Indian Entrepreneur who has used
hydroponics farming:

Pravin Patel

Success Story Of Pravin Patel

Wide-spread drought, pest-ridden crop failures, and a
strained demand market flush with produce laced with
pesticides amidst challenging growing conditions. The soil in the farmlands is
degrading due to indiscriminate use of fertilizers, pesticides, and careless discharge
of polluted industrial effluents and municipal sewerage waters into the irrigation
canals and finally to the fertile farmlands.

Besides that, do we really have enough lands to feed the rising population of the
world?

These questions demand an answer with more urgency than ever. Pravin Patel, a
modern-day agripreneur (agricultural entrepreneur) from Vadodara, Gujarat
identified this need and brought the concept of soil-less farming to the lands of
Gujarat and beyond.

And hence, he collaborated with his friend, Jay Kumar Bhatt, and formed a company,
Brio Agri Producer Company Limited.
Pravin Patel’s ambitions lied in sustainable farming that gave people the privilege of
growing their own food and in empowering farmers with 40 times more production
through 10 times less water than traditional farming.
And there was the rise of India’s leading hydroponics farm set-

up company, Brio
Hydroponics.

State he belongs from- Gujarat

Two plants that can be grown by using hydroponic farming:
Lettuce, Cucumber.

Benefits of hydroponic farming:

The process of growing plants in sand, gravel, or liquid,
with added nutrients but without soil is called Hydroponics.
The following are some of the benefits of hydroponics:
There is a 20% reduction in space required for plants
grown hydroponically compared to plants grown in soil.
This means you can grow more plants in a defined space
or in tiny spaces where it would not be practical to grow
soil-based plants. A number of countries around the world don't have soil or
have very limited land. In the Pacific, Wake Island was the site of the first
commercial hydroponic farming operation. The soil on this atoll is unsuitable
for growing plants because it is a rocky atoll. Hydroponic gardens can easily
be housed in a greenhouse or other structure. Therefore, they can create their
own microclimates, shielded from many of the problems faced by traditional
farmers. They aren’t vulnerable to pests and don’t require the use of a wide
spectrum of insecticides. It is possible to grow plants year-round in
temperature-controlled environments, regardless of the weather outside.
Even the amount of sunlight available isn’t an issue with artificial grow lights.
Providing plants with ideal conditions ensures that the right amount of
nutrients is delivered directly to the roots. Moreover, microclimates allow

crops to grow year-round and cycle
faster. As a result, traditional farming
methods yield much lower yields
than modern methods. According to
our research, hydroponic
greenhouses can produce about 240
times more yield than other farming
methods.
