Is it true that aquaponics yield crops with a lower nutritional value than soil-agriculture?
Human ImpactAquaponics vs. Soil Agriculture: Is There a Nutritional Difference? Let’s Dig In. Aquaponics. It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, right? But it’s actually a pretty ingenious farming method that’s been gaining serious traction. Imagine combining fish farming with growing plants without any soil – that’s aquaponics in a nutshell i. It’s a

Does the diameter of the earth decrease because of soil subsiding due to irrigation and rainfall over the years?
Human ImpactStudying the effects of irrigation and rainfall on the diameter of the Earth The Earth’s diameter is a fundamental measure of the size of our planet, and understanding the factors that influence its variation is of great importance to both geoscientists and those involved in agriculture. One hypothesis that has been explored is the potential
