Book excerpt: Among modern methods of growing crops, Hydroponics occupies a special place as an environmentally friendly, resource-saving, and high potential technology. Its further development and improvement of which will help solve the global problems of mankind, including the most significant among them - providing food to an ever-growing number of people on our planet. If at the beginning of the twentieth century, the population of the Earth was 1.5 billion people, today it has exceeded 7.6 billion. This situation requires a further increase in productivity in the agricultural sector, which, in the context of the application of traditional technologies, has led to the intensive use of fertilizers and pesticides that saturate the soil with unsafe chemicals. Due to climate change, vast areas set aside for agriculture suffer from drought. Genetically modified products cannot fully provide for the consumer market, and their effect on our body cannot be considered fully understood. All these factors confirm the need to search for new, more effective methods of growing crops, one of which is hydroponics. The history of the emergence of hydroponics is associated with centuries of research by scientists, as a result of which a huge number of experiments were carried out that made it possible to determine the optimal balanced nutritional composition to ensure the vital activity of plants. As it turned out, the soil environment for crops is not necessary, and the most important elements in their nutrition are now known. Plants successfully grow and develop if their root system is in contact with an aqueous medium containing all the necessary substances. This fact became fundamental for the development of hydroponics as a new method of crop production. I am certain that you will want to learn about this "idea of the future". The leaders in this area are countries such as the Netherlands, France, Great Britain, Israel, Canada, and Australia, where for several decades, experiments have been carried out to search and develop more advanced methods of soilless cultivation that are adapted to local conditions and meet certain requirements of the consumer market. With respect to planting without soil, whether for business, for personal consumption, for leisure, or aesthetic purpose, this book holds in it all the details you need. Even if you have an idea of hydroponic systems, the totalistic nature of the content in this book will provide you with more than several good ideas that you can, and should be using. Take a quick look at some of the details I mention and discuss: How hydroponic gardening works Why plant growth may stop How to build your own hydroponic system Clarification of understandings of different types of hydroponic gardens Hydro pots for ornamental plants Greenhouse and greenhouse lightning The different types of hydroponic systems and their pros and cons Choosing the right hydroponic system Starting a hydroponics business Choosing the right site for your garden Nutrient concentration control Hydroponic "life hacks" Tips and tricks to growing healthy herbs, vegetables and fruits?

Book excerpt: Do you want to grow your own vegetables, fruits, and herbs, but don't have so much space outside?Are you tired of having to spend money on fruit and vegetables, with the risk that they are genetically modified and treated with pesticides and toxic chemicals?Do you want to know how to start growing plants through an environmentally friendly method? Among modern methods of growing crops, Hydroponics occupies a special place because of the many benefits it offers. It is nothing more than means the cultivation of plants without soil but in water. And the water is enriched with nutrients. The history of the emergence of hydroponics is associated with centuries of research by scientists, as a result of which a huge number of experiments were carried out that made it possible to determine the optimal balanced nutritional composition to ensure the vital activity of plants. As it turned out, the soil environment for crops is not necessary plants successfully grow and develop if their root system is in contact with an aqueous medium containing all the necessary substances. This fact became fundamental for the development of hydroponics as a new method of crop production. Through hydroponics, you no longer have to worry about removing weeds, and fighting pests in the soil. Plants that grow in a hydroponic system are healthier and grow faster. Another advantage is that through specific extensions, a hydroponic system can also be supplied semi-automatically or fully automatically. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for those who do not have a large garden, guaranteeing perfect results. Hydroponics is important as its further development and improvement of which will help solve the global problems of humankind, including the most significant among them - providing food to an ever-growing number of people on our planet. All these factors confirm the need to search for new, more effective methods of growing crops, one of which is hydroponics.

Book excerpt: "The vertical farm is a world-changing innovation whose time has come. Dickson Despommier's visionary book provides a blueprint for securing the world's food supply and at the same time solving one of the gravest environmental crises facing us today."--Sting Imagine a world where every town has their own local food source, grown in the safest way possible, where no drop of water or particle of light is wasted, and where a simple elevator ride can transport you to nature's grocery store - imagine the world of the vertical farm. When Columbia professor Dickson Despommier set out to solve America's food, water, and energy crises, he didn't just think big - he thought up. Despommier's stroke of genius, the vertical farm, has excited scientists, architects, and politicians around the globe. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Despommier explains how the vertical farm will have an incredible impact on changing the face of this planet for future generations. Despommier takes readers on an incredible journey inside the vertical farm, buildings filled with fruits and vegetables that will provide local food sources for entire cities. Vertical farms will allow us to: - Grow food 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - Protect crops from unpredictable and harmful weather - Re-use water collected from the indoor environment - Provide jobs for residents - Eliminate use of pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides - Drastically reduce dependence on fossil fuels - Prevent crop loss due to shipping or storage - Stop agricultural runoff Vertical farms can be built in abandoned buildings and on deserted lots, transforming our cities into urban landscapes which will provide fresh food grown and harvested just around the corner. Possibly the most important aspect of vertical farms is that they can built by nations with little or no arable land, transforming nations which are currently unable to farm into top food producers. In the tradition of the bestselling The World Without Us, The Vertical Farm is a completely original landmark work destined to become an instant classic.

