Nick Loque, a young educator from Benguet, was in the same situation when the pandemic started. However, his curiosity and perseverance led him to establish Dontog Technofarms, a booming hydroponics farm in Benguet that sells a variety of fruit and vegetable crops.Loque shared some tips for young enthusiasts who want to venture into hydroponic farming:
After getting curious about hydroponic farming and in touch with fellow enthusiasts, Loque also had the chance to learn more about farming techniques, crop management, and hydroponics through government-led seminars, fora, and exhibitions. Loque advises young farming enthusiasts to grab these learning and networking opportunities, often spearheaded by the Department of Agriculture , not just to gain more knowledge and skills, but also to expose themselves to the realities of the field.
Once the hydroponic farm is established, owners can eventually tap the DA or the Department of Science and Technology for technological applications or subsidies to help the farm grow. There are already several government and private initiatives to help hydroponic farmers make their crop output more efficient and more adaptable to local weather.
