Aeroponics offers solutions to many of the intractible problems related to food security in developing countries. Infertile or polluted soil, devastating droughts, land shortages, water scarcity, and widespread malnutrition can all be significantly improved with investments in aeroponics.
In recent studies into the effectiveness of aeroponics as a solution to food insecurity, researchers found that basic aeroponics equipment could be supplied for as little as $19 from aid organizations, and cold-brewed compost tea could replace the need for expensive nutrient concentrates. 100% off-the-grid solar power is used in locations around the world to provide electricity for pumps and other equipment. In regions where water is scarce or likely to be salty or contaminated, studies also focused on the feasability of filtering and using that water for crop production. Once qualtiy water has been produced, aeroponics consumes a mere 10% compared to traditional farming methods.
