During the last decade farmers all over the world have been shifting away from traditional methods and moving toward alternative farming methods and systems such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics. The agricultural sector is facing significant challenges in terms of energy, land, water, and fertilizers, but the major core concern that will affect all variables and, in particular, all systems is an increase in crop prices. For example, every increase in energy prices reduces the welfare of producers. Each increase in energy prices reduces producers' welfare by 0.6% to 1.4%. As a result, even minor increases in fuel prices have a direct impact on the total cost of a small or large-scale farm (fuels, fertilizers, sensors, grow lights, water pumps, automated systems). This critical issue will have a direct negative impact on the final pricing of consumer products, and all existing solutions will be unable to operate in the long run with such high prices.
