What is aeroponics?

Aeroponics refers to the technique of growing plants in a nutrient-rich mist or air, eliminating the need for soil altogether. This method allows the roots of the plants to be suspended in the air, where they can absorb moisture and nutrients directly from the mist, promoting faster growth and potentially higher yields compared to traditional soil-based methods.

Aeroponics stands out in agricultural practices, particularly for its efficiency in water usage and space, making it suitable for urban farming and environments where soil quality may be poor or non-existent. While options related to water-based environments might refer to hydroponics, they do not encompass the unique aspect of using mist or air, which is the hallmark of aeroponics. In contrast, the other options focus on methods that rely on soil or traditional agricultural practices and do not describe the aeroponic system's innovative approach.
