Project Description
- Funded by the Sustainable Agricultural Development Fund of the Agriculture, Fisheries, and Conservation Department, PolyU’s "Shun Kai Urban Green Farming Research Laboratory" operates as Hong Kong's first urban farming research and development platform.
- Our focus is on developing bio-fortified precision hydroponics technology to enhance the mineral and trace nutrient content in vegetables during cultivation. With Hong Kong residents often deficient in calcium, iron, and iodine, our team has formulated a method to add these essential nutrients to commonly consumed vegetables, such as Chinese vegetables and salad greens. This approach provides a practical, affordable, and natural solution for meeting nutritional needs through daily diets.
