Arogrena

 

Arogrena aims to develop a self-sustaining distributed vertical farm system powered by aeroponics technology. Our small system can process food waste and convert it into nutrients for growing plants and vegetables at home and in small communities, allowing user to enjoy fresh, homegrown organic greens every day at low cost and in an environmentally friendly way.

Our invention is a one-stop system, including the following components: 1) a tiny dehumidifier; 2) a food waste recycler; 3) a water circulation and filtration system; 4) an aeroponics system; and 5) an IoT and control system. By combining these components in a user-friendly integrated system, we can provide a green, sustainable lifestyle for everyone.
