=====12 Pros & Cons of Hydroponic Farming=====

[https://earth.org/hydroponic-farming/ by EARTH.ORG]

Nowadays, food-growing techniques depend heavily on pesticides and chemicals, which negatively impact the water and soil. Water and soil pollution, along with large-scale depletion of the topsoil, speed up climate change. Phenomena related to it are affecting the ability of the land to grow crops, leading to worldwide food shortages. In recent years, agricultural practices have seen a major shift towards sustainable food-growing methods, including permaculture, crop rotation, polyculture, and hydroponic farming. We take a look at the latter and ~~analyse~~ its potential benefits and disadvantages.

Hydroponic systems can be classified as either water-culture or medium-culture. Water culture systems do not use a medium to support the roots, only the nutrient solution. Medium culture systems use a solid substrate, such as sand, to support the plant root structure. Systems can be either open or closed. In an open system, the nutrient solution flows past the roots, and the solution is not recycled. In a closed system, the surplus nutrient solution is recovered, recharged and recycled through the system.