If yes, then keep reading. Hydroponic gardening is your significance of growing plants without using soil. Hydroponic plants have been developed in soapy solutions. All these water solutions comprise the majority of the minerals and additives for plants to grow. Typically, you can develop hydroponic plants directly from the nutrient solution. Alternately plants may be implanted in an inert growing medium like coconut fibers, rock wool, growing stone, etc. Hydroponic growing isn't only a favorite hobby pastime; nevertheless, it has become a flourishing small business. When the gardening abilities and methods are mastered precisely, it's possible to literally grow any plant since you need with the hydroponic procedure. By means of a semi-automatic system, you can simply establish a hydroponic garden or halfway within your home or on the roof top. When hydroponic gardening procedure is required on a huge scale, this can grow to be an extremely productive means to make plants for commercial usage. Unlike developing plants using traditional soil gardening, the main system of blossom plants doesn't need to look for minerals and nutrients from land. All of the naturally-occurring minerals and nutrients are given in the nutrition solution, readily to be furnished into the origin system. For that reason, plants can concentrate on top growth to create more blossoms and fruits as opposed to implementing energy to look for nourishment. In hydroponic gardening, both carbon and oxygen compounds will also be supplied into the nutrient solution to improve the uptake of nutrients by the main systems. This can help to market faster growth levels and wholesome development of these plants. Besides that, you'll also possess significantly less problem with plant pest and diseases if growing plants together with hydroponic procedures. Because the majority of the plant pest and diseases problems are connected by means of dirt. This book covers the following topics: What is Hydroponics? How Hydroponic Garden works Different types of Hydroponic Garden Best Plants for Hydroponic Gardening The Growth Medium Features of a Hydroponic System Different types of Hydroponic System Choosing the right Hydroponic System Equipment Choosing the right Site for your Garden How to build your own Hydroponic System Plant Nutrition System Maintenance Common Problems and Troubleshooting Safeguards Hydroponic plants would be those that are increased in water. This system is becoming more and more popular nowadays because they usually do not require considerable quantities of water gear and also farm lands which are extraordinarily fertile. Home gardeners and hobby farmers make use of this approach to grow more vegetables during the season. There are a lot of explanations as to why hydroponic plants have gotten so common.

This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frontiers of technologies have been constantly expanded in many industries around the world, including the agricultural sector. Among many “frontier technologies” in agriculture, are protected agriculture, precision agriculture, and vertical farming, all of which depart substantially from many conventional agricultural production methods. It is not yet clear how these technologies can become adoptable in developing countries, including, for example, South Asian countries like India. This paper briefly reviews the issues associated withthese three types of frontier technologies. We do so by systematically checkingthe academic articleslisted in Google Scholar, which primarily focus on these technologies in developing countries in Asia. Where appropriate, a few widely-cited overview articles for each technology were also reviewed. The findings generally reveal where performances of these technologiescan be raised potentially, based on the general trends in the literature. Where evidence is rich, some generalizable economic insights about these technologies are provided. For protected agriculture, recent research has focusedsignificantly on various features of protective structures (tunnel heights, covering materials, shading structures, frames and sizes) indicating that there are potentials for adaptive research on such structures to raise the productivity of protected agriculture. The research on protected agriculture also focuses on types of climate parameters controlled, andenergy structures, among others. For precision agriculture, recent research has focused on the spatial variability of production environments, development of efficient and suitable data management systems, efficiency of various types of image analyses and optical sensing, efficiency of sensors and related technologies, designs of precision agriculture equipment, optimal inputs and service uses, and their spatial allocations, potentials of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and nano-technologies. For vertical farming, research has often highlighted the variations in technologies based on out-door / indoor systems, ways to improve plants’ access to light (natural or artificial), growing medium and nutrient / water supply, advanced features like electricity generation and integration of production space into an office / residential space, and water treatment. For India, issues listed above may be some of the key areas that the country can draw on from other more advanced countries in Asia, or can focus in its adaptive research to improve the relevance and applicability of these technologies to the country.
