Indoors are the future of farming
Use of Hydroponics
The available spaces in the cities are compensated with patches of green using hydroponics. The plants are grown using a nutrient solution in a water solvent. LEDs or UV rays are used instead of sunlight in order to speed up the plant’s growth. The speed of growth supersedes the traditional method of farming. The plants’ growth is induced by the amount of sunlight not only during the day but also in accordance with the necessity of the growth process. The Hydroponics system contributes to the conservation of water by allowing the water to be reused within the system of flow. Indoor farming also saves electricity.
