Lettuce grown in indoor vertical farming system. Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically and horizontally stacked layers. [1] It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimize plant growth, and soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics. [1]
The Recirculating Farms Coalition is a US trade organization for hydroponic farmers. [25] A 2020 survey of indoor plant farming in the U.S. [26] found that indoor production was: 26% leafy greens, 20% herbs; 16% microgreens; 10% tomatoes; 28% other

The Hoagland solution is a hydroponic nutrient solution that was newly developed by Hoagland and Snyder in 1933, [1] modified by Hoagland and Arnon in 1938, [2] and revised by Arnon in 1950. [3] It is one of the most popular standard solution compositions for growing plants , in the scientific world at least, with more than 21,000 citations ...
Semi-Hydroponics (Semi-Hydro or S/H) was the first passive hydroponic technique utilized for orchids, originating in the early 1990s, using Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) as a medium in solid-bottomed containers, into which one or two, small-diameter holes were placed in the sidewall, setting the depth of the internal reservoir.
