Published purpose
The project advances a modular, low-resource Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) system based on fogponics, closed-loop water management, and IoT monitoring. Building on prior prototype cycles that validated the core cultivation approach, the company will complete the active growth cycle, commission a second pilot unit, execute two further growth cycles across diversified berry cultivars in parallel multi-unit operation, develop custom A-Frame hardware to replace the current residential unit hardware, produce per-cultivar growth protocols, and quantify clean-tech performance on water, energy, nutrient utilization, and yield. The funded scope concludes with the engineering design for a 200 m² scaled-up configuration validated against the accumulated multi-cycle dataset.
