Farming Moves to Cities


With new technology, farming will be able to be moved to cities instead of rural areas. This method is called hydroponics -a method of cultivating plants in water instead of soil. With this method, farming can be moved to apartment buildings, rooftops, and even vacant lots. This could be good because it will eliminate the cost of trucks shipping food. However, the negative side of hydroponics is that the plants might not get enough light and heat.
