Our Hydroponics Project
Our hydroponic farming project in Zambia leverages the efficiency of vertical hydroponics to offer a sustainable alternative to traditional agriculture. With hydroponic farming's minimal space and resource requirements, we aim to introduce this innovative farming method in a controlled, phased approach. Recognizing that large-scale hydroponic setups require substantial initial investment, we have implemented this project on a smaller scale to demonstrate its viability and effectiveness.
Our project involves a 300-square-meter greenhouse equipped with 100 PVC pipes configured for vertical hydroponics. This setup not only allows us to showcase the potential of hydroponic farming but also enables incremental expansion as local market demand grows.
This project is an important step toward advancing sustainable agriculture in Zambia, supporting local food security, and promoting resource-efficient farming practices.
Sustainable Agriculture
At Uhuru Agro, we believe in a future where every Zambian household and small business has access to sustainable, innovative agricultural solutions. Join us on our journey towards a greener, more resilient future for Zambia's agriculture.
