2. Hydroponic farming is the science of growing
fruits, vegetables and plants without the use
of soil. The term "hydroponic" comes from two
Greek terms; ‘hydros’ means water and
‘ponos’ means work.
Hydroponic is a division of hydroculture,
which’s the cultivating of plants in a soil-free
medium or a water-based setting. Hydroponic
growing employs mineral nutrient solutions to
nourish the plants in water, without the use of
soil.

7. hydroponics market will be worth $27.29
billion by the year 2022.
90 percent of lettuce and tomatoes that are
being grown in the US and Canada are
being grown using hydroponics.
As the population of the world keeps
growing, hydroponics becomes a more
viable substitute for traditional farming.
8. take only 25 percent of the area used by
traditional soil growing, for the same
amount of crops
Hydroponics will be essential Due to Its
Features
Less Space- 25%, No Herbicides, No
insecticides and pesticides ,No
intercultural operation, Vertically Grown,
No need of Land
