Abstract

As the world population is also growing there is a large demand to find more resilient way of farming and growing. The aim of this project is to assess the environmental performance of employing residual material flows for vertical and hydroponic farming in urban environments in order to support more circular, resilient, and sustainable urban food supply. We can achieve this by using a technique called as hydroponics. In this process the roots of the plants are suspended in mineral nutrients solutions which provide the initial boost for the growth. This system has different sensors which will control the respective parameters for the adequate growth of the plants. Not only do plants grow without soil, they often grow a lot better with their roots immersed in water instead. Various studies suggest that important aspects for the vertical and hydroponic system include the proper selection of medium, pots & availability of electricity. Through this way, this technique will provide a better way for sustainable growth.

Keywords
