First Page Mentioned : Not directly mentioned within the narrative

Where hydroponics is the growing of plants within an atmosphere of water, aeroponics is the growing and production of plants through the atmosphere of air! By using a nutrient and hormone rich spray/vapor, vegetation is cultivated without the use of soil or heavy amounts of moisture. This conserves resources, while providing new opportunities for plant growth in areas otherwise unsuitable for farming. This conditioning allows plants to develop an “air root”, which is stronger and more suitable for transplantation without fear of causing shock or other lasting damage to the plant. Aroonn's use of aeroponics has allowed for dramatic growth and trade for the floating city nation.
