Hydroponics is a technique of growing plants without soil and without the limitations of space and climate. In the traditional farming system, plants depend on soil to obtain all the nutrients needed for their growth. In contrast, a hydroponic garden provides all these nutrients without involving sunlight and soil and allowing farmers to benefit from efficiencies to reap large produce yields. Setting up a hydroponic setup can be expensive and might not be feasible for farmers. Our mission at NARI is to develop strategies for setting up a hydroponic system with cheaper environment control methods. We aim to achieve maximum yield using these strategies. Once this aim is achieved, we plan on training farmers and leasing the developed technology to them so that they can benefit from it.
