Developed in the 1980s through simultaneous research by Dr. Mark McMurtry in the U.S. and parallel efforts in Japan, IAVS (also known as sandponics) emerged as one of the world’s first truly water-efficient farming systems.

After decades of obscurity, the method was revived in Egypt in 2019—reigniting global momentum. Today, sandponics is spreading across four continents as the urgent need for sustainable agriculture grows.
