HYDRO-GREENS
II. Brief Project Description
Hydro-greens is composed of two words which are hydroponics and leafy-
greens. Hydro-greens is particularly a hydroponic technology system to grow leafy
vegetables such as lettuce, pechay, mustasa, bok choy, and spinach. These kind of
vegetables are rich in water so hydroponic technology is fit to use in growing them.
Further these leafy vegetables are easy to grow and manageable to grow in a backyard.
Hydroponics is one of modern technology we have in agriculture. It is a method of
growing plant using water-based nutrient solution rather than soil. Further, hydroponics
is a space saver which is fit in a backyard farming. It is manageable compared to
ordinary way of planting. Furthermore, hydroponics is a eco-friendly farming which
means that it can have a lower environmental impacts that conventional farming if the
correct energy is mixed.
III. Preferred Location
Hydro-greens farm business located at Purok 2, Barangay Mapangpang, Science
City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija. The farm is a backyard farming business which means that
it is located in the owner’s house backyard which make it easy for the owner to manage
and supervised.

Uses of the Product Human Production: The primary use of leaf vegetables are for human consumption. Leafy vegetables are consume by people all over the world. It can be one of the

ingredients for a viand for us Filipino or for vegetable salad. Lettuce is one of the ingredients for Samgyupsal which is a Korean food that we already adapt. VII. Governmet support available VIII. Sources and Uses of Funds

  1. Personal Savings: Many farmers when starting a business relies on their personal savings.
  2. Bank loans: Many banks offer a loan for a farmer to start their own business or to supports their funds
  3. Purchasing equipment: This include box styro where the plants sit and grow
  4. Facilities: Includes metal, net, etc. that is needed for shedding.
  5. Transportation: Vehicle to deliver the fresh products IX. Projected Risks and Suggested Solutions
  6. Capital Intensive: The costs can really be a huge in setting up a hydroponic farming or gardening. Thus raises the barrier of entry and scares most farmer from making big decisions to scale up their hydroponic farms. Solution: Framers or growers can develop effective plans for growing their business or farms by taking a phased approach to scaling up their business. Expansion should be done strategically in phases. This will reduce the need for huge upfront business.
  7. High Technical Knowledge Requirement for Operations: The high risk of mistakes or inadequate knowledge is sometimes a hindrance for people who are interested in hydroponic farming but tend to be risk averse. Solution: Taking specific trainings in areas of hydroponic farming where you have deficient knowledge can significantly reduce the likelihood of errors.
  8. Risk of Water Borne Disease and Algae Bloom: Most hydroponic systems are closed units which all the plants may share the same water or nutrient solution through recirculation Solution: Hydroponic farmers or growers can space out their plants to prevent them from getting overcrowded.
  9. Environment that is Susceptible to Quick Changes: Environmental factors are very important to the growth and survival of plants in general but this may be more critical for hydroponic plants because they react or respond quickly to these changes. Solution: A good investment in smart hydroponic monitoring systems will help in solving these kinds of issues and it can go a long way to prevent them from happening.
  10. Constant Monitoring Required: Spending a lot of time checking and monitoring conditions and performance of hydroponic plants can be time consuming and it is one thing may people don’t like to do.
