Hydroponic fodder, young tender grass grown from cereal grains in indoor systems, can grow animal feed using up to 98 percent less water than it would take to grow a comparable amount of calories in a field. Hydroponic fodder systems sow soaked grains, such as wheat or rye, into trays that are automatically watered.
