Hyrdoponics uses less than half of the water usually necessary for plant growth and produces as much as a 400% yield increase. Those two facts make the hydroponic solution attractive to those concerned with world hunger. By decreasing the need for often scarce water and increasing plant productivity, it may be possible to put a significant dent in world hunger, allowing for production of food in spots that are currently incapable of doing so in sufficient quantity. This potential has led many to being investigation of how we might use soil-less agriculture to feed the world.
