Hydroponics: The Future of Farming

Hydroponic farming is a way to grow plants without using any soil. Instead, the plants get all their food from a special nutrition rich water as medium. This method is very important today because it helps us grow plants even during extreme weather conditions or water scarcity. Further, the use of harmful fertilizers is minimized. The aim is to see if we could grow plants faster in small spaces. We used a “Deep Water Culture” system, which uses a water tank and air pumps to keep the roots healthy. We found that plants in this system grow much quicker than those in regular soil. Hydroponics farming is a sustainable method, helping meet present and growing food needs.
