Watch: Hydroponic farming helps Manipur youth grow world-class crops

For most of us, farming involves a piece of land, a source of water and a farmer. However, there is also an alternative that narrows down one’s requirement for farming to limited space and water consumption. Yumnam Neeraj, 30, is dabbling in the concept of hydroponic farming, a process that helps him save up to 80-90% water and grow world-class crops.

Yumnam dipped his toes into hydroponic farming in 2013, when he came across the concept on TV. He then started reading journals, articles and research papers on Hydroponic farming as part of his master’s research program. Finally, in 2019, he started ‘Urban Farms Manipur’ and has been practising urban farming ever since.
