Advanced Aeroponics: Supercharging horticultural productivity

该项目旨在通过展示LettUs Grow正在申请专利的先进气培系统在大规模商业温室中的可行性，解决种植者与进口新鲜农产品竞争成本和实现净零的挑战。LettUs Grow已经证明，他们正在申请专利，先进的气培技术可以提高生长速度和新鲜农产品的年产量20%至200%与目前使用的水培技术相比。在垂直农场中，这可以将整个生命周期的投资回报率提高3倍。先进气培技术与大规模温室系统的兼容性是目前最先进的技术所无法比拟的，这将使全球采用一种从根本上更有效的种植技术。该项目将包括先进气培滚台系统的设计和原型制造。该系统将用于两个试验，以证明生产力的提高，生长的灵活性和先进的气培法（能源，劳动力，水，养分等）的资源效率的提高。试验将如下：* 系统集成和性能试验：** 由斯托克布里奇技术中心（STC）的技术人员操作，以证明LettUs Grow的独立第三方的比较性能。(TRL 6）* 商业增长试验：** 由独立种植者运营，提供关于系统性能、效益和解决关键种植者挑战的能力的“真实世界”反馈。开发和试验的结果将通过数字媒体渠道、学术出版物和行业特定会议发布和展示。该联盟还将举办主要外部利益相关者的实地考察。如果您想了解更多关于该项目中先进气培技术的信息，请通过[**www.LettUsGrow.com**][0][0]联系：http://www.lettusgrow.com

This project sets out to solve grower challenges of competing on cost with imported fresh produce and achieving net zero by demonstrating the feasibility of LettUs Grow's patent-pending Advanced Aeroponic system in large scale commercial greenhouses.LettUs Grow has demonstrated that their patent-pending, Advanced Aeroponic technology can increase growth rate and annual yields of fresh produce by between 20 and 200% compared to the incumbent Hydroponic technology used today. In a vertical farm this can increase the lifetime Return on Investment by up to 3x.Advanced Aeroponics is uniquely compatible with large scale greenhouse systems in a way the current state-of-the-art is not, unlocking global adoption of a fundamentally more efficient growing technique.The project will include the design and prototype manufacture of an Advanced Aeroponic rolling bench system. This system will be used for two trials set out to demonstrate productivity increase, flexibility of growing and the improved resource efficiency of Advanced Aeroponics (energy, labour, water, nutrients etc.). The trials will be as follows:* **Systems integration and performance trials:** Operated by CHAP at Stockbridge Technology Centre (STC) to demonstrate comparative performance by an independent 3rd party to LettUs Grow. (TRL 6)* **Commercial growth trials:** Operated by an independent grower to provide 'real-world' feedback on system performance, benefits and the ability to solve key grower challenges.The outcomes of development and trials will be published and presented across digital media channels, academic publications and industry specific conferences. The consortium will also host site visits for key external stakeholders.If you would like to learn more about the Advanced Aeroponic technology in this project then please get in contact through [**www.LettUsGrow.com**][0][0]: http://www.lettusgrow.com
