Plants are medicine

What we put into our body should nourish us.  

The fruits and vegetables we eat today contain little nutrient value and are slowly poisoning us due to widespread use of pesticides and preservatives. Commercial and indoor agriculture are dirty, expensive, and inefficient ways to grow food. How our food is grown directly impacts the planet’s topsoils, which directly impacts our health. We’ve seen widespread chronic illnesses due to modern gut imbalances. 

To make it worse, food is being forced indoors due to urban development, decreasing topsoils, and climate changes. 

“Mounting evidence shows that many fruits, vegetables, and grains grown today carry fewer nutrients than those grown decades ago. But studies have shown that changing farming methods can reverse these nutrient declines. Produce cultivated on farms that embrace regenerative farming practices is more nutritious.”

National Geographic, May 3, 2022.

Do you want to be stuck feeding yourself and your children the products of indoor agriculture and vertical farming? We don’t! 

At AZENTIVE, we support completely regenerative growing in alignment with Nature, including cultivating in living soil and sunlighting. We foster Biomimicry food cultivating systems that grow nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, and plant-based medicines. 

The healthiest, most nutrient-dense foods are nourished in living soil and sunlighting.

It's simple. It's the Sun. Indoors.

The Sun On-Demand™ is a hyper-efficient sunlighting technology that produces a true electromagnetic sunlight spectrum and frequencies. No other indoor light source can deliver the same.

The yellow spectrum line is the full range of natural Sunlight where each frequency is important for plant development and secondary metabolite expression. Notice the narrow range of visible light, which is less than 44% of Sunlight’s energy This is the limited range of the Sun’s energy that the industry calls PAR. 

The green spectrum line is The Sun On-Demand™, delivering all of the frequencies and combinations of frequencies of the Sun from UV-B, UV-A, PAR, IR, and far IR from 285 nm to 1650 nm and beyond. The Sun On-Demand™ is the most complete and efficient lighting technology available. 

Complete Sunlighting energy allows the plant and the soil food web to go through all of their natural growth and development phases because the electromagnetic frequencies penetrate deep into the plant’s cells, the canopy, and the soil.

Acting regeneratively not only increases nutrient-density in plants, but it also leads to healthy profits from lower OpEx and CapEx, reduced risks, as well as product differentiation and enhancement. It’s a true win-win scenario that harmonizes healthy profits, healthy plants, and healthy people for you, your business, and the planet.

Note that the red and the blue spectrum lines are LED lights. Notice the limited amounts of energy emitted. (The LED lines are for demonstration purposes only.)

Benefits

Sunlighting is imperative for healthy living soil, thriving plants, and protecting our food supply. The Sun On-Demand™ is one tool in your regenerative growing system to help you.

Efficient & Cost-Effective

Reduce new build electrical infrastructure and AC tonnage CapEx significantly, often paying for the lights immediately. CapEx lighting fixture costs are usually cheaper than LEDs. Electricity cost savings are 25 to 80% (crop and setup dependent).

Regenerative

Cultivate indoors closer to Mother Nature’s ways to grow a wide variety of crops (well beyond leafy greens) with full electromagnetic sunlight for cleaner, more efficient cultivation systems that create healthy plants, healthy people, healthy places.

Thriving Plants

Energize the soil and your plants from seed to harvest for healthier growth. Build strong immune systems to help protect against pests,  pathogens, and viroids. Balance circadian rhythms. Plants thrive and exhibit healthier growth, denser internode spacing, and a larger rootmass.   

Supplement the Outdoors

Growing outdoors is usually the better choice. Jump start your outdoor farm with ready-to-plant-outside hardened teens with more internodes, strong immune systems, and more root mass. Your plants started under The Sun On-Demand™ will quickly acclimate to outdoor sunlight. 

Room Comparison

On the left, a typical commercial cultivation room is lit by 66K Watts of hazy, unhealthy, artificial light. 

To the right, the same room is lit by 22K Watts of indoor sunlighting. 

This installation reduces more than $56K in energy waste OpEx. The customer chose The Sun On-Demand™ over a competing proposal that recommended 68K Watts in LED lighting.

Specifications

Did you notice how narrow the range of visible light (aka PAR) is in the spectrum graphic above? Those frequencies are limited to between 400 and 700 nanometers, which is also known as photosynthetically active radiation or PAR. By contrast, The Sun On-Demand™ includes the full electromagnetic spectrum of the sun.
