URBAN FARMING: INNOVATIONS IN SOIL-LESS CULTIVATION

Abstract

Urban farming is emerging as a sustainable solution to food insecurity and the environmental challenges associated with traditional agriculture. Among the most promising innovations in urban agriculture is soil-less cultivation, which includes techniques like hydroponics, geoponics, and aquaponics. These methods allow for the efficient use of space and resources, making them ideal for densely populated urban areas. This article explores the development, implementation, and potential of soil-less cultivation systems in urban farming, highlighting their benefits in terms of water conservation, crop yield, and sustainability.
