Plants which grow in hydroponic gardens are synonymous with the industrial production of vegetable, which grow in artificial and precisely controlled conditions, protected from natural asymmetries. The result is predictable and safe. The vegetables are typically good looking and tasteless.

Yet the current climatic conditions presage harsher living conditions for all life forms on Earth. It may soon happen that organisms will be too exposed in the natural environment to develop without control. Ecological barriers are coming down and turning a blind eye to the causes is not even lucrative any more.

At the same time people are living in environments in which plants had never lived naturally. Crops thrive in artificial environments in the desert, in polar environments and in space, providing valuable lessons about them. However, they have long since ceased being the subject of farming or gardening. They are increasingly becoming the subject of science and technology.
