A hydroponic farm's fundamental concept is that water is used in place of soil
A hydroponic vegetable garden offers many advantages. They can help solve problems without excessive space or water use, produce high-nutrient vegetables, and produce vegetables faster than traditional growing methods. It seems pretty inevitable that this farming method will become a primary source of fruits and vegetables in the future.

Depending on the system, when combining hydroponics with vertical farming techniques, they can use up to 99% less land than typical farming techniques. The smaller footprint of hydroponic plants does not spread to search for nutrients and moisture.
