A Hydroponic-Greenhouse System for Israeli Urban Agriculture
Público DepositedContenido Descargable
open in viewerIn Israel, rising transportation costs have contributed to fresh produce turning from a nutritional necessity to a luxury. Factors such as scarce rainwater, concrete highrise buildings, and strong windstorms make Israel an ideal candidate for alternative agriculture methods. Tasked by the Mityaalim Foundation, our team developed an engineering plan for an urban rooftop Israeli hydroponic garden within a greenhouse. Our blueprints and instructional handbooks for the hydroponics system and greenhouse were developed through researching current methods and interviewing agricultural experts in Israel. These feature accessibility, affordability, modularity, and ease of use. Our plan will be placed on an open-source website to provide how-to instructions on growing fresh produce via hydroponics.
