At the start of the pandemic, gardening supplies sold out with so many people deciding to start a garden. Growing your favorite produce cuts down on trips to the grocery store and saves on the food waste (throwing out food that has gone bad in the refrigerator). People wanted to take better care of their health and fresh-picked has maximum nutrition. Harvested food we buy at the market loses 50% of its nutrition every day trying to survive, they have found after 4 days spinach hardly as any nutrition left!
Now there is a second wave of people wanting to grow their own food with the price of produce going up, and quality and availability going down. Farmers are struggling with leaps in costs in fertilizer (up 50%), cost of fuel (up 40%), cost of packaging and shipping (up 30%) since 2021. Realizing that trend, 32% of Americans have been active in making a plan to increase their food security and preparedness.
Traditional gardening involves preparing the soil, setting up irrigation, as well as planning the spacing and companion planting. Growing in the ground also has the challenges of weeds to deal with (they take the water and fertilizer) and ground pests that eat your food, and there are the concerns of heavy metal contaminants found in soil. There is an easier, better way to grow food with a higher level of nutrition, with an aeroponic gardening system made in the USA. Here are some of the benefits of this system developed from a NASA grant to develop a way to grow the most nutritious food for astronauts.
Advantages
Studies have found people who grow their own garden (especially children) eat more vegetables which is also a win! Customers have reported it is so much easier compared to traditional gardening which requires kneeling and bending. Eating just picked organic food steps away from your kitchen is not only more nutritious, it’s more flavorful too!
