“…Hydroponics allows for the cultivation of a wide range of crops. The yield, taste, and nutritional value of crops grown hydroponically are often superior to those grown naturally in soil [12]. Hydroponics is now a wellestablished discipline of agricultural research [13].…”

Currently, hydroponics, a soilless production method, promises to deliver high quality, nutritious, fresh, residue-free crops, overcoming the problems of climate change, freshwater shortage, necessity of fertile land, and the overwhelming requirement of the expanding food demand. Hydroponics production is now garnering prominence across the world because of its effective resource management and cultivation of high value crops. Developed nations like Netherlands, Australia, France, England, Israel, Canada, and the United States are among the world leaders in hydroponic innovation/cultivation. Certain advantages of this technology include shorter crop growth times than traditional crop soil-based, year-round output, low disease, and insect attack, and removal of several labour-intensive intercultural procedures such as weeding, spraying and watering. Nutrient film technique has been successfully employed in the large-scale cultivation of leafy and other vegetables across the world with water savings of 70 to 90%. Commercial hydroponic technology must be successfully implemented, thus it's essential to devise low-cost methods that seem to be simple to use and sustain, need less manpower altogether, and have reduced installation and function costs. Therefore, hydroponics could represent a superior approach to grow various fruits, vegetables, and livestock feed in addition to fulfil the upcoming need for world nutrition.

“…Hydroponics nowadays is emerging as an alternative method of growing fodder for farm animals due various constraints and challenges encountered in the traditional fodder cultivation (Bekuma, 2019;Girma & Gebremariam, 2018;Jan et al, 2020). Hydroponic fodder production involves growing of plants in a greenhouse or polyhouse without soil but in a water-or nutrient-rich solution for a short period of time (approx.…”

Agriculture and animal husbandry are culturally, religiously, and economically intertwined with the intricate fabric of human society, as mixed farming and livestock rearing are a vital element of rural life (Dagar, 2017). Draught power, rural transportation, manure, fuel, milk and meat all are provided by livestock, which is quite often the only source of monetary revenue for subsistence farmers and also act as insurance against the crop failure. It also directly affects the livelihood and food security of nearly a billion people around the world and affects the diet and health of many more (Downing et al., 2017;Hurst et al., 2005). For millennia, livestock has been a symbol of wealth and power across civilizations, and India is lucky to have the world's largest and most diverse livestock population. Around 70% of households rely on the livestock and agriculture sector for their livelihood (Ghosh et al., 2016). According to the 20th Livestock Census -2019, India's total livestock population is 535.82 million, up by 4.6% from the previous Census in 2012. Cattle, buffalo, mithun and yak make up the 302.82 million bovine populations. It is home to 57.3% of the world's buffalo population and 14.7% of the world's cattle population. In the country, there are around 74.26 million sheep and 148.8 million goats (20th Livestock Census-2019, 2019).

“…Many agricultural and horticultural crops are grown with water based culture and substrate based culture . Water based culture and substrate based culture increase feasibility of soilless production of vegetable crops such as tomato, chili, brinjal, green bean, bell pepper, cauliflower, cucumber, melons, radish, onion, lettuce, beet, winged beans, water spinach, spinach, coriander, etc. , Water based culture and substrate based culture are now practiced in commercial crop production under vertical farming also .

Soilless culture is emerging as a popular tool to grow agricultural and horticultural crops in open systems, closed systems, protected cultivation, vertical farming, and soil affected or stress-affected areas. The climatic factors and biometabolism are integrated in stimulating quality phenological growth and biochemical and physiological processes in soilless crop production. Soilless crop production (SCP) has immense potential to build a soilless green revolution and for sustaining crop production. Information on substrate and water based culture collected for the period from 1996 to 2022 is reviewed and analyzed in this work. The performance of crops in soilless culture improves morphological and physiological parameters compared with soil based cultivation. The distinct environmental factors positively influence soilless culture to exhibit cellular processes, biological processes, molecular processes, and the ecosystem in the crop. The impacts of ecological factors are more efficient in closed systems compared with open systems. The salient features of metabolites and biometabolism in substrate based media were identified with transcriptome analysis and found to be different compared with soil based cultivation. Developing simple nutrient formulations suited for soilless culture is essential to popularize this technology among marginal farmers.
