Aquaponic Systems
Outcomes
Greenhouses are more viable for commercial operations
Soil-based farms sacrifice resource efficiency but save on energy costs and are able to produce a wider variety of crops
Soil-based, open air farms are profitable
Hydroponics is on the rise
Hydroponic systems are generally more resource/nutrient efficient but require large amounts of energy
Hydroponic yields are far greater than conventional systems
