TACLOBAN CITY – The Leyte provincial government will launch a hydroponics farming project to help farmers maximize limited space in cultivating high-value crops.
Leyte Governor Leopoldo Dominico Petilla said on Tuesday compared with traditional gardening, hydroponics is a concept that uses less soil, less space, less water, with a growth rate of 30-50 percent faster.
The initiative is in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology, Ateneo de Manila University, Arizona State University, and the Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU).
