Review Paper Based On Organic Vertical Farming With Aquaponic Model In Urban Areas
Main Article Content
Abstract
The modern agriculture is an evolving approach to new farming practices and agricultural innovations. Vertical and organic farming have gained significant attention due to their potential address the challenges of limited space, water scarcity and the need for sustainable food production whereas hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponics are innovative cultivation methods that offer efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. Hydroponics involves growing plants in a nutrient water rich water solution, eliminating the need for soil. Aeroponics takes the concept further by suspending plant roots in a moist environment, where nutrient rich solutions are directly sprayed onto the roots. Aquaponics combines hydroponics with aquaculture, creating a symbiotic system where fish or aquatic animals provide nutrients for the plants, while plants filter and purify the water for fish. The combination of this new innovative agricultural practices offers numerous benefits includes higher crop yield, reduce water consumption etc. Further research and development in these areas are essential to optimize system designs, increases productivity and make these methods more accessible.
