Aeroponics: Growing Organic Produce in Air, Water, and Nutrients

I’m working on a project to popularize the concept of aeroponics, the science of growing plants in areas where land is scarce, using a mixture of air, water, and nutrients. Imagine robust, organic produce grown indoors, on rooftops, etc. Now realize a potential downside: you need containers, most of which are made out of plastics that come from petroleum and do not biodegrade.

OK, what about bioplastics, derived from the cellulose in plants? I’m willing to learn a bit more. How about you? I hope you’ll check out the article linked above.
