Hydroponic farming:- farming without soil

 Hydroponic Farming: Soilless Farming Hydroponic farming is a soilless cultivation of plants that utilizes water-based solutions rich in nutrients to deliver key minerals directly to plant roots. The technique of farming is slowly being seen as a sustainable and effective alternative to conventional soil-based farming, especially with challenges including climate change, soil erosion, urbanization, and increased global food demand. Hydroponics has been particularly useful in areas with scarce arable land, low soil fertility, or water shortages. Historical Background:- However, the scientific basis for hydroponics emerged in the 19th century when researchers discovered that plants could absorb essential nutrients dissolved in water. In the 1930s, Dr. William F. Gericke of the University of California coined the term "hydroponics" from the Greek words hydro (water) and ponos (labor), marking the beginning of modern hydroponic science.
