It is stated that the unconscious use of chemicals in traditional agriculture causes changes in soil structure and negatively affects soil fertility. It is also emphasized that precautions must be taken to meet food demands due to increasing world population. Recently, soilless agriculture research as an alternative solution has been increasing due to its advantages such as saving labor, time and water, reducing use of herbicides/pesticides, and eliminating microbiological problems. However, attempts are being made to reduce high costs that are a disadvantage. In some countries, there are centers where vertical farming practices are carried out to support urban agriculture. Lately, topics such as growing plants in space and space farms regarding vertical farming applications are also popular. There are products that have been successful in projects carried out by NASA. It is aimed to take studies further with advantages of technology by examining damages that may occur due to the effect of microgravity. Moreover, in the field of gastronomy, soilless/vertical agriculture has recently come to the fore in terms of sustainability. It is seen that restaurants where small-scale production is carried out by applying these techniques come to the fore. In this review, these issues will be examined in detail.

Topraksız tarım teknolojileri gelecek için sürdürülebilir bir çözüm mü?

Öz

Geleneksel tarımda bilinçsiz kimyasal kullanımının toprak yapısında değişikliklere yol açarak, toprak verimliliğini olumsuz yönde etkilediği belirtilmektedir. Ayrıca gittikçe artan dünya nüfusu nedeniyle gıda taleplerinin karşılanması için önlemlerin alınması gerekliliği de vurgulanmaktadır. Son yıllarda, alternatif bir çözüm olarak topraksız tarım araştırmaları; iş gücü, zaman, su tasarrufu sağlanması, herbisit/pestisit kullanımının azalması, mikrobiyolojik sıkıntıların ortadan kalkması gibi avantajları olduğu için artmaktadır. Öte yandan, dezavantaj olarak yüksek maliyetlerin düşürülmesi için de girişimlerde bulunulmaktadır. Bazı ülkelerde kentsel tarımın desteklenmesi amacıyla dikey tarım uygulamalarının yapıldığı merkezler bulunmaktadır. Son dönemlerde dikey tarım uygulamaları ile ilgili olarak uzayda bitki yetiştirilmesi, uzay çiftlikleri gibi başlıklar da popülerdir. NASA’nın yürüttüğü projelerde başarıya ulaşılmış olan ürünler bulunmaktadır. Mikro yerçekimi etkisi ile oluşabilecek hasarlar incelenerek, çalışmaların teknolojinin avantajlarıyla daha da ileri götürülmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca, gastronomi alanında da topraksız/dikey tarım sürdürülebilirlik açısından son zamanlarda ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu tekniklerin uygulanarak küçük ölçekli üretimlerin yapıldığı restoranların ön plana çıktığı görülmektedir. Bu derlemede bu konular detaylı olarak irdelenecektir.
