About the team

Our comprehensive programmes focus on space energy management and utilization, maximizing the use of renewable energy sources, and implementing advanced environmental control technologies. We strive to tackle the inherent issues in traditional agriculture, such as resource inefficiency and environmental impact. By fostering innovation and sustainable practices, we are dedicated to creating a more resilient and eco-friendly agricultural system, ultimately working towards a better and healthier planet for future generations.

Our vision

Our group has designed an independent vertical agricultural ecosystem, which is divided into three layers: soil culture, hydroponic and air culture. Our group mainly solves the problem of bacterial and virus pollution in the hydroponic system to achieve large-scale food production. In the long run, the system can effectively solve the problems of shortage of arable land and water resources, product transportation costs and large losses faced by traditional agriculture. It is not only not affected by climate change, but also ensures food safety and quality, but also makes rational use of organic waste, improves urban public health and climate, and promotes the sustainable development of cities.

Our solution

Solution: To address the issue of hydroponic contamination in vertical agricultural ecosystems, our team will adopt a targeted sterilization method that combines solar light focusing with intelligent scanning. By using a comprehensive numerical control network for grid-based analysis of water flow, we can identify the types of viruses and establish a rotating convex lens system powered by solar energy for focused sterilization, thus completing the purification process. With the combination of technology and sustainable energy, this concept provides an opportunity to solve the problem of small-scale hydroponics, while its low energy consumption and high efficiency will be unique features of this method.
