How Does an Aeroponic System Work?

Tap the numbers to explore; steps open automatically as you progress in the game.

Step 1 / 6

What is aeroponics?

In aeroponics, plants grow without soil, suspended in air, while their roots are fed with a fine mist of nutrient solution.

Soilless farming
Step 2 / 6

Far less water

Because the nutrient solution is delivered as a micro-mist in a closed loop, up to 98% less water is needed than in traditional farming.

Up to 98% less water
Step 3 / 6

Roots can breathe

Because the roots hang in the air, they get direct access to oxygen, which supports faster and more efficient growth.

Maximum oxygen
Step 4 / 6

Light and climate control

LED lighting and IoT sensors adjust light and climate conditions, so production can continue regardless of the season.

LED + IoT control
Step 5 / 6

Pesticide-free, inside the city

Grown in a closed, controlled environment, fresh pesticide-free food can be produced in the city center, reducing the need for transport.

Pesticide-free, local production
Step 6 / 6

Fast, efficient harvest

Because roots take up nutrients and oxygen easily, plants develop quickly; harvests are possible year-round indoors, regardless of season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you have in mind about Zeroponics and our technology.

What exactly is Zeroponics Technology?

Zeroponics is a fully automated smart agricultural system developed against the climate crisis, using closed-loop systems and high-pressure aeroponic technology. Our goal is to ensure pesticide-free fresh food production in city centers and indoor areas with a zero carbon footprint.

What is aeroponic farming?

Aeroponics is a soilless farming method in which plants are grown suspended in air, with their roots fed by a fine mist of nutrient solution, instead of growing in soil or water.

Why Aeroponic technology instead of traditional or hydroponic farming?

Aeroponic systems use up to 98% less water compared to traditional agriculture. Since plant roots hang in the air and the nutrient solution is sprayed onto the roots in a micro-mist, they grow much faster and more efficiently by taking maximum oxygen.

Which plants can be grown with Zeroponics?

Fresh greens (lettuce, arugula, spinach, kale, bok choy), aromatic herbs (basil, mint, thyme, parsley), microgreens and fruiting plants such as cherry tomato, strawberry and mini cucumber can be grown.

Where can the systems be used?

Our systems can operate in all kinds of indoor areas thanks to IoT integration. We can turn any place where light and climate control can be established—such as roofs, idle warehouse areas, restaurant kitchens, homes, and large-scale commercial facilities—into a production area.

What is the advantage of joining the waitlist?

When Zeroponics systems are commercially launched, users on our waitlist will have the right to experience the systems first, benefiting from priority delivery and special launch discounts.

Who is developing Zeroponics?

Zeroponics is developed by an interdisciplinary team based in Izmir, Turkey. The co-founders are Erşed Akyüz and Sümeyye Ayaz. The project won the 2026 Sustainable1Izmir Award and was selected for the IV. Inci Foundation Harvest Grant Program.
