Saudi Arabia is on its way to the future of farming; a brand new aeroponic, soil-less, sunless, pesticide-less, low-energy farm was just installed in the town of Jeddah. The farm was created by AeroFarm, a company that manufactures a new type of hydroponic growing unit that uses a recyclable cloth material, instead of soil to anchor plants. The system provides nutrition to plants with air circulation, a nutrient rich mist and an array of low-energy, LED lighting. The farms can grow fresh local produce indoors year-round in cold climates and because of their low-water usage are perfect for desert climates a with soil degradation and climate change becoming a problem around the world these things might come in handy.
