The Problems facing us today are: • Drought conditions and unpredictability of Climate and weather patterns.• Rising temperatures and radical shifts from historic profiles. • Pollution of rivers, means polluted water for agriculture.• Drying up of water sources both in-ground as well as on-ground. • Lack of irrigation water due to lack of canals.• Poor water management and lack of will to impose strictures.

 

Soilless agriculture can be performed in controlled environments and established virtually anywhere as it isn’t dependent on land space and fertility. Soilless agriculture addresses many of the concerns now we have about traditional or industrial agriculture. This is why soilless agriculture is the way of future growing in so many parts of the world that have little to no arable land.

The over-farming of the same land year after year led to the increased need for fertilizer and of course the necessity to protect crops from pests, weeds, and the elements. Agrichemicals were developed and sold to farmers as a vital component. These chemicals became a huge overhead cost for farm operations. These compounding costs combined with the effects of drought and climate change have negatively impacted the industrialized agriculture industry which is now faced with more challenges than ever before.
