Hexagro is a modular aeroponic urban farming system created by designer Felipe Hernandez Villa-Roel from Costa Rica. Hexagon-shaped pods stack like beehives to grow vegetables indoors using 95% less water, inspired by honeycomb efficiency for resource optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biomimetic Core<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beehive geometry maximizes light, airflow, and space while minimizing waste, akin to a “living tree” of production. Aeroponics mists roots for rapid growth without soil.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

System Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

App-controlled pods support 30+ crops; community platform enables trading. DIY assembly fits apartments.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Reach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Developed via Biomimicry Institute courses, Hexagro tackles pesticide overuse and food access in urban areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
