BENEFITS OF HYDROPONICS FARMING BY AHANA MITTAL AND JAIMEET CHAUHAN:

Up to 90% more efficient use of water.

Production increases 3 to 10 times in the same amount of space.
Many crops can be produced twice as fast in a well-managed hydroponic system.
Decreasing the time between harvest and consumption increases the nutritional value of the
end product.
Indoor farming in a climate-controlled environment means farms can exist in places where
weather and soil conditions are not favourable for traditional food production.
No chemical weed or pest control products are needed when operating a hydroponic system.

Model made by Aaryav Goel and Bhavya Taneja:

Success story by Aaryan Hazrati:

• 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.

Two plants that have been grown by using hydroponic farming:
• Leaf Lettuce
• Tomatoes
