Hydroponics, cultivation without land will feed the planet in the future.

Hydroponics is the art of growing plants without the need for land, they are cultivated with aqueous solutions with or without substrates and it is the technology of the future, it is the technology that will feed the world. With a liter of water in conventional agriculture only 7 grams of tomato are produced, but with the same liter of water with the hydroponics system can produce up to 35 grams of tomato.

The cultivation of hydroponics can save up to 90% of water and 40% of nutrients, is less polluting than traditional agriculture when practiced in closed circuits. Hydroponics can be practiced anywhere in the world. They are already being installed in Greenland, the Middle East and the United States, so we are at the forefront of a technique that allows us to convert non-agricultural land into agricultural land, which contributes a lot to the countries' food independence and the reduction of emissions. CO2 since the transport of them is reduced.

Hydroponics is not a new system, it is a quality that all plants have to grow without needing land. This was already practiced in the gardens of ancient Babylon and is naturally practiced for centuries in the lakes of Cambodia. What is currently implemented differently is to develop a cultivation system that imitates nature, mimics the way nature oxygenates water and converts it into good quality water and this is by means of movement, passing water through the roots of the plants causing that the oxygen and the nutrients arrive in real time to any plant of the installation.

It began to develop a system of cultivation in tubes, where after a more advanced machine called "H2hibrics" is implemented it complements the best of the two cultivation systems that are currently in hydroponics (which the company to create this machine is " H2hydroponics "); which has been achieved to reduce 80% of the volume of water that is needed and up to 30% of the electrical consumption compared with any of the crops that are currently on the market.

Basically you need 4 elements a support where the plant will go and the water will contain or drain can be tubes or rafts, another physical support that supports the plant, a deposit, a pump, makes the water recirculated from the cropping system and return to the tank.

Currently it has only focused on short cycle plants such as, lettuce, Swiss chard, chives and has also been tested with fruit plants having important successes such as tomatoes and peppers.


H2hydroponics currently has sales around 17 such odd countries as Greenland, Saudi Arabia, the United States of North America and a large part of South America. The H2hibrics is in patent process, another product they are developing is a system of control based on the data obtained by the system in real time of the greenhouse.

The future of agriculture will be a local agriculture so local that through hydroponics we will be producing our vegetables in our homes. This is already being seen today and 20 years from now it will be the day to day.
