Hydroponics is a way of growing plants in water without the use of soil. This strategy can be tremendously beneficial to countries with poor land that cannot support agriculture. The goal of this lab is to show that hydroponics works. Arable area under cultivation will continue to decline as a result of increased urbanization and industrialization, as well as the melting of icebergs (an obvious effect of global warming). Again, soil fertility has reached a saturation point, and more fertilizer application does not result in greater productivity. In addition, inadequate soil fertility in some cultivable places, a reduced probability of natural soil fertility build-up by microbes due to continuous cultivation, frequent droughts, and the unpredictability of climate and weather patterns, Temperature rises, river pollution, poor water management and waste of large amounts of water, decline in ground water level, and other factors are threatening food production in traditional soil based agriculture. Under these conditions, feeding the entire world will become impossible in the near future. Plants are raised without soil in soil-less cultivation. Improved space and water-saving food production systems under soilless culture have demonstrated some promising outcomes around the world
