Dryland farming has evolved as a set of techniques and management practices to adapt to limited availability of water, as in the Western US and other regions affected by climate change for crops such as tomato and maize.
Hydroponics offers many advantages, notably a decrease in water usage in agriculture. To grow 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of tomatoes using intensive farming methods requires 214 liters (47 imp gal; 57 U.S. gal) of water; [9] using hydroponics, 70 liters (15 imp gal; 18 U.S. gal); and; only 20 liters (4.4 imp gal; 5.3 U.S. gal) using aeroponics.
