Growponics Americas, LLC is the exclusive authorized distributor of Israeli Hydroponic Technology throughout North & South America. The parent company, Growponics Ltd., designs and builds fully automated greenhouses that use modern agronomics and high technology to maximize food/plant production and profitability on crop yields grown 365 days a year, specializing in a unique, shallow-bed, rotating using hydroponic growing methods. Our high concentration method can grow 4 million heads of lettuce, for example, on 3 acres of land, as compared to 30 acres needed for field grown lettuce.
Growponics’ technology removes the variables and constraints that Mother Nature puts on farmers and allows consistent quality of produce to ensure the best possible market price. Planting, harvesting and packaging is at a semi-automated level, including robotic features; is in a climate controlled environment, monitored by an advanced computerized control center, reducing the need for costly manpower and training. The computers monitor the environment, keeping the oxygen, light, carbon dioxide and oxygen, humidity, temperature, nutrients and other factors at optimum levels. In such a closed, monitored environment, there is no harmful pesticide and herbicide residue, and it insures the produce is free of pathogenic bacteria, all of which are current major health issues with field-grown crops. We do not have to wash our produce with chlorine and other harmful chemicals, further increasing shelf-life and quality, taste and color. The minimal use of water, as compared to field crops (75%-90% savings), is an answer to the water shortages we are currently seeing with California growers. In addition, the uniquely designed greenhouse facilities can be put anywhere, because soil quality and the outdoor climate are not growing factors, as is the case of “field-grown” leafy greens.
This means that the produce can be grown near to wholesaler or retailer distribution points or major metropolitan areas, to reduce the carbon footprint by 70%-90% and insure a short supply line (i.e., 6-24 hours from greenhouse to market shelves), providing the freshest, best-tasting produce with a longer shelf life. Growponics greenhouse facilities can be energy-independent, using solar, geo-thermal, wind and bio fuel energy, to make our facility even more environmentally-friendly, while producing premium produce.
We design & build automated, computerized, and controlled hydroponic systems in a unique franchise model that guarantees successful growing. We offer a unique, sustainable greenhouse designed to grow commercial quantities of hydroponic, pesticide/ herbicide-residue-free, pathogen-free, green leafy vegetables, herbs, and vine plants, while making optimal use of resources, such as water, energy, labor and land.
