TV show The 100 has a hydroponic farm, underground, under lights. I -think- the problem is they have no nutrients but they keep using terms that better relate to soil growing. So the solution in the TV show is to grow algae and feed the algae to the plants. Evidently, while they have virtually no living plants they do have a single batch of algae. Does this make sense at all?
Seems to me they have like 1000 people and lots of folk die in their criminal justice system. I would think they could just sort of compost human bodies and waste products. If they wanted to stick to the hydroponic set up, they could use compost tea.
On another SF show, Stargate Universe, they depicted hydroponics where the plants rotated vertically around the light source. Looked into that one and evidently it exists.
So am wondering, what do you think the future of food production is? Hydroponics, Aquaponics, something else?
