At CES 2025, Jordanian company AirFarm stole the spotlight with its groundbreaking approach to indoor farming. Their inflatable farming modules, powered by advanced aeroponics, are not just innovative—they're transformative. Designed to address global food and water security challenges, these lightweight and portable units redefine how we grow crops in urban and water-scarce regions.
With up to 99% less water usage compared to traditional farming methods, AirFarm's system is a symbol of hope for areas facing water scarcity.
At the heart of AirFarm’s technology lies its micro mist aeroponic system. This method delivers nutrients directly to plant roots through a fine mist, optimizing growth while slashing resource use.
Here’s how AirFarm stacks up:
This technique supports a variety of crops, from leafy greens to root vegetables, making it versatile and efficient. Additionally, it maximizes yield without compromising sustainability, a key concern for modern agriculture.
AirFarm has taken the complexity out of agriculture with its smart farming integration. A user-friendly smartphone app allows real-time monitoring and control of essential factors like temperature, humidity, pH, and Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD).
The app’s intuitive dashboard lets users input desired values, ensuring optimal conditions with minimal effort. This data-driven approach empowers even beginners to produce high-quality crops efficiently. By blending technology with agriculture, AirFarm makes farming accessible to everyone.
What sets AirFarm apart is the portability and efficiency of its modules. These inflatable units are:
These features not only reduce shipping costs but also make the modules ideal for deployment in remote or urban locations.
AirFarm’s innovation is already making waves globally. In the UAE, their modules are being used in school cafeterias to provide fresh salads. In Japan, they’ve supported sustainable farming initiatives.
The modules are available in 10- and 20-foot sizes, catering to educational, research, and commercial farming needs. The 20-foot model, matching standard container dimensions, is perfect for scalable operations.
Founded to tackle pressing food security issues, AirFarm is reimagining the future of agriculture. Its innovative aeroponic technology, paired with smart farming systems and eco-friendly designs, offers a practical solution to global challenges like water scarcity and urban farming. By combining portability, efficiency, and sustainability, AirFarm is paving the way for a new era of agriculture.
