The dependence of traditional agriculture on monsoon, the rising fuel costs, inadequate infrastructure, and fluctuating food prices have sparked interest in hydroponic farming. It is a farming technique in which crops are grown in nutrient-rich water rather than soil, by controlling nutrients, light, and temperature. They are located close to cities, enable year-round production, increase yield, and reduce transportation losses. This farming technique can widen the technological gap and increase income inequality within the agriculture sector. Supportive institutions, training programs, and microfinance initiatives can ensure the success of the modern farming system in India.
