Some of the reasons why hydroponics is being adapted around the world for food production are the following:

• The water stays in the system and can be reused - thus, a lower water requirement
• It is possible to control the nutrition levels in their entirety - thus, lower nutrition requirements
• No nutrition pollution is released into the environment because of the controlled system
• Stable and high yields
• Pests and diseases are easier to get rid of than in soil because of the container's mobility
• Ease of harvesting
• No pesticide damage
