Simplified Hydroponics Training Workshop
What is HYDROPONICS? Hydroponics is the practice of growing plants without soil. Benefits of Hydroponic Technology
- Minimum Land Use High Yields in small land footprint
- No Genetically Modified seeds used Multiple and Mixed crops per year
- Many varieties of FFV’s can be cultivated Low downtime between crops
- Easy to maintain systems Pesticide Free
- Used Water can be recycled and used No water run-off, avoids pollution
- Minimum Carbon Footprint Soil-Less Cultivation
- Absolutely Hygienic, No Chemical Trace Can Grow Vegetables, Fruits and Herbs
- Is non-messy, clean agriculture and appeals to the modern generation Post-harvest waste can be composted.

Mission
The Trainer: Mr. Arun J Holla, Head-Urban Projects, HGTIPL Bangalore.
The Organization: Hydroponic Greenhouse Technologies India Private Limited, Bangalore.
Mission of Hydroponic Greenhouse Technologies
Our mission is to help by training people in rural and urban areas to set up Hydroponic Vegetable and Herb gardens on their rooftops,balconies, backyards and even on window sills. We wish to make Urban farming a norm in the years to come. This technique will help common people to learn the methods of growing their own food within the resources of their own homes. This has great relevance at a time when food security crisis is slowly becoming a reality in the world.
We have been doing a great job in Banglore & looking forward to do the same in Mumbai as well.
As the Founder and Chief Visionary of this organization I can assure you that you will love the training and we promise you that you it will be a memorable day and the start of a new chapter in your lives that will not only enrich you but the world at large.
