Ibragimov Eduard , Expert in crop and livestock production, Deputy General Director of the Akma-Taraz peasant farm, Republic of Kazakhstan, Taraz, KazakhstanAbstract
This article explores the economic benefits of using industrial hydroponic multi-tier systems. The study aims to analyze the efficiency, sustainability, and successful applications of these systems in urban and rural settings. The methods employed include a literature review of recent research on hydroponic technology, focusing on economic feasibility, environmental impact, and practical case studies. The key results highlight the economic advantages, such as cost savings and increased productivity, along with environmental benefits, including water conservation and reduced carbon footprint. The conclusions point to hydroponics as a viable and sustainable solution for modern agriculture, particularly in urban environments. The novelty of the work lies in synthesizing diverse perspectives on hydroponic systems, emphasizing their potential for revolutionizing food production and addressing global sustainability challenges.
