Health and wellness have become a matter of priority and concern for a majority of the population across the globe. Moreover, with the growing number of medical cases such as heart diseases, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, strokes, and rising healthcare costs, the consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the relation between diet and health.
The global investments in technological advancements in the agricultural industry can significantly reduce some of the environmental issues and would also meet the 2050 food and crop demand. Several agronomists, farmers, and companies have come up with the concept of hydroponics, aquaculture, aquaponics and aeroponics technologies, which have been already serving as the ideal solutions for coping environmental issues.
These techniques have innumerable advantages over the conventional farming methods. Hydroponics, and aeroponics are modern agriculture systems that utilize nutrient-rich water rather than soil for plant growth. These do not require fertile land and require less space and 70% less water when compared with the conventional farming. These techniques support crop production all year round, when practiced in a controlled environment. This ultimately assists the farmers in having greater control over the production and the ability to increase yields with more flexibility during unfavorable climatic conditions.
The plants can be cultivated with water (hydroponic technique) and the same water can be used for aquaponics (fish farming technique). Another technique is aeroponics, which includes the growing of plants by spraying the roots with a nutrient-rich water solution which is still a nascent technology.
To summarize, soil-less farming is increasing in the agricultural practice due to following reasons:
