Agriculture Blog: "Hydroponic"

According to Hydroperfect Village Farms Greenhouse Grown hydroponics help in water conservation, land preservation, integrated pest management, recycling CO2, and food safety. To be sustainable it is important for a company or human being to become aware that sustainability is not just an additional policy or thing. For Village Farms "using hydroponic methods is committed to reducing our ecological footprint. We do all this not only because it makes good business sense but because we care about a healthy future" Hydroponic is very adaptable resource for urban and rural areas. Is a method of growing plants in water and not soil. It also helps grow food for the people who has low income or limited resources (land). This method is very easy and inexpensive. It adapts to local conditions for mainly any region. Hydroponics must be approved as a strategic tool to accomplish sustainability. Government needs to establish it as a public policy. With this we get a fresh and clean natural resource product, without being expose to all kind of current deceased coming from massive use of chemicals when it comes to the production of vegetables or fruits.

Welcome To My Blog!



Education is powerful, and education has always inspired me
to become a better person, a mentor to my family, and to become a leader in my
community. I want to be an example to fellow Hispanic students that do not believe
education is neither obtainable nor necessary.The work environment with my current employer,
the City of Arlington , is related to the field of
Sustainability. With a Master's of Science in Sustainability, I will be able to
be the change agent for any organization or community. Completing the Master's
degree program will benefit my studies and career and crossover into my
personal life. It will allow me to give back to the community that has graciously
embraced me and my family as immigrants.
