A REVIEW OF THE INTEGRATION OF HYDROPONIC AGRICULTURAL GARDENING IN URBAN AREAS AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

The review examines hydroponic urban agriculture and construction technology for sustainable food production. Hydroponic Gardening is a technology adoption that integrates construction technology and agricultural technology. The structural framework of the device was the utilization of assorted wood products and fasteners—the utilization of a 4" diameter of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pipe as the main line. The PVC pipe has multi-holes for the flower pots. A controlled submersible pump circulates the liquid nutrient tea from a reservoir through the ½" dia. PVC pipes and back to the pool. The acceptability of the device was highly recommended for entrepreneurship. Hydroponics: efficient, year-round crop production, reduced reliance on traditional agriculture. Integrating construction technology, green materials, and intelligent infrastructure creates resource-efficient hydroponic farming structures. Study evaluates 100 farmers, 50 construction workers, 50 office workers using questionnaire. Based on the results of the experimental methods of the research, the hydroponics construction and the installation of the submersible pump were challenging and a lot of adjustment in terms of slop and levelness of the structures and the PVC chambers. And the conventional gardening methods were also easy to plant, but it was hard to monitor daily by watering the plant twice daily. The review discusses hydroponics gardening's economic viability, scalability, and social acceptance, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaborations and real-world assessments. But we need a greenhouse to shelter the plants and protect them from direct sun and insects for the best production. While the Conventional Methods of Gardening, it also easy to plant but the respondents will store daily water in the container for the plants. And also need a greenhouse for the best production. Therefore, the acceptability of Hydroponic Gardening was very high acceptable in terms of the utilization of a small lot in the house. This integration holds promise for building resilient and sustainable urban food systems for the future.
