Hydroponic farming is being considered a revolution in the farming or agriculture industry because of its capability to produce surplus food. Most young people are not interested in being the subsistence farmers of the future especially after being educated in other disciplines. But they do want to be future farmers if technology is involved in the production and they can adopt these technologies to live closer to urban environments where they can have a better quality of life than in the rural past.
As our ability to understand the environmental costs of farming on land increases, we become more capable of developing technologies that ensure farming is more productive, less damaging to the environment, and adaptable to our lifestyle. We will teach you how to use 75% less land (aerial) and 90% less water to produce 4 times as much as a traditional farm in the same space.
Hydroponics is the cultivation of plants without using soil but liquid or another medium such as coarse sand, coconut fiber, rock wool, and sawdust. Soilless culture systems are commonly known as hydroponic systems and can be further divided into open systems, where the surplus nutrient solution is not recycled, and closed systems, where the excess flow of nutrients from the roots is collected and recycled back into the system.
This online course will teach you everything about hydroponic systems and how they can be integrated into aquaponic systems for the commercial production of seafood. Soilless culture systems have evolved as one possible solution to avoid soil-borne diseases that have always been a problem in greenhouse cultivation especially in the tropics where air and soil-borne pathogens are prevalent.
We will teach you the simplified hydroponic system that has relieved people from poverty and hunger without the higher setup cost of traditional hydroponic systems. This method can be initiated in a small area and gets adapted to the conditions of urban living.
