE 2: Installation of Growing Trays

The 16 aeroponic towers are installed, each with a capacity to carry 96 plants. The number of aeroponic towers will vary according to the size of the greenhouse. Our technology uses solid well tested base of aeroponics with greenhouse technology and improves this by adding further elements in a re circulation vertical system that utilizes gravity and optimize light, air, Co2 nutrition and other important contributors to growing healthy plants.

PHASE 3: Installation of Lighting System

Custom built, high-efficiency, LED grow lights mimics sunlight and delivers the optimal wavelengths for maximum plant growth. Installation of Lighting in Closed aeroponic systems: Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL); High Intensity Discharge (HID), which includes both High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and Metal Halide (MH) bulbs; and Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lights. The Aeroponic grower has several options for maximizing the artificial light energy for photosynthesis, they are as follows: Use light bulbs that have the highest level Micro-Einsteins per watt (reproducing natural sunlight conditions as much as possible) Place the bulb as close to the plant as possible to deliver the highest level Micro-Einsteins per square inch. Filter out infra-red radiation (to use the only the portion of the light spectrum needed by the plant and to reduce heat build-up inside of the plant cells)

PHASE 4: Irrigation System Installation

Aeroponic growing systems grow plants without the use of soil. The roots are suspended and sprayed with water and a nutrient solution. Towers and other vertical approaches are increasingly popular for aeroponics systems. Since the roots have need to spread out, this is a clever way to save space. A vertical setup also allows misting devices to by placed at the top, allowing gravity to distribute the moisture.

PHASE 5: Harvesting

Crops grown aeroponically can be produced up to three times as fast in an aeroponic system. This makes it an efficient solution for closed environments where resources are scarce.

PHASE 6: Marketing/Farm to Table

Once harvested, produce can be distributed through the various channels including retailers, open markets and direct to consumers. LFP Agri will collaborate with Third-Party Service providers and major Retailers, who will in-turn create markets for the beneficiaries including linking them up with off-takers and consumers.
