Aeroponics: An Overview of the New Emerging Controlled Environmental Technology with Dr. Thomas Gurley of Charleston Southern University


There is a food crisis looming in the world today due to the increase of population, and the reduction in agricultural resources, including water, fertilizers, and land availability. Controlled Environmental Agriculture (CEA) has been emerging as part of the solution. Join Dr. Gurley in an informative lecture which will include an introduction to aeroponics, hydroponics, and aquaponics as well as a look at the new CEA “farms” that are emerging and selling produce in local grocery stores.
