PHHydroponics allows plants to be cultivated without relying on traditional soil beds. In the Philippines, urban farming entrepreneurs are experimenting with the technology to grow vegetables despite limited land.
One recent example is an urban farm in Mindanao that developed from a personal gardening interest into a hydroponics-based agricultural enterprise.
The approach can be particularly useful in cities where available land is expensive or limited. It also introduces technology into a hobby that traditionally depended on soil, pots, and garden space.
Urban gardening is therefore evolving into several different forms rather than following one standard method.
