Importance of Home Gardening
& Indoor Gardening:
A Small Step Towards Food Autonomy!
According to the 2020 Global Report on Food Crises, about 135 million inhabitants in 55 countries faced severe acute food shortages. Food is a commodity that is essential for humans to survive, and with the rapid increase in population, it is becoming scarcer.
On the other hand, food autonomy is a much-desired goal to achieve for the world’s nations. One way to achieve such food autonomy is by promoting indoor gardening and smart gardening. A system based on hydroponics that requires minimal space and resources can help alleviate food shortages.
Indoor Gardening – A New Way to Grow Fruits and Vegetables
The importance of indoor gardening cannot be understated as it allows incumbents to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs in indoor gardens. It requires limited space and can work in varying environments. All you need is a stable electricity connection, and you’re good to go.
Hydroponics has become the latest savior of humanity, enabling society to grow fruits and vegetables in close quarters. They utilize space efficiently as well as resources. Here are some of the benefits of indoor gardening:
– Require limited space.
– Organic and fresh produce.
– Work well with limited resources.
– Promotes food autonomy
– Saves transportation, packaging, and logistics costs
– Contribute towards lowering of pesticide levels in the subsoil.
Smart Garden / OGarden Smart
Indoor gardening has honed in on the hydroponics culture and become an autonomous home garden system.
The OGarden Smart is a smart gardening tool that measures 55 x 29 inches and is one of the best intelligent gardening tools available in the market. It works on the hydroponics methodology and can store 90 plants at once. It is by far the most prominent device available for indoor gardening out there.
The device is a wheel-shaped rotating one placed on a vertical cabinet. The cabinet stores the seeds and the germinated plants. Meanwhile, the rotating shelf can hold 60 plants. The beauty of OGarden Smart is the ability to harvest vegetables and fruits any time you require.
The process of planting fruits and vegetables in the OGarden Smart is relatively simple. First, you need to put the seeds in dry capsules with organic compost in a thin biodegradable sheet. After a few weeks / roughly 21 days, the seeds grow into small plants. At this point you can place them in the rotating drum.
The rotating wheel manages to control the amount of light and resources, including water and fertilizer, the plants receive. The LED lights on the OGarden Smart have a long life and don’t consume many wattages. Once the plants are ready, you can harvest them at your behest, right from the middle of your living area.
OGarden Smart is a new and unique way to practice indoor gardening without the hassles of requiring outdoor space, resource wastage, and the mess gardening creates.
