Kerala resident Roopa Jos grows organic and exotic vegetables on her terrace using a hydroponics unit. She shares all about the cost of setting it up and how she grows veggies for her kitchen.
As part of a Central Government project supported by IIT Bombay, students of Federal Institute of Science and Technology (FISAT), Ernakulam, have come up with a nutritional formula in hydroponics farming.
While urban dwellers can grow organic food at home with limited water and no soil, a farmer even in a drought-prone area can profit from the hydroponic system.
