Plants that grow in zero gravity onboard spacecraft in outer space grow differently than plants on the ground.
In some experiments the growth rate was accelerated making the plants grow faster.
Hydroponics and aeroponics have been developed which allow the plants to grow
without the need for soil.

Numerical control machines are very important for ease of advanced technology manufacturing.
In the future some advanced versions of these machines could enable people to make their own desktop computer from scratch in their garage or to more easily recycle material.
These include 3d printers and milling machines, cutters ,drills and grinders.

Aerogel is one of the most efficient heat insulators known. Its made by removing liquid from gel and replacing it with gas which results in a material structure able to withstand and reflect immense heat.

What if your shoe could "come alive" and shape itself to your foot? To suit your needs and respond to changes as they'd develop?
HyperAdapts; are the first generation of that kind of a shoe which can be bought in regular footwear stores. It may be expensive at first but as time goes on the prices may lower.
It was inspired by the mag shoes in the back to the future movies, which goes to show that incredible technological concepts seen in movies can inspire inventors to make them into real things.

Aquaculture works. That's when you use special techniques for farming fish and other water based life.
There's also aquaponics, which is about creating a balance between plants and water based life.
There's also hydroponics and aeroponics

These are all viable for producing crops but each have different focus points and methods
