Question

How would you sell the idea of aeroponics to a farmer to grow vegetables who follows the traditional method of using soil to grow vegetables

Answer 1

Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium (known as geoponics. The word "aeroponic" is derived from the Greek meanings of  air and ponos  "labour". Aeroponic culture differs from both conventional hydroponics, aquaponics, and in-vitro (plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses a liquid nutrient solution as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth; or aquaponics which uses water and fish waste, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. It is sometimes considered a type of hydroponics, since water is used in aeroponics to transmit nutrients.
