Aeroponics #4 - medicinal purposes

Aeroponics – Pharmaceuticals

            It is a known fact that many useful medicines are derived from plants. The compounds needed to synthesize these medicines are harvested from plants from many parts of the world. The disadvantage to these plants is that many of them need a specific climate to survive. Normally these circumstances cannot be recreated. However; the Aeroponic system allows for a greater control of the environment around a plant that is being grown, which would make it possible to grow these plants in the United States, rather than harvest them from rainforests, which would also make this system an ideal candidate for any company that wishes to “go green.” Another factor that would make the Aeroponics system ideal is the rapid growth of the plants growing in a unit. We all know that Pharmaceutical companies are all about making money, even though they make products that help us, their main goal is to make money. The rapid growth of these special plants would make the use of their time more efficient, and profitable. There would be an expensive initial start up cost because they  would have to acquire the equipment needed, but soon after their profit would consume the original starting cost.
