What is Hydroponic Farming?

PRELIMS BITS: BASIC SCIENCE

Hydroponic farming is a soil-less method using nutrient-rich water to grow plants. In Tripura, it has shifted from small systems to larger setups (up to 560 sq meters) growing crops like lettuce, strawberries, and marigolds. It helps farmers overcome challenges from floods and adverse weather.

Benefits
Hydroponics maximizes space, allowing high crop yields in limited areas, and provides sustainable farming options for farmers with small land.

Government Support
The Tripura government invested ₹55 lakh in hydroponics, aiming for returns in 3-5 years, supporting farmers’ financial stability and income growth.
