VTV.vn - Hydroponic farming is considered a sustainable approach to the agricultural development in a context of climate change.

 

The technology does not require the use of soil and creates clean produce safe for consumption. Farmers in Đồng Tháp Province have successfully applied hydroponics to their production.

Cường's garden grows 10 types of vegetables. Each type is grown in its own area so that the automatic system can tend to the plants' individual needs. He uses no pesticides at all. Therefore, the vegetables grown here are completely clean and safe for consumption. The hydroponics system harvests 200 kilos of vegetables a day but they cost 1.5 times more than conventionally-grown produce.
