At CES 2025, Jordanian company AirFarm introduced a new approach to indoor farming with its inflatable modules that utilize aeroponics to grow crops faster and with never-seen-before efficiency.
By employing a micro mist aeroponic system, AirFarm achieves water usage reductions of up to 99% compared to traditional agriculture, making it a game-changer for water-scarce regions and urban farming.
The lightweight and portable modules are not only 75% lighter than conventional container farms but also designed for quick installation, requiring just half a day. This efficient design also enhances shipping logistics, allowing 10 units to fit into a single container, eliminating the need for a trailer.
"[At CES] last year, we got the best of innovation in human security.
