 Problem statement

What is the problem?

Most citizens of Trinidad and Tobago are unaware of the effectiveness and efficiency of hydroponics plant growth systems.

Focus on Caroni district due to the Caroni Fields is mostly used for farming. Also, downscale the target audience.

 Many persons have little to no space to plant due to the type of housing development such as apartments and townhouses.

 Urbanization and industrialization increase rapidly, which results in a decrease in cultivational land for farmers to plant in the Caribbean.

 Proposed Problem Statement:

To educate horizontal and vertical hydroponic gardening to urban residents and farmers who are experiencing poor to no soil conditions, space constraints and reduce labouring to improve efficiency for plant growth.

This was the completed proposal form, that was emailed to Prof. Ekwue to be confirmed and signed. RATIONALE: Trinidad and Tobago have a highly densely populated twin island with a steady rise in population. As a result, agricultural land for small scale faming is limited. More housing development has little to no gardening space, forcing residents to rely solely on markets and groceries for produce. Moreover, Trinidad’s soil type is approximately seventy percent of sandy or clay like soil which is not good conditions for farming. Therefore, farmers in Trinidad undergo laborious and expensive farming practices to improve these conditions by investing in manure, tilling, ploughing, fertilizing and pesticide uses. This style of farming demands long tedious hours in the field. However, growing food hydroponically can simplify this process significantly. Hydroponics uses no soil. Thus, weeding out unwanted plants and pest control is no longer an issue. There are two main types of hydroponic...
