In
conclusion, increasing levels of carbon monoxide in
the earth’s atmosphere are creating an increase
in the earth’s temperature. The “Greenhouse
Effect” is causing rapid climate changes. Temperature
and precipitation changes are occurring as a result.
In some areas the land is becoming less suitable for
farming and, famine is becoming a greater threat to
the world’s populations. |
 The former director of NASA has stated that hydroponics are the most suitable way to grow plants for supplying oxygen during space travel. |

Hydroponics
may be one solution to world hunger. The advantages
of hydroponics include crop production where no suitable
soil exists, lower energy requirements, greater crop
yield, more efficient use of water and fertilizer, and
less pesticide use. This experiment has shown that hydroponics could be a viable method of agriculture. However, as the failures of some aspects of this experiment shows, new methods often require re-education and training. Culture and economics may hinder the development of hydroponics as a community’s agricultural method of food production. It might be best to begin with a lower level of production in order to gain experience in hydroponics. |
