INTEGRASI PERTANIAN VERTIKAL DAN TEKNOLOGI HIDROPONIK UNTUK PENINGKATAN EFISIENSI LAHAN
Keywords:
Agriculture, Food, NutritionAbstract
Rapid population growth and increasing urbanization have created major challenges in terms of agricultural land availability and food security. This research examines the potential for integrating vertical farming with hydroponic technology as a solution to increase land use efficiency in food production. Vertical farming methods allow vertical use of space, while hydroponics offers a soil-free cultivation system that saves water and nutrients. The combination of these two methods has the potential to optimize food production in urban areas with limited land. This study analyzes various technical, economic and environmental aspects of this integrated system, and identifies challenges and opportunities in its implementation. The research results show that the integration of vertical farming and hydroponics can increase land productivity several times compared to conventional farming methods, while reducing the use of water and pesticides. However, high initial investment and large energy requirements are still major obstacles. In conclusion, this integrated approach offers a promising solution to face the challenges of limited land and food security in the future, with the caveat that further innovation is needed to overcome existing obstacles.
