Growing on textile instead of using heavy rack systems
By employing fog as an irrigation method we can avoid many problems of usual farming system - Mainly we don't need to carry a lot of heavy loads any more and can benefit from the possibility to employ lighter structures and concepts

We can now utilize completely different materials to construct our farms because we don't have to carry heavy loads and do not have any components in the root zone of the plants. So we use fabric instead of steel or plastic. This is without a doubt more sustainable, as well as considerably less expensive. As a result, the plants grow on vertically hanging round plant carriers made of fabric within which interior spaces of the plant carriers are filled with fog while outside areas are illuminated by lighting. The rounded form of the plant allows us to use more space because it takes up less room, while also allowing for greater heat dissipation and better humidity management.
1. Fogponics
ultrasonic, efficient and water saving - fogponics allows new farms to operate on levels never seen before
2. Less Maintenance and Parts
Through replacing pressutized systems with fog, we don't need faulty parts anymore - while also cooling the plants simultaneously
5. More surface area
Through switching from flat shapes to round ones, we can optimize the planting density and the surface area of the farm
6. Better Heat and humidity management
Allowing heat and humidity to rise and exit the farm freely - using physics to ou advantage.
9. More light
By trapping the light source effiiciently in the middle of the planters, we avoid waste of light.
