The College of New Caledonia and Vancouver Island Urban Farms Inc. are collaborating on an applied research project that seeks to develop an innovative aeroponics food production system for indoor plant growing. Vancouver Island Urban Farms seeks to further develop its Pyramid GardenTM aeroponics system that grows vegetables indoors up to 30% faster than conventional systems, while using 80% less water. The Pyramid GardenTM technology uses a patented, 4-sided pyramid design to grow plants in a vertical structure that exposes the plants to more sunlight. This geometric design has been coupled with a proprietary nutrient delivery system. This indoor growing system represents an important innovation to northern communities who seek to develop local year-round food markets.

新喀里多尼亚学院和温哥华岛城市农场公司。正在合作开展一项应用研究项目，旨在开发一种用于室内植物种植的创新气培食品生产系统。温哥华岛城市农场寻求进一步开发其金字塔花园TM气培系统，在室内种植蔬菜的速度比传统系统快30%，而用水量减少80%。Pyramid GardenTM技术采用专利的四面金字塔设计，以垂直结构种植植物，使植物暴露在更多的阳光下。这种几何设计与专有的营养输送系统相结合。这种室内种植系统是北方社区寻求开发当地全年食品市场的一项重要创新。
