Aside from having a large reserve of crude oil, another value that we have in abundance is the considerably large and ever-growing labour force. We are experiencing population growth at an exponential rate while the food supply is growing at an arithmetic rate. What is the significance of this information to the average farmer or prospective farmer? It connotes that there is an increasing need to increase our local food supply or we will be left with no other choice than to significantly increase food importation which is bad for the nation’s economy.

To profit from this business opportunity, do we all have to go back to the old means of farming on farmlands? Does this opportunity exempt those staying in the cities since farmlands are mostly in remote areas? Far from it! Regardless of your present location, you have a higher chance of gaining more than the conventional farmer with the right type of farming practice.

One of such medium of farming that is capable of producing high yields in a relatively small area is Hydroponics farming and we (Farm Hydroponics) have been able to successfully replicate this method for tons of clients across the federation.

Hydroponics farming (also known as soilless farming) is a method of growing plants without soils by using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent (Dos Santos, 2013). This method allows the farmer to effectively manage the nutrient that is consumed by the plant since it is being done in a controlled environment. Hydroponic farming helps the farmer to control the usage of water as water and the nutrients are placed directly under the root of the plants and can be recycled multiple times.

Engaging in hydroponics farming automatically prevents your plants from all forms of soil-related disease without hurting your capacity to have a bumper harvest. Also, you don’t have to worry about the use of pesticides on plants and its residual effect on humans as there will never be a need for it once hydroponics farming is practiced the right way. Among the many implementation plans available is the multi-level beddings system which allows you to plant vertically and in multiple dimensions. By so doing, the harvest is destined to be significantly higher (at least x3) than what is normally achievable in the traditional soil farming system.

The fact that hydroponics farming is more cost effective (when executed properly) than the conventional farming method does not necessarily mean that its implementation plan is straightforward. Its implementation is often comprised of lots of technicalities, some of which we can only be familiar with by having recurrent hands-on experience.

At Farm Hydroponics Nigeria, we provide the necessary support required to procure and install all the materials needed for a hydroponics farm. As hydroponic farming is not a one-way street, we also recommend the perfect styling for your budget.

If you are interested in achieving food security and/or attempting to fill the void caused by our crude farming system, your best bet is to invest in Hydroponics farming and your first step towards investing in hydroponics farming will be by contacting us.
