Abstract
The inexorable movements of growing population, increasing water stress, urbanization, and persistent global warming are greatly responsible for the reduction in the availability of cultivable land in the Arabian Peninsula countries where successful soil crop cultivation practically depends on scarce resources - water for irrigation. Consequently, the stakeholders are battling global food security and how to conveniently feed the persistent growing global population expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. Overcoming this predicament to have a bountiful harvest, improved technology as hydroponic systems is needed. The hydroponic systems result in higher yield and mitigate environmental issues associated with productions. The system’s advantages include cleanliness, pests and drought control, and year round production. The concerned issues alongside benefits and limitations are evaluated in this review.
