Urban Farming Innovation through Affordable and Eco friendly Hydroponic System

Urban farming is no longer a new term in our ears. There are a lot of people who have been doing urban farming such as growing their own vegetables at home. Aside from improving  daily vegetable needs for the family, growing vegetables is also seen as a hobby, a self-healing activity, as well as an action for sustainability. There are a lot of methods to grow plants that can be done . This also applies to BINUS SCHOOL Simprug student, Claire Angela Santoso, who started to do urban farming around 2020.

It started off from a project community development, a program provided by her school, when Claire chose urban farming to be developed and further explored to give impact to her community. After she decided to do urban farming as her focus, she started to do research, collected references, and made a visit to hydroponic stores around her neighborhood. Through the experience, she found that hydroponics not only can reduce the amount of water being used  but also saves time. In addition, it is very efficient if you don’t have much space to spare. However, Claire also realized that there are downsides through this method, price. Since then, Claire kept exploring her options to find a hydroponic system that is efficient, effective, and eco-friendly.
