CleanGreens Solutions, B Corp founded in 2013 (formerly CombaGroup SA) is a Swiss company that created a sustainable cultivation technology to combat water scarcity, labor and arable land shortage, food dependency and the use of pesticides.
The objective? to install in every Greenhouse in any country our mobile AEROponics irrigation system.
For that we developed GREENOVA: a mobile irrigation robot that reduces the use of water by 96% while increasing crop yield up to 30 times compared to in-field agriculture. Compared to HYDROponics, AEROponics saves 60% of water. Besides being a sustainable farming method, our technology provides the best product quality and large-scale project economics. In fact, our system is already installed and operating in several countries with different climates such as in the Kuwait desert, providing quality greens all year round.
In AEROponics the roots are not submerged or underground but hang in the air: our mobile AEROponics equipment comprises an irrigation robot smartly hidden below a supporting structure that carries crop modules. While rolling, it provides them with the water and nutrients they need with minimum microbiological risks while, minimizing the need for nozzles maintenance.
With such impressive results of yields and water savings, no wonder that our system has won many Ag Tech awards and prizes! Lately we were proudly selected among the 10 first labelled solutions of the Solar Impulse Foundation as a profitable solution for the future.
Sustainability and social impact are at the heart of every decision we make whether we design a part or choose a supplier for our delivered projects.
Were different. Join to the #AEROponics revolution!
