Hydroponics is a modern and innovative method of growing plants without soil. Providing optimal conditions, such as proper nutrition, lighting, climate control, water, and growing media, can result in higher yields and faster growth than traditional soil-based agriculture. However, setting up and running a hydroponic farm requires careful planning, monitoring, and management to ensure success, and there is still room for further improvement and development in the field.
