This term may be green to some but it has actually been around since the first century.

 

This form of agriculture translates into delivering plants the necessary nutrients without the use of soil. This soil-less approach relies on various mediums that replace the functions of the soil.

 

As the roots are submerged into a nutrient-dense solution, they do not need to compete with other biodiversity found in soils. This allows plants to absorb nutrients more efficiently and avoids the incidence of pests as well as contaminants.
