By 2050, we will be an estimated 10 billion people living on Earth. How will we feed ourselves? How will we keep our air clean?

One way we can do this is through hydroponics. Applied solutions like vertical farming enables us to grow delicious, nutritious food and remove toxins from the air while using less soil and space. In New York, people are already experimenting with integrating vertical farms into human-inhabited skyscrapers, so farm-fresh food is just down the hallway!

In this episode of Future Future, hosts Phnam Bagley and Mardis Bagley share the basics of hydroponics, and why it matters as we build a future where humans everywhere can thrive.
