This document discusses aeroponics as a tool for food security. Aeroponics is the practice of growing plants without soil, with roots in a misty environment. It has several benefits over traditional agriculture including more precise nutrient and environmental control, higher yields from less land, less water usage, and elimination of many plant diseases and pests. The document outlines the benefits and potential commercial applications of aeroponics in Nigeria, including opportunities to supply local and export markets with high-quality produce year-round. It also discusses factors like capital costs, skilled labor needs, and the lack of existing aeroponics industry organizations as potential weaknesses or barriers to adoption in Nigeria.
This document provides an overview of hydroponic technology. It begins with an introduction that defines hydroponics as the cultivation of plants without soil by using a nutrient-rich water solution. The document then covers the history of hydroponics, different hydroponic systems like wick, water culture and ebb & flow. It discusses the materials used, nutrient solutions, system requirements, and advantages like higher yields and fewer pests. The document concludes that hydroponics allows food to be grown in urban areas and increases crop yields.
