During a recent visit to South Africa, our team encountered one of the most innovative and sustainable agricultural practices that will undoubtedly blow your mind – hydroponics farming. For those who may not be familiar, hydroponics involves growing plants without soil, with nutrient-rich water solutions delivering essential minerals directly to the roots. Utilizing inert growing mediums like perlite or coconut coir, this method offers precise control over conditions, potentially leading to faster growth and increased yields compared to traditional soil-based agriculture. At UVG, where our mission revolves around sustainable practices, particularly in agriculture, we were captivated by the possibilities hydroponics presents. We thrive by supporting and engaging with initiatives that promote such practices in Africa, contributing to the wheels of sustainability turning with momentum. #UVG #sustainableagriculture
