Hydroponics is a system of agriculture that utilizes nutrient-laden water rather than soil for plant nourishment. The re-use of nutrient water supplies makes process-induced eutrophication (excessive plant growth due to overabundant nutrients) and general pollution of land and water unlikely, since runoff in weather-independent facilities is not a concern. Aeroponic and hydroponic systems do not require pesticides, require less water and space than traditional agricultural systems, and may be stacked (if outfitted with led lighting) in order to limit space use (vertical farming). This makes them optimal for use in cities, where space is particularly limited and populations are high-self-sustaining city-based food systems mean a reduced strain on distant farms, the reduction of habitat intrusions, fewer food miles, and fewer carbon emissions.
Boosted by rising consumer demand owing to better health awareness and purchasing power, production of fruits and vegetables across India has increased this year with their total yield surpassing the production of food grains. India is also a prominent exporter of Fresh Vegetables in the world. The country has exported 6,99,600.34 MT of Fresh Vegetables other than Onion to the world for the worth of Rs. 2119.50 crores during the year 2015-16. India grows the largest number of vegetables from temperate to humid tropics and from sea-level to snowline. Thus, as an entrepreneur this project offers an exciting opportunity to you.
