Presentation transcript:

High Tech Farming : Hydroponics

What's hydroponics ? - a technique of growing plants (without soil) in water containing dissolved nutrients

-Usually takes place in or around densely populated urban areas where land is limited & costly (Eg: Singapore) -Singapore can increase self-sufficiency so that it can reduce its dependence on imports.

Inputs Physical: -Sunlight/Shade -Land Human: -High capital inputs (Farms have special buildings such as shelters and greenhouses to crate conditions ideal for plant growth-installation of new technologies like computers & automatic devices are needed) -High technology -Knowledge driven

Processes - Germinating seeds in a dark room - Transplanting to growing troughs - Adding nutrient solution using computers - Monitoring plant growth using computers -Harvesting (manually) - Packaging and refrigerated transport

Outputs -Produce a variety of other outputs that are generally of high quality. -Includes vegetables, flowers, fruits, eggs, dairy products, ornamental fish for both local and overseas markets.

-High capital investment Challenges Faced -High capital investment -Shortage of trained workers (educated workforce but people are unwilling to work as high tech farmers) -Competition from imported fruits and vegetables, discouraging high-tech farmers from expanding their operations
