Aquaponics

Aquaponics is a cooperation between plants and fish and the term originates from the two words aquaculture (the growing of fish in a closed environment) and hydroponics (the growing of plants usually in a soil-less environment).

Hydroponics

By: Ayla Farmand and Hania Kayani
Hydroponics means growing plants without soil by feeding their roots a water solution that contains all the nutrients they need. Engineers and farmers are studying hydroponics because it can save water, fit into cities using vertical racks, and deliver steady, fast growth by controlling nutrients and the environment. Across the world—from university labs to rooftop farms—people are testing these systems as a possible way to make food production more reliable when land and water are scarce.

Vertical Gardening

By: Miro Bonifacio and Joel Martinez
Hydroponics can strengthen local food supplies by producing fresh vegetables close to where people live, shortening delivery time and lowering spoilage. Research and policy briefs argue hydroponics makes sense in cities, drought-prone areas, and places with limited farmland because it increases yield per area and uses water more efficiently.
