Time-lapse cameras are used throughout our aeroponic farm to film the growth of our crops. We primarily film at night, since during the daytime there would be a lot of flickering caused by moving shadows, clouds, and changing sunlight.

The filming intervals depend on the crop. Fast-growing plants are filmed less than an hour apart, while slower-growing crops are tracked over much longer intervals. Each camera is powered by its own small solar panel. These cameras let us compare growth rates, observe how quickly plants fill the towers, and see differences between varieties that aren’t always obvious when looking at the farm every day. One of the most interesting things is seeing just how much growth happens in a short period of time. On our aeroponic towers, crops can grow around 30% faster than their soil-grown counterparts, while also producing larger plants and higher yields.

Root health is the foundation of plant performance in vertical farming with aeroponic towers. Roots control water uptake, drive nutrient absorption, influence growth speed, determine plant stability, and reflect the overall balance of the system. Different crops develop completely different root structures, and learning to read them is part of mastering this system.

From seed to harvest, this is how we grow 52 heads of lettuce per square meter on aeroponic towers #lettuce #seeds #farming #agriculture #gardening ...

We grow tons of vegetables vertically on aeroponic towers, rotating what we grow as the seasons change.

We’ve set up vertical farms in 60 countries around the world, here are a few of them:

Portugal: This vertical farm inside a prison in Portugal uses 40 aeroponic towers and is entirely managed by the prisoners and guards. The goal of this farm is to transform the lives of the prisoners through sustainable farming while empowering the inmates in their rehabilitation journey. This project was spearheaded by our partners who have a non-profit organization known as UpFarming @upfarming_org

Jamaica: This vertical farm featuring 100 aeroponic towers is located in the heart of Kingston, Jamaica. They grow a wide range of crops including lettuce, basil, Scotch bonnet peppers, scallions, and more. The goal of this farm is to provide fresh produce to the local community. This project was established by our partners known as Jamaica Tower Farms @jamaicatowerfarms

Cyprus: Located on an island where water scarcity and limited arable land present major challenges for agriculture, this vertical farm features 100 aeroponic towers producing fresh crops year-round. By using up to 95% less water than traditional farming, the system provides an efficient solution for local food production. This project was implemented by our partners @yesildamlatarim

Trinidad and Tobago: Located in the Caribbean, this vertical farm features 140 aeroponic towers producing thousands of heads of lettuce along with multiple varieties of basil. This farm enables efficient, year-round local food production in a hot and humid tropical climate. This farm was set up by our partners @aeroharvestfarm

Kuwait: Located in the middle of the Kuwaiti desert, multiple greenhouses operate hundreds of aeroponic towers growing a wide variety of crops. With water scarcity being a major challenge throughout the region, aeroponic towers use a fraction of the water required by traditional farming, making this system particularly well suited to Kuwait’s environment. These farms were pioneered by our partners Beyond Organic @beyondorganic.kw

Time-lapse cameras are used throughout our aeroponic farm to capture the growth of all the crops. We mainly film at night, when there are no moving shadows, passing clouds, or changing sunlight that can create flickering in the final footage. For fast-growing crops, we sometimes capture images less than an hour apart, while slower crops are recorded over much longer intervals. Each camera operates independently and is powered by its own small solar panel, allowing us to leave them filming continuously around the farm. Over time, these time-lapses have become more than just incredible footage. They allow us to observe and compare how different crops develop, how quickly they fill the towers, and which varieties perform particularly well. One thing we consistently observe is speed. Crops grown on our aeroponic towers can grow around 30% faster than their soil-grown counterparts, while also producing larger plants and higher yields. Sometimes you don’t realize how much a plant has grown until you compress weeks of growth into just a few seconds.
