Using up to 95% less water than traditional farming methods, aeroponics is a groundbreaking soilless cultivation technique. It is the system that used mist to deliver nutrition directly to plant roots, suspending them in a controlled, air-rich environment for rapid growth.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, nutrient imbalances from agriculture are a major global concern. A nutrient budget is a powerful management tool used to track and balance the flow of nutrients on a farm, field, or even national scale.

Globally, crops often utilize less than 50% of applied nitrogen and only 10% of phosphorus fertilizers effectively. This low nutrient use efficiency (NUE) represents a significant challenge for modern agriculture, impacting both farm profitability and the health of the surrounding ecosystem.

According to research published in the Royal Society of Chemistry, nano-fertilizers have demonstrated remarkable increases in crop yields, with some studies showing improvements of up to 55% for wheat and 40% for rice. This incredible efficiency underscores the transformative benefits of nano nutrients across various fields, including agriculture and human health.
