DONATIONS WILL FUND THE BUILD AND CYCLE TESTING OF THE FIRST AGROWPILE PROTOTYPE.
A.I.M. "AN INDEPENDANT MAUI" LAUNCHES AGROWPILE FARMS:
SUSTAINABLE FARMS INCLUDE ENVIRONMENTALLY POSITIVE, ZERO ENERGY AND WATER COST, AND MADE PRIMARILY FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS. SO BENEFICIAL TO HUMAN KIND WE MUST PUT THE WELL BEING OF THOSE IN NEED AHEAD OF A COMMERCIAL LAUNCH TO END WORLD HUNGER.
We take “end of use” shipping containers, clean and seal them from the inside using recycled eco -friendly products. We then install our three dimensional aeroponic farm cells engineered for the desired crop. Seeds or cuttings for the crop were previously “sown” while assembling the farm cells.
BriteSol, Inc.’s groundbreaking patent pending lighting system is added to the farm cells. Designed to illuminate with an optimal photosynthesis action spectrum, it is so efficient it is powered by renewable energy and has a lifetime exceeding fifty years. Aeroponic feed and drain lines are connected to each farm cell prior to sealing until harvest. Nutrient enriched water and specialized low pressure atmospheric gas tanks are connected to the aeroponic units to enable a gravity fed solid state system.
Finally, Agrowpile Farms Crop Unit’s environmental system integrates a number of other cutting edge technologies, provided by the XOsphere Corporation, a patent pending solid state HVAC system that is organic and efficient is also powered by renewable energy.
The patent pending renewable energy source for the Agrowpile Farm Crop Units is by eleXele Incorporated. It is a unique blend of organic photovoltaic and thermoelectric technologies that allows the farms to operate free from the cost of power.
