Abstract

Cultivating enough food to feed the world’s population comes with high environmental tag. “Agriculture is the backbone of India”. Food is the primary source of energy for every living organism in the world. Due to the increase in the population growth of world, the requirement of energy source and food need is rapidly increasing. This population rise leads to increase in industrialization and in need of comfortable living space. So, that the land area requirement is quite reducing for cultivation of agriculture produce. To meet the supply and demand, there is in need to increase the intensity of crop production with no compensation in quality and quantity of the produce. This paves a way for the soilless culture to meet the demand of food scarcity.
