Since the advent of civilization, the open field method of farming has been used for agriculture. In a country like India where agriculture yields about 23% of the GDP employing 59% (FAO 2018) of the total workforce, it is of significant importance that the farming techniques should be more up to date and that the country should take a stance on this serious issue. Day in and day out sustainability issues in land-based farming have been arising either due to poor harvest or because of insufficient profits caused by the lack of agricultural marketing. In such an environment, the paper thus explores hydroponics (a new farming technique) that can be implemented instead of geoponics (the traditional soil-based farming method).
