Urban residents encounter a substantial obstacle while attempting to participate in agricultural pursuits within their metropolis. Furthermore, the problem of restricted space also presents the formidable obstacle of climate change, which has the potential to inflict damage upon plants and their immediate surroundings. Therefore, to address the problem of balancing urban regions and natural surroundings, I propose introducing aeroponic products that are specifically developed for people living in cities who often face the consequences of climate change. This aeroponic system functions without the utilisation of any growing substrate, depending entirely on the supply of a water and fertiliser solution to the hanging plant roots. The 34 participants of the survey offered positive feedback and proposed methods that required incorporation and modification. The planting mechanism in question is an energy independent technology that results in cost savings. Moreover, the incorporation of both closed and open cultivation techniques provides an extra benefit for consumers of this product.
