Starting a business dealing in indoor farming and hydroponics involves market research, choosing crops, selecting a location, designing a system, procuring equipment, engaging in crop production, harvesting and distributing the products as well as marketing and sales activities among others. Market research is important for understanding the target market’s demand and identifying competition. Crop choices includes herbs, leafy greens and tomatoes. When picking an area to start this kind of facility it is important to put into consideration factors like natural lighting presence there, access to utilities or zoning regulations. The design of the system should take into account crop type with respect to space availability within the budget. All necessary gear must be acquired; supplies and inputs have to come from elsewhere. In this case study we are going to look at how crops can be cultivated using hydroponic technology by monitoring plant health status, nutrient levels and environmental conditions all along.
