Two engineering students from Sohar University – Reem al Dhahouri and Al Zahraa al Maamari – have developed an innovative hydroponic farming project aimed at transforming agriculture in Oman.
The Smart Hydroponic Farming Project integrates advanced technology with local agricultural waste, reducing water and energy consumption while promoting environmental sustainability.
Hydroponics, a method that uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil, is known for improving water efficiency and boosting crop yields compared to traditional farming.
The students' project goes further by using locally sourced agricultural waste as a sustainable growing medium, reducing the need for chemical fertilisers and minimising environmental impact.
