Are hydroponic farms profitable? They can be and here's one success story.

This 21-year-old college student from San Fernando, Pampanga is making a good profit from hydroponics farming. He started his agribusiness venture with only ₱1000 capital and now he's expanding.

Growing up as a grandchild of a traditional farmer Harold didn't think
a modern way of growing leafy greens would be doable in his yard. Until he gave it a try. And thanks to his available resources and a mindset that never fails to attract progress beacuse now his looking at multiple opportunities.

Take a look at one of Harold Zapata's greenhouses filled with lettuce and basil.

If this system can give farmers total control over their produce, could hydroponic farming be the future? Here's a fact. It's becoming popular for a number of good reasons. A farmer doesn't need soil and can grow a large plant population even in a very small area. Higher yields are attainable when plants are fed properly. The produce also tend to have longer shelf life. It requires less labor. And that's only mentioning a few.

Kudos to this guy. Ito yung dapat pina- follow na influencer. Hindi yung nka bikini na sumasayaw or gumagawa ng prank ang tatawagin nating influencer.

Para sa mga interesadong mag hydroponics. Imbis na water soluble na fertilizer gawin niyo isda nalang. Mag farm kayo ng isda dun sa tubig at yung dumi ng isda yun yung nutrients na kakainin ng halaman. So dalawa kita niyo. Halaman pati isda. Balancing act siya. Too much fish or too little fish at baka mamatay halaman niyo kaya trial and error pero magandang Plano siya.

Bilang Archi student. Wish me luck guys kasi related din sa hydroponics institute ang thesis proposal ko. I hope makapag shed ito ng light sa ating mga farmers at communities

I like everything he said. He seems like a very mature 21-year-old farmer/engineer who likes to take after his grandfather's craft and raise awareness on the kind of attention that farming deserves.

Sa panahon kasi ngayon most people have no interest on farming, kahit sa agriculture course maliit Lang ang kumukuha, so I'm very glad na may nakikita akong mga kabataan na katulad ko na meron din palang interest magtanim
