aeroponic
Misted root cultivation
Aeroponic describes a method of growing plants without soil, where roots hang suspended in air and receive nutrients through a fine mist.
The technique uses less water than traditional farming and allows precise control over growing conditions: an aeroponic lettuce farm, aeroponic systems in vertical agriculture.
Compare hydroponic, which suspends roots in nutrient-rich water.
