  1. The downside of hydroponics is that you have to purchase “plant food” or
    nutrients and supplements that are more costly.

  7. Those crazy Japanese.. always figuring out more efficient ways of doing
    things. The problem I see with this setup is the lack of labor. Labor is
    needed so people have jobs so they can buy the produce. No jobs = no money
    = no reason to grow in the first place.

  8. A fascinating automated hydroponic farm that requires very little labor and
    no worker experience (until it breaks).

  11. Great, but these vegetables contain no micronutrients like selenium,
    copper, zinc, etc. The only food they get is based on liquid fertilizer.

  12. Aquaponics/hydroponics is an amazing system because it save a lot of time,
    man power and even it provide a fully nutritional product with
    required nutrients

  14. Efficient, yes, labour-saving, yes, nutritious produce – NO !!! To function
    properly the human body needs around 60 different minerals, all of which
    come from the soil, not from some liquid concoction made in a
    factory/laboratory. If I had the choice, I will never ever buy such
    produce, never !!!

  18. Hydroponic taste better too,the lettuce does.It’s so crisp and fresh that I
    can eat it without dressing,no bitter or medicine taste.I could even regrow
    it because the roots are still intact.Only thing is it’s expensive,and most
    is not grown organically.I’m going to grow my own hydro food,organically.

  20. The genetic make up of soil and hydroponic grown vegetables are identical,
    the nutritional content is very similar if not identical. The difference is
    that hydroponics provide more flexibility in regard to where and when
    plants are grown, and the speed at which they’re grown. If you prefer soil,
    enjoy 🙂

  25. The beautiful thing about many hydroponic systems is the plants and open
    atmosphere naturally oxygenize the water. The plants then feed the fish,
    which then provide nutrients to it all. Some of the best hydroponic systems
    are almost a complete ecosystem.
