Aeroponics #5 - Large scale / Commercial use


Aeroponics – Commercial Use

            Companies that produce crops on a commercial scale feed billions of people a year, and soon they may feed more. The Aeroponics system has the capability to produce this food. However, on such a large scale as this Aeroponics is not cost effective. The amount of money that would be required to start an endeavourer such as this would be tremendous. The profits in the long run as well may not be high enough to make it worthwhile for the companies that would convert to this style of growing. The rapid production of food may not be beneficial to an economy either. With a large amount of food, and not enough people to buy it, the demand would plummet, and prices would fall into a large pit, one that we would not be likely to see the bottom of. Aeroponics is a system that is best kept at a small scale, about the scale of an Urban Farmer who may be only be farming to better support his family, not an entire nation.
