Air Batalla develops greenhouses for coastal areas, which allows generating crop solutions for poor populations that need to generate food sources. The greenhouses are adapted to the environmental conditions of the area and use sea water to create micro-environments for the development of sustainable crops.

Many of these populations settled in the northern part of Colombia, have great needs for water and also great needs for food that can curb the high rates of malnutrition and infant death that affect this area of the country so much.

The Invernadero de Mar seeks 3 basic solutions such as water, food and electricity for those communities that are close to the coast. It is a sustainable technology with minimal environmental impact, given the growing demand for food and water that are present in many areas of the world, which require specific technologies that generate tangible solutions to the deficiencies of these communities.
