Hydroponic produce
Hydroponics is a technique of growing plants in a basin of water filled with nutrients. It can grow without the limitations of soil, space, and climate. Vertical farming follows the same concept. This idea is also used by several supermarkets and can transform the way we shop for fruit and veggies. The Metro supermarket in Berlin is one of the first to adopt this kind of technology. The greens and herbs are growing inside their store itself, in glowing modular boxes. In Australia, supermarket giant Woolworths has also tapped into the concept. The new flagship store in Sydney kept the hydroponic ‘living lettuce’ in the fresh food section. They spray the vegetables until a customer picks them out of the water.
