Doha, Qatar: The Ambulatory Care Center (ACC) of Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) recently hosted a seminar on hydroponic farming titled “Harvesting Happiness: Intro to Hydroponics Gardening,” attended by both ACC’s clinical and non-clinical staff.

Hydroponics, a soil-less indoor and outdoor gardening technique using water-based nutrient solutions, has gained worldwide popularity for its efficiency.

Conducted by Jeacim Adaya and his wife Misty of Team Adaya Hydroponics Gardening, workshop participants learned about growing crops without soil, harvesting, and the potential of hydroponics for sustainable urban farming.

In Qatar, where traditional farming faces challenges due to arid climates and water scarcity, hydroponics offers a promising solution, as highlighted by Ambulatory Care Center’s Executive Director for Clinical Services, Khadija Khalid Mohammed, who organised and sponsored the event.
