2. Pegasus Agriculture And Its Green Farming Techniques
To Cut Down Carbon Footprint
Pegasus Agriculture, one of the largest operators of hydroponic farming
facilities in the Middle East and Northern Africa, implements better
technologies to prevent carbon footprint caused by agriculture. According to the
company, hydroponic farming could cut down the percentage of carbon foot
print, for which traditional farming is one among the major contributors.

3. Hydroponics is a farming method
of growing plants inside an
enclosed structure that uses a
medium other than soil and the
close regulation of lighting,
temperature, and nutrients to
optimize crop growth. It does not
require natural precipitation or
fertile land in order to be
effective.
The world is striving to adopt
diverse methods and means in
order to preserve the balance of
carbon dioxide that emits into
the atmosphere brought about
by modern technology. The
quantity of carbon in the air can
be brought down by planting
more plants, flowers and
vegetables using the method of
hydroponics.

4. The quantity of carbon in the air can be
significantly reduced by plants.
Therefore having more plants planted
can be a way of reducing your carbon
footprint in the world. Hydroponic
farming allows the farmers to cultivate
throughout the year, resulting in a
perpetual harvest. So the percentage of
produce grown both locally and
indoors is increasing on an annual
basis.
Continued innovation of hydroponic
cultivation systems will allow us to
maximize harvests and to effectively
cut down carbon footprint. Also the
hydroponic facilities are generally
located in urban areas and reducing
the need for long haul
transportation resulting in a drastic
reduction in carbon footprint.

5. Hydroponic systems do not require pesticides, require less water and space than
traditional agricultural systems, and may be stacked in order to limit space use.
This makes them optimal for use in cities; where space is particularly limited and
populations are high. Self-sustaining city-based food systems mean a reduced
strain on distant farms, the reduction of habitat intrusions, fewer food miles, and
fewer carbon emissions.

6. Urban hydroponic farming does not create the type of chemical run-off into our
streams, rivers and lakes being generated by industrial farming that is generating
lasting environmental damages. Hydroponics farming causes much lesser carbon
footprint conventional methods as the technique does not necessitate large
quantity of chemicals or fertilizthan the ers.
Environmental benefits of hydroponics are numerous, including conservation of
water from recycling reservoirs and less use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides,
herbicides, and fungicides.
