How do hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics work?

In hydroponic system, plants are grown in water instead of soil. Mineral solutions

hydroponic and aquaculture systems, which grows plants and fish together in one
unified system. The Aeroponics is an alternative form of gardening that does not require
soil or water as a medium for growing. In this style of gardening, the plants survive with
the roots exposed to the air. A light mist of water and other nutrients is sprayed on the
roots regularly to keep the plants alive.

efficiency and reduces waste and pollution. You can grow organic produce without
pesticides or GMOs and you can do it within major population centers so it is fresher
