hydroponic farm

Water-fed growing facility

A hydroponic farm grows plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water solutions instead.

The roots sit in water or inert materials like gravel or clay pellets while receiving controlled doses of minerals.

Hydroponic farms range from small indoor setups to large commercial operations, prized for year-round production and efficient water use: The hydroponic farm supplies lettuce to local restaurants even in winter.
