Abstract :
Open field/soil-based agriculture has faced
significant difficulties since the dawn of civilization, chief
among which is the decline in the amount of land
available per person, per capita land was 0.5 ha in 1960
when there were 3 billion people on the planet. Today,
there are 6 billion people, but that number will drop to
0.25 ha by 2050. Arable area under cultivation will
continue to shrink as a result of increased urbanisation,
industrialization, and iceberg melting. Once more, soil
fertility has reached a saturation point, and more
fertiliser application does not result in an improvement
in productivity. The production of food using traditional
soil-based agriculture is also threatened by factors such
as low soil fertility in some cultivable areas, reduced
chances of natural soil fertility build-up by microbes due
to continuous cultivation, frequent drought conditions,
unpredictable climate and weather patterns, rise in
temperature, river pollution, poor water management
and waste of enormous amounts of water
Keywords :
Soil less medium, Techniques of hydroponic systems, Pest control, water conservation, nutrient management, Hydroponic market.
