2. Introduction to Automated Hydroponics System
1) Hydroponics is a method of cultivation, where plants are grown in soilless media
using water and nutrient mixture.
2) In this system, water mixed with minerals and nutrients is exposed directly to the
roots of the plant that can be supported by various media like coco-peat, perlite etc.

3. Why Hydroponics
1) Growing Population 2) Increasing Food Demands 3) Climate Change
4) Deforestation 5) Global Warming 6) Infertile Soil

4. Land size of South America has Been Already
Cleared by Humans for agriculture.
70% of all fresh water is used for agriculture.

5. How Basic Hydroponics Works
1) Hydroponic systems work by allowing minute
control over environmental conditions like
temperature and pH balance and maximized
exposure to nutrients and water.
2) Hydroponics operates under a very simple
principle: provide plants exactly what they need
when they need it.
3) By controlling the environment of the plant,
many risk factors are reduced.
