Could hydroponic farms promote water conservation?
[La Sierra University student] Max Proebstle, who never thought he would find a personal interest in hydroponic farming … and about 20 other students have been volunteering their time inside the repurposed shipping container turned indoor hydroponic farm on campus. This method of growing crops replaces the need for soil with plant nutrients, artificial light and recirculating water. After working with the new tech system, Proebstle believes it could be a game-changer for the future of farming.
