Meaplant Innovation is a patented soilless cultivation system designed to grow vegetables through an innovative substrate made of hydrophobic and inert materials.
Thanks to its advanced growing technology, the system works through the recirculation and recovery of water , enabling savings of up to 90% in water consumption and up to 60% in mineral salts required for plant nutrition.
The closed-loop cultivation system does not release wastewater into the environment and helps protect natural aquifers from pollution.
With Meaplant Innovation , vegetables grow strong and healthy thanks to continuous and precise fertigation, without snails or common soil parasites.
This innovative technology is patented in several countries, including Europe, USA, Canada, China, India, Australia and the United Arab Emirates , making sustainable and autonomous cultivation accessible to everyone, everywhere.
The system is available in modular kits composed of cultivation channels, support structures, irrigation systems, water reserve tanks and low-consumption recirculation pumps .
Additional accessories are also available for customized configurations.
Our cultivation kits are ideal for terraces, balconies, urban environments, gardens and countryside spaces, allowing anyone to create their own productive vegetable garden.
With Meaplant Innovation , growing becomes simple, sustainable and enjoyable โ without soil, without effort and without sacrificing your free time.
Enjoy fresh, tasty and vitamin-rich vegetables cultivated safely through an advanced and sustainable growing method.
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.
Patented soilless cultivation technology designed to reduce water consumption, simplify cultivation and support sustainable agriculture worldwide.
Our systems are designed to optimize the use of space and water, ensuring significant water savings through a closed-loop recirculation system.
By eliminating the need for soil and drastically reducing water usage, Meaplant Innovation promotes sustainable agricultural practices that are gentle on the environment.
Production rich in vitamins and antioxidants thanks to optimized nutrient distribution and controlled cultivation conditions.
Innovation is key to ensuring access to water, food and sustainable cultivation in the face of climate change. Built around the principle that every drop counts, Meaplant Innovation combines engineering, efficiency and patented cultivation technology to maximize resource optimization and agricultural resilience.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) recognized Meaplant Innovation as a cultivation system aligned with the objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
โAn innovation that is aligned with the objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).โ
Built through years of research and development, Meaplant Innovation is a patented soilless cultivation system designed to make growing accessible to anyone.
Yes, especially when compared to traditional intensive cultivation methods. Our system is made from recyclable materials and recirculates both water and mineral salts without releasing fertilizers into the environment.
It helps prevent soil salinization, water resource pollution and the eutrophication of surface waters. It is also cost-effective because it does not require complex technologies.
In Europe, current legislation states that cultivation can only be certified as organic if it is carried out in soil. In the United States, however, certain soilless cultivation systems may also qualify for organic certification.
In soilless cultivation, many soil-borne pests are absent, reducing the need for certain pesticide treatments. Furthermore, contaminants and undesirable elements may be present in the soil.
In soilless cultivation, plants are nourished with correctly dosed mineral salts, supporting healthy growth and high-quality production rich in nutritional elements.
Growing your own vegetables with Meaplant Innovation allows you to enjoy healthy, high-quality harvests.
The fertilizers used in Meaplant Innovation are mineral salts containing essential nutrients for plants, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
These same nutrients are also naturally present in organic fertilizers of animal or plant origin and are fundamental to plant nutrition.
Salinization is the progressive accumulation of salts in the soil or growing substrate following repeated fertigation cycles.
In soil cultivation, it can cause a long-term loss of soil fertility. In traditional soilless cultivation substrates, plant growth may also be compromised.
To prevent this, the substrate often needs to be washed repeatedly with large quantities of water, which is then released into the environment carrying accumulated salts.
The Meaplant Innovation substrate has been specifically designed to prevent salt accumulation.
