Homecrop™ Cities are the New Farms

easily installed on rooftops, balconies and other free areas. With our urban
farming expertise, growing your own vegetables has never been this easy!

Astoria Solutions: "To be globally recognized as the leader and disruptive

innovator that transforms safety, accountability, and productivity for our clients
in a complex and often hazardous industrial environment"
Astoria Solution’s business approach is driven by the ideology of 'Disruptive
Innovation' which describes a process by which a product or service takes root
initially in simple applications at the bottom of a market and then relentlessly
moves up market, eventually displacing established competitors. We aim to
develop products and services that encapsulate this ideology to serve the
needs of the global industries that are hazardous in nature.
Astoria Solutions secured growth capital to expand our penetration into the
global Marine and Oil & Gas industries in particular and all industries that
are hazardous in general from Rose Park Advisors, co-founded by Matthew
Christensen and Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen,
who coined the original concept of “Disruptive Innovation”.
