Solving Food Insecurity and Agricultural Challenges with Hydroponics
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.58445/rars.333Abstract
In the face of an ever-expanding global population and the impending threat of food insecurity, the limitations of conventional agricultural methods have become evident. However, hydroponics–a crucial agricultural development–could present a sustainable and efficient solution to address the challenges posed by overpopulation. By cultivating food in smaller
spaces with higher yields, hydroponics offers a potential remedy to improve food security and nourish the world. This research paper delves into the impact of hydroponics in Ontario, and provides insights into hydroponics' potential to reduce water consumption, mitigate environmental impact, and optimize land use. This paper will also provide lessons for enhancing traditional agriculture's sustainability. Ultimately, this comparison enables informed decisions and promotes environmentally conscious approaches to crop production, fostering a resilient and ecologically harmonious future.
