Amidst water scarcity and diminishing arable land, some individuals in Egypt are transitioning to soilless farming. However, experts caution that the high initial costs and certain crop limitations may impede widespread adoption in the African nation. Soilless agriculture, also known as hydroponics, involves cultivating plants using nutrient-rich water outside the traditional soil, typically within controlled greenhouses. Soilless substrates like sand, gravel, clay, foam, or sponge provide support for plant roots. In certain applications, fish tanks are integrated into the system to transfer nutrient-rich animal waste to plants cultivated in water. A 2020 WWF report revealed that hydroponics utilizes only 10...

With our current rate of expansion, it’s possible that the Earth’s population could reach 10 billion by 2057. While this is an exciting prospect, it’s also a daunting one. The rapid increase in population poses significant challenges to global food security, particularly in regions with limited resources. As the demand for food grows, it’s crucial to develop sustainable and innovative agricultural practices that can meet these needs without causing further harm to the planet. Hydroponics offers a promising alternative to the troublesome techniques of traditional farming methods, providing a potential answer to this challenge. Benefits of Hydroponics Hydroponic farming is a...
