But there is a growing environmental and economic case for them, according to new research laying out radical ways of putting food on our plates. The interdisciplinary study combining biology and engineering sets down steps towards accelerating the growth of this branch of precision agriculture, including the use of aeroponics which uses nutrient-enriched aerosols in place of soil.
