Many countries such as the Netherlands, Canada and Australia have already adopted hydroponics farming extensively over the years. “Twenty-one per cent of tomatoes grown in Australia are with hydroponics,” he says. However, in India, farmers largely depend on conventional farming methods.

As the global population becomes more urban, cities are investing in more local food production systems that offer economic development opportunities and reduce a city’s carbon footprint. In a warehouse on the Near East Side of Indianapolis, Farm 360 are growing vegetables on a hydroponic system that is exclusively powered by renewable energy and uses 90 percent less water than traditional farming methods. The harvest is sold in local grocery stores while the farm supports dozens of living-wage jobs to residents of the neighborhood.

The young tomato seedling arrives ready to be put into the dirt right away, and it will thrive in garden beds, large planters boxes, or in individual pots. Within a period of two months after planting, you should begin to harvest your first delicious, nutritious homegrown Better Boy tomatoes. The plant will then continue producing tomatoes for a number of weeks, easily offsetting the cost many times over thanks to the bounty of food you reap.

You don’t have to be that far along the curve to take advantage of new tech, particularly in light of the labor pressures nearly every grower is feeling. Automation of some kind, whether it’s a basic greenhouse conveyor or a planter utilizing robotics and machine learning, is getting to be a must. You just need to match the proper technology to your needs.

In 5 years, we want to be highly visible on the Canadian and American markets, because these markets are rapidly developing in terms of new technologies in agriculture. In Europe, on the other hand, we want to be seen as experts in the field of lighting.

Behnke’s began as a simple roadside plant stand run by two German emigres, Albert and Rose Behnke, in the 1930s, when the D.C. suburbs were only just getting started. Workers in an expanding federal government were moving into their new neighborhoods of red-brick Cape Cods. Behnke’s thrived by furnishing all those new yards. By the time some of the founders’ children began to take the reins, Behnke’s was so popular that it employed traffic cops to direct weekend customers in and out of the 12-acre site off Route 1. At its height, the enterprise included large off-site plant production greenhouses, first in Largo and later in Lothian, Md.

We built six aquaponics systems side-by-side from experimentation at Purdue University and, though it continues to be a successful project, they have proved to be one of the most difficult systems to manage, requiring many specialists to build and a team effort to maintain. Here’s my take: Growing productive plants using hydroponics is difficult. Rearing fish indoors is hard. Putting both systems in the same space makes both of them more difficult, as the presence of fish makes nearly every pesticide off limits due to their sensitivity to chemicals. Putting them both in the same space and connecting them together in symbiosis in a way that can create a profit margin is nothing short of a feat. In my opinion, that is why we don’t see a lot of these operations.
