Hydroponics farms are marketed as being more water efficient, producing less water strain, than traditional farms based on their on-farm water usage. Left out of the discussion is the fact that hydroponic farms require much more energy to operate than traditional farms. For eggplant production these values are: Energy Required and Water Footprint of Eggplant Production On Farm Water Footprint (m3/tonne eggplant) Required Energy (MJ/tonne eggplant) Eggplant Hydroponic 234 90. Eggplant Traditional 362 1.1 Both types of farms are powered by natural gas power plants with water footprint of 1.3 m3/MJ. Determine the total (on farm + required energy) virtual water footprint of eggplant for both hydroponic and traditional eggplant production. In a couple of sentences, use your results to take and defend a position on whether the marketing about hydroponic farms is greenwashing and how hydroponics farming affects water strain.  The NRDC (National Resource Defense Council) defines greenwashing as “the act of making false or misleading statements about the environmental benefits of a product or practice.”
