In the next six years, the available farm land is going to decrease dramatically, forcing urban dwellers to grow crops in their homes. The Halo Aerocell is an indoor plantation system that can grow necessary crops without the use of soil.
Designed by Han Bin Siew, the Halo Aerocell uses nutrient cartridges and the user only has to check the cartridges periodically for when they need to be replaced.
Implications - Not only does this system making growing crops a completely easy task, it answers the issue of whether or not it's still possible indoors. Farmers everywhere will definitely love this new invention.

Trend Themes
1. Indoor Farming - The growing demand for food and decrease in available farm land will drive the trend of indoor farming, creating opportunities for innovative products and technologies for efficient and sustainable crop production.
2. Soilless Agriculture - Soilless agriculture systems, such as the Halo Aerocell, will gain popularity as they are scalable, efficient, and require less water and land, paving the way for disruptive innovations in the farming industry.
3. Smart Farming - The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in farming practices, such as the Halo Aerocell, will revolutionize precision agriculture and provide real-time monitoring and optimization of crop growth, creating opportunities for tech-enabled farming solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Home Gardening - As urban dwellers increasingly turn to indoor farming for sustainable and healthy food options, the home gardening industry will see a growing demand for easy-to-use and space-saving indoor farming systems.
2. Agriculture Technology - The soilless agriculture trend will drive the growth of agricultural technology industry, creating opportunities for startups and established companies to develop innovative and scalable indoor farming systems and technologies.
3. Food Supply Chain - The indoor farming trend will disrupt traditional food supply chains, providing opportunities for companies to develop new distribution channels and partner with farmers and retailers to meet the growing demand for locally grown and sustainable produce.
