Urban living often comes with limited space for gardening, making it hard for city dwellers to grow their own food. My idea is to develop a modular vertical hydroponic system that can be installed on balconies, terraces, or even indoor walls. The system would use a series of stacked grow trays, each equipped with a drip irrigation system that circulates nutrient-rich water. By using LED grow lights that mimic sunlight, the system could operate indoors, allowing people to grow leafy greens, herbs, and even small vegetables year-round. Each module would be designed to snap together, making it easy to expand as needed. A small, solar-powered water pump would keep the nutrient solution flowing, reducing electricity use. Challenges include ensuring even nutrient distribution and maintaining an ideal water pH level, but the system could be a game-changer for urban food production. It would allow city residents to reduce their carbon footprint while enjoying fresh, home-grown produce.
