In recent years, hydroponic farms have emerged as an innovative solution to meet the challenges of food production in urban centers. With continued population growth and increasing urbanization, traditional agriculture faces significant obstacles in meeting the growing demand for fresh, healthy food. In this context, hydroponic cultivation has emerged as a promising alternative, with Hortivinyl playing a key role in this transformation.

By using Hortivinyl products in their projects, we cultivate greenery amidst the concrete of cities, providing fresh, healthy and locally grown food).
What is an urban farm?
An urban hydroponic cultivation farm is an innovative agricultural system located in urban environments, where plant cultivation takes place without the use of traditional soil. Instead, the plants are grown in specific nutrient solutions in a controlled environment, often inside buildings or urban structures adapted for this purpose.
This method of cultivation uses hydroponic systems, in which the plant roots directly receive essential nutrients dissolved in water, instead of extracting nutrients from the soil. There are several ways to implement hydroponics in urban environments, including vertical systems, greenhouses, modified containers and specialized indoor facilities.

Advantages of hydroponic cultivation in large urban centers
The urban hydroponic cultivation farm seeks to optimize the use of space, which is often limited in urban areas, and ensure precise control of environmental factors such as light, temperature and humidity. This approach not only increases production efficiency, but also allows cultivation all year round, regardless of the weather conditions outside.
Environmental Impact
In the urban context, local food production through hydroponic farms not only contributes to the food security of communities, but also reduces the need to transport food long distances, lowering the carbon footprint associated with these activities. These farms can range in scale from small community enterprises to large commercial operations, depending on local needs and objectives.
