You can grow plants without land: in water or in the air. NASA discovered it. How it could revolutionize the agricultural sector

vegetables growing without dirt

It would be crazy if in a period like this where everyone’s materials cost much more (food products too) all of us could grow vegetables in our living room (without dirt). And that’s exactly what NASA is studying and developing.

As you probably know, many scientific discoveries are the result of the work of research aimed at space missions. Like pumps that are implanted in the sick hearts of some people. The image sensors of cell phone cameras, GPS, or even systems for filtering and recovering water from humidity.

Soon — thanks to space research — we will be able to grow tomatoes, zucchinis, basil, sage, and other plant species in containers no bigger than a mini-fridge. Growing the seedlings not in the dirt but in water or even in the air.

That is, the earth, whether brown clay or red, which we have always been told is the place to plant the seeds, where the roots are, and where the trees grow, would become useless.

You got it right: useless for agriculture or the home garden.

I know it may seem really strange to you: but we are facing the future. To those scientific discoveries that revolutionize our way of life, the market for…
