The National Project for Hydroponic & Aeroponic Agriculture

A Vision for Syria’s Future: Discover how this pioneering project contributes to achieving food security, combating desertification, and empowering generations.

The Core Idea of the Project

Our project is a unique initiative aiming to launch a mini agricultural revolution in Syria.

We rely on a national competition to select promising talents who will receive support to start their sustainable agricultural projects.

Key Aspects of the Main Idea:

Competition to select 20 qualified winners

1- Launching a Competition to select 20 qualified winners:

They will be chosen to establish hydroponic or aeroponic agricultural projects.

Project area not exceeding 100 square meters

2- Project area not exceeding 100 square meters:

To ensure practical applicability and efficiency.

A financial grant of $2,500 for each winner

3- A financial grant of $2,500 for each winner:

To support project implementation, with a focus on using recycled or locally available materials.

Close follow-up for 6 months

4- Close follow-up for 6 months:

During this period, winners will compete to achieve the best production and engineering performance.

cash prize for the first-place winner

5- A substantial cash prize for the first-place winner:

In recognition of excellence and innovation in performance.

Our Project Strategic Objectives

The project aims to create a multifaceted positive impact, covering aspects of food security, environmental development, and community empowerment.

Main Objectives

Establish 20 model agricultural projects: Based on hydroponic and aeroponic agriculture in selected regions of Syria.
Train and qualify local cadres: To disseminate sustainable agricultural techniques on a wide scale.
Contribute to combating desertification: By reducing pressure on degraded traditional agricultural lands.

Sub-Objectives

Promote innovation in the use of recycled materials: Such as solar panels, batteries, and pumps.
Economically empower youth and farmers: By providing job opportunities and specialized training.
Producing high-quality crops efficiently: With optimal water and energy consumption.

Innovation at the Heart of Agriculture

The project relies on the latest soilless cultivation techniques that have proven effective globally in various environments.

Hydroponics

A system for growing plants without soil, using nutrient solutions rich in essential minerals. It is characterized by high water usage efficiency.

Examples: The focus will be on systems such as NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) which irrigates roots with a thin layer of solution, and DWC (Deep Water Culture) where plant roots are directly submerged in a nutrient solution.

Aeroponics

It is one of the most water-efficient cultivation methods, where nutrient solutions are sprayed onto roots suspended in the air as a fine mist.

Benefits: This technique allows for optimal oxygen absorption by the roots, leading to faster growth and more abundant crops.

Sustainability: The Cornerstone of Our Project

We are committed to adopting sustainable practices in all aspects of the project, not only to conserve resources but also to promote local innovation and reduce costs.

Key Sustainable Practices:

Encouraging the use of recycled materials: Such as used solar panels, batteries, and pumps available in the local market.
Designing water-saving systems: Saving water by up to 90% compared to traditional agriculture, representing a vital solution to water scarcity.
Reducing reliance on imported components: By seeking local alternatives and encouraging innovation in local manufacturing.
