soil-less farming

Soil-less farming, also known as hydroponics or soilless cultivation, involves growing plants without traditional soil. Instead, plants are supported in nutrient-rich water solutions or inert mediums like coconut coir or perlite that deliver essential nutrients directly to the roots. This method allows for precise control over nutrients, water, and environmental conditions, often leading to faster growth and higher yields. Soil-less farming is useful in areas with poor soil quality, limited space, or for sustainable, efficient food production. It reduces the need for pesticides and water compared to conventional farming, making it an innovative approach to agriculture.
