2. Hydroponic Agriculture
Hydroponic agriculture is the cultivation of crops under greenhouse conditions with their roots immersed in a nutrient rich solution (water)
Hydroponics allow the plants roots to come in direct contact with the nutrient solution, while also having access to oxygen
The solution can be delivered through flooding, misting and spraying, drippers, and trickling down systems
Water is reused and recycled through the system after being oxygenated and cleaned

3. Examples Of Hydroponic Agriculture
The Six Types of Hydroponic Systems
Drip System
Ebb- Flow (Flood & Drain)
N.F.T. (Nutrient Film Technique)
Water Culture
Aeroponics
Wick System
Companies like Mirai and Spread in Japan, Growing Underground By Zero Carbon Food in the United Kingdom, and Brightfarms in New York are using hydroponic systems in greenhouses and even indoors to grow food.

4. Pros And Cons Of Hydroponics
Increased productivity – develop faster, all year round
Eco-friendly – water is recycled and soil pests are not present
Good for areas struggling with traditional farming
Reduced transportation – grown closer to consumers
Cons:
Expensive – set up and running/power fees
Vulnerable to power failures
Need for expertise and constant monitoring
