During the past few decades, vertical farming has attracted a lot of interest as an alternative food production method. Vertical farms use engineered growth environments and hydroponic cultivation techniques for growing plants indoors. One important factors in different is amount nutrients, which can be measured electrical conductivity (EC). Studying optimal EC avoiding nutrient loss deficiency farms. In this study, we investigated effect five levels (2, 1.2, 0.9, 0.7, 0.5 dS m−1) Hoagland...
Urban agriculture, as most can potentially contribute to eutrophication via losses ground and surface water. Few published studies have empirically measured nitrogen phosphorus (including leaching) from urban even fewer examined in real-world settings throughout the year. Here we investigated year-round (May 2020–2021) weekly leaching allotment gardens Linköping, southern Sweden. We installed eight lysimeters (8 plots) collected water 0.3 m below soil four (2 plots per garden), each with...
The agricultural sector in developing countries is one of the most vulnerable sectors to climate change and water scarcity. Iran Middle Eastern country facing a growing crisis. Rafsanjan county, located province Kerman, losing its pistachio orchards shortages change. modernisation irrigation methods transfer from other regions have been main strategies taken by governmental authorities. lack success these has led emergence more participatory approaches transformation local urban planning...
Questions have arisen about the sustainability of industrialised food system. Alternatives like urban agriculture emerged to reduce negative social, environmental and health impacts industrial agriculture. Such new supply chains can change way that people acquire process food. This study looks at high-tech indoor gardening practices in nursing homes for elderly people, studying four Dutch city Velp. We used both qualitative quantitative approaches collect data, using site visits, a survey...
