What is hydroponics?


In order to investigate the different energy consumption of electrical appliances in a hydroponics farm, we first must understand what exactly is hydroponics.

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, without soil.
A hydroponic farm is commercial in nature and it requires a lot of capital inputs.
It uses high technology equipment and produces high quality products.
It has limited negative impact on the environment as it uses less fertilizers and pesticides and more land and water resources are being conserved.
