Relevance to UAE and GCC - Challenges We Solve

Water Scarcity

The Airponix system is extremely water efficient, as water recirculated within the system, allowing for a drastic decrease in water consuption.

High % of Imported Food

Our system enables local production of crop on a mass scale, voiding the need to import food.

Increasing Population

Our system has a greater efficiency of area compared to flat farming technologies, resulting in an increase in food production, to feed the growing population.

<5% Arable Land

The Airponix solution is a soilless technology, removing the requirement for arable land.

Crop priority

The airponix A-Frame is crop agnostic, enabling all of the preferred crops of the UAE and GCC to be grown.

Kenyan Case Study

Delivering exceptional results

We are initially focusing on high-value crops. However, our vision is that as our cost-base decreases, we will move down to grow staple crops more economically.

How it Works

Partnership & Outsourcing

We are looking to parner with international growers, small and large, to help optimise their production systems.

Consultancy & Construction

We offer a full consultancy service to design and build a system tailored to the clients’ specific crop and environmental needs.
