Hydroponics is a flexible and sustainable agricultural practice providing efficient, high quality yields of essential produce. In collaboration with the Armenia Tree Project (ATP)’s goal to combat food scarcity across Armenia, we have developed a design and manual for an inexpensive and adaptable hydroponic gardening system. After researching preexisting designs compatible with highly nutritional crops relevant to the average Armenian diet, we began collaborative work with the American University of Armenia developing a guide providing additional insight supporting the design.
