Implementation of Hydroponics in Urban Areas as an Effort to Improve Food Security: Perspectives from Literature Review
Keywords:
food security, hydroponics, urban, land efficiency, sustainabilityAbstract
Food security is an increasingly pressing global issue, especially in urban areas. In the face of the challenges of limited land and resources, hydroponic technology offers an innovative solution to increase food production. Hydroponics is a soil-less method of plant cultivation, using nutrient-rich water, which enables faster and more efficient plant growth. This study analyzes the literature on the application of hydroponics in urban areas and its contribution to food security. Findings show that hydroponics improves crop productivity, land and water use efficiency, and food supply stability. In addition, hydroponics supports more sustainable and environmentally friendly local food production. However, challenges such as initial costs and technical knowledge requirements require special attention. Policy support and education are key to the successful implementation of hydroponics in urban areas. Thus, hydroponics has the potential to be an effective solution to improve food security in the era of urbanization.
