What are the major barriers—technical, economic, and policy-related—to the widespread adoption of hydroponic systems in developing countries, and what role can education, research, and public-private partnerships play in overcoming these challenges to achieve sustainable growth?

- High energy consumption for climate-controlled systems and reliance on reliable electricity pose significant challenges, especially in areas with unstable energy grids.
- Limited access to affordable and locally available materials such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides further complicates implementation.
- Setting up hydroponic systems involves substantial upfront investments in equipment, infrastructure, and technology. This is a major barrier for small-scale farmers and those in low-income regions.
- Operational costs, including energy inputs and nutrient solutions, can also be prohibitive
