hydroponics

Grains are not typically grown in hydroponics apart for their use as fodder.

Moving away from tradition, hydroponics skips soil completely to grow crops in nutrient-rich water, often indoors where every aspect can be controlled to maximize yield.

"With changes in climate crops fail. So I decided to use the technique of hydroponics - cultivation without soil."

While more expensive up front, hydroponics offer a more controlled growing environment to ensure higher yields and protect your plants against extreme or unpredictable weather as the climate changes.

The farm at Luther Jackson uses aquaponics technology, combining the methods of hydroponics, growing plants with water rather than soil, and aquaculture, the process of growing and raising fish.
