Water-saving: Compared with traditional soil cultivation, the hydroponic system can recycle water, saving over 90% of water.
Space-saving: Multi-layer vertical planting allows the yield per unit area to be several or even dozens of times that of open-air farms.
Strong environmental controllability
Precise regulation of indoor environment (temperature, humidity, light, nutrients), unaffected by external climate (severe cold, heat, natural disasters), enabling stable production throughout the year.
Avoid soil-borne pests and diseases, reduce pesticide use, and facilitate green planting.
Convenience and automation
Automatic preparation and circulation of nutrient solutions reduce labor costs for irrigation and fertilization, suitable for large-scale management.
Can be equipped with smart devices (sensors, AI systems) to monitor growth status in real time, reducing human input.
High quality and high yield
Plant roots directly absorb nutrients, growing faster (e.g., the growth cycle of leafy vegetables can be shortened by 30%-50%).
Balanced nutrient supply ensures uniform fruit size and taste, with high commercial value.
Wide range of applications
Suitable for urban indoor spaces, balconies, factories, etc., shortening the transportation distance of agricultural products to achieve “local fresh supply”.
Can grow various crops such as leafy vegetables, strawberries, and herbs, and is even used for plant cultivation in space exploration (e.g., NASA-related research).
Sustainability advantages
No soil pollution problem, nutrient solutions can be recycled, reducing agricultural waste, in line with environmental protection concepts.
Reduce dependence on high-quality arable land, suitable for areas with scarce cultivated land resources.
Conclusion: Combining indoor environmental control, DWC hydroponics has significant advantages in efficiency, quality, environmental protection, and space utilization, making it an important development direction for future urban agriculture and high-efficiency agriculture.
