RE: Using Hydroponics to Meet Grass-fed Demands

in #hydroponics7 years ago

When I was growing up, my family did rotational grazing... in a cold climate. So I can definitely understand the appeal of growing grass year round. I imagine it would be labor intensive, because with grazing the animal goes to the grass and harvests it. With hydroponics, people (or robots) have to do the harvesting.

Sort:  

Also, I doubt the nutritional value of hydroponics is the same as soil grown grass. It's still very interesting and I'm looking forward to more people experimenting with this.

@matthewdavid I feel that you may have a point there as most fertilizers in hydroponics are synthetic. However if this is done in an aquaponics system different rules apply. Grow fish and plants in a looped symbiotic system no better way exists to grow food..
