Mobile Grow Racks Boost Hydroponic Production Up To 30%
Mobile Grow Racks for Hydroponic Farms
Hydroponics is a rapidly growing area of interest within the commercial food production industry. Unlike traditional farming, hydroponic farms grow plants and herbs without soil. Instead, crops are grown in a mineral nutrient solution in a water solvent.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, microgreens and culinary herbs are among the crops most frequently grown using hydroponics. As this growing method continues to rise in popularity, farmers are experimenting with new types of crops as well.
The Rise of Hydroponic Farming
Despite the recent uptick in popularity, hydroponic farming is not a new concept. During World War II, the U.S. army used hydroponics to grow fresh vegetables for troops stationed abroad on various Pacific Islands.
As climate conditions become more extreme and unpredictable over time—leading to droughts, freezes and heat waves—decreased crop yields are a growing concern. At the same time, vegetable prices are continuing to rise.
In response, restaurants, grocery stores and end-consumers are increasingly turning to hydroponic farmers to meet demand.
In fact, many experts believe this high-tech growing method may be the way of the future, and the key to solving issues such as food insecurity, malnutrition and hunger.
