Hydroponic Farming
Hydroponic farming is my personal business idea that I think will not only make me a fortune, but it will also cure world hunger. Hydroponic farming is a method to grow planets using a mineral, nutrient rich solution. It can be completely organic, pesticide free, and largely yields more produce than regular farming. For instance, an acre of potato farms may produce 2 tons of potatoes, while an acre of hydroponic potato farming yields 70 tons of potatoes! My idea, is to harness this technology and bring it straight to the grocery store. If we made stackable, tractor-trailer size pods of hydroponic farms, grocery stores could have fresh produce all of the time. Mini pods could be used in coffee houses and the coffee shops could have super fresh coffee beans. This would reduce costs of shipping and increase the amount of organic, fresh produce in the market. The pods wouldn't need much more than water and electricity to run after the initial set up. Furthermore, not only would our society benefit, for every 10 that are purchased, 1 will be sent to a country in need.
