Grodan substrate supports space mission
If everything goes according to plan, the first manned mission to Mars will take place in 2035. The journey will take the 'martianauts' about two and a half years. Taking along food supplies for the entire journey is impossible; that would amount to around fifteen hundred kilograms per person. The solution lies in growing their own food. What that requires is a light and compact growth medium which yields maximum results with the use of minimal resources. Precisely the characteristics of the stone wool substrate developed by Grodan for the horticultural sector.

Precision Growing: doing more with less
All Grodan substrate solutions are aimed at doing more with less, with respect for people and the planet. Or, as Grodan calls it: 'Precision Growing'. This cultivation method supports growers and propagators in achieving sustainable cultivation. However, the ultimate form of Precision Growing is only possible if suppliers to the horticultural sector offer solutions which are maximally tuned into each other. Collaboration is therefore the key to successful Precision Growing.
