Meaplant Innovation is a system for growing vegetables or ornamental plants in which soil is replaced with an innovative substrate consisting of a mesh of threads made from hydrophobic and inert materials.
Thanks to this innovative growing substrate, the system is easy to use through the recirculation and recovery of water, allowing savings of up to 90%, as well as savings of up to 60% in the mineral salts necessary for plant nutrition.
The closed-loop system does not release wastewater into the environment and does not pollute aquifers.
In Meaplant Innovation, vegetables grow strong and lush thanks to continuous and precise fertigation, without snails or other soil parasites.
This innovative technology is patented in many countries, including Europe, USA, China, India, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates , and enables an eco-sustainable and autonomous growing system that can be used by everyone, everywhere, and without effort.
The system is produced in modular kits consisting of channels, supports, irrigation systems, water reserve tanks, and low-consumption pumps for recirculating the nutrient solution.
Accessories for customized models are also available.
Our cultivation kits are ideal for anyone who wants to have their own vegetable garden on a terrace, balcony, in urban spaces, or in the countryside.
The system can also be configured for large cultivation spaces by connecting multiple modules together.
With Meaplant Innovation, it is simple and enjoyable to grow in a small space, without soil, without effort, and without sacrificing your free time.
Finally, you will be able to grow safely and enjoy fresh, tasty, vitamin-rich vegetables.
In the WIPO report on agriculture over the past 20 years, published in September 2024, Meaplant Innovation was recognized as a global leader in agrifood innovation.

Yes, compared to traditional intensive cultivation. Our system is made of recyclable materials and recycles water and mineral salts without dispersing fertilizers into the environment. It helps prevent soil salinization, the pollution of water resources and the eutrophication of surface waters. It is also low-cost because it does not require complex technologies.
In Europe, legislation states that organic cultivation can only be certified if it is carried out in soil, while in the United States it is possible to certify organic cultivation even if it is carried out without soil.
In soilless cultivation there are no soil parasites and therefore the neel for pesticides is reduced. Furthermore, polluting elements may be present in the soil.
In soilless cultivation, plants are nourished with correctly dosed mineral salts for luxuriant growth and production, rich in nutritional elements.
Cultivating your own vegetable garden with Meaplant Innovation will give you a healthy and high-quality harvest.
The fertilizers used in Meaplant Innovation are mineral salts: salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, etc., which are also naturally present in organic fertilizers of animal or plant origin.
Salinization is the accumulation of salts in the soil or growing substrate that occurs following repeated fertilization cycles.
In soil cultivation, it causes a long-term loss of fertility by drying out the soil. In traditional soilless cultivation substrates, plant growth can also be compromised.
To avoid this, the substrate must be repeatedly washed with large quantities of water, which is then released into the environment enriched with salts.
The Meaplant Innovation substrate has been specifically designed not to absorb salinity.
Many phenomena in Nature involve trapped drops of water: the formation of dew drops on a spider’s web, the capture of drops of water on the spines of cacti or the movement of droplets on plant fibres. These phenomena have been studied and explored for various technological applications: from microfluidics for medical and electronic equipment, to harvest nets of the water drops from fog in the desert areas. MEAPLANT’s innovation for the first time in history has applied these physical principles to make soilless cultivation simple, efficient and suitable for everyone.
Our cultivation substrate is made up of a mesh of threads made with materials for food use which are hydrophobic and chemically inert.
The drops of water and mineral salts, supplied by an irrigation system, remain suspended on the threads for the balance that it is established between the surface tension of the drops and their weight.
The videos below show how the drops supplied by an irrigation system are captured by a mesh of interwoven threads as happens in our growing substrate. When the drops increase in mass and become greater than the surface tension resistance force, they precipitate inside the tank.
