Course / Course Details
By - Super admin
Before starting this course, learners should have:
Basic knowledge of plants and gardening (optional).
Interest in sustainable agriculture or modern farming.
Access to the internet and a device (PC/tablet/smartphone).
No prior experience in hydroponics is required — this is a beginner-level course.
Welcome to Introduction to Vertical Farming with
Hydroponics! In this course, you’ll explore how food can be grown efficiently
in cities and small spaces. We’ll focus on vertical farming (growing plants in
stacked layers) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil).
Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in stacked
layers, often indoors.
Key features:
- Uses less land
- Controlled environment (light, humidity, water)
- Can be set up in cities
Example: A vertical farm in New York grows lettuce in a warehouse, supplying
fresh food locally.
Hydroponics = growing plants without soil, using
nutrient-rich water.
Benefits:
- Saves up to 90% water compared to traditional farming
- Faster plant growth
- Fewer pesticides
- Year-round production
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Define vertical farming and explain how it differs from traditional agriculture.
Describe the principles of hydroponics and how plants grow without soil.
Identify and compare different hydroponic systems (NFT, DWC, aeroponics, etc.).
Recognize the essential equipment needed for hydroponic farming (lights, pumps, nutrient solutions).
Explain the environmental and economic benefits of vertical farming.
Analyze real-world examples of vertical farming applications.
Gain awareness of how AI and automation (like Zirat’s solutions) are transforming food production.
Earn a completion certificate to showcase knowledge in sustainable farming.
