“…Results derived from the modified superstructure developed in this work are presented in Table 2. As it can be observed, several NPV values were negative, indicating that no benefits are being obtained or that they do not meet the expectations of the investment project [26] . For this reason, scenarios with a negative NPV will not be considered in the discussion.…”

By-products of bioethanol production, such as vinasse can be transformed by biotechnological processes into valuable compounds. In this work, the economic feasibility of producing poly(hydroxyalcanoate)s (PHAs) from vinasse and diverse microorganisms was studied employing a superstructure whose objective function is the maximization of the Net Present Value (NPV). The model was run employing data reported in the literature about PHAs productivities obtained by using different bacteria strains and vinasse as carbon source. Thus, comparison of different scenarios is shown from techno-economic and environmental aspects. Mathematical model estimated that PHA production cost was 2.27 - 3.02 USD and the investment resulted 9- 13 million dollars. The energy consumption was also calculated and it was 13.8 - 21 MJ/Kg PHA. The model returned NPV negative values in those scenarios with low accumulation and low yield of PHAs, indicating that benefits are not being obtained and, therefore, would not meet the expectations for an investment project. Positive NPV values were obtained, being the highest one 35.09 million dollars. Results evidenced that microorganism selection, concentration of the pretreated vinasse, and inorganic salts in the culture media would be the most relevant factors to take into account when designing a PHA production plant.

“…For example, in Brazil, a study showed that a hydroponic farm with 2475 m 2 of greenhouses was economically viable [97]. On a smaller scale, a feasibility study of a domestic industrial-scale hydroponic business (as an alternative home business) indicated excellent profitability [98]. Other studies revealed that domestic vertical hydroponic production may be economically viable, with the potential to increase food security and the sustainability of urban areas [99,100].…”

The global food system is currently facing significant challenges that make it unsustainable and environmentally harmful. These challenges not only threaten food security but also have severe negative impacts on the environment. Efforts have been made to reform agrifood systems and align them with the built environment, but emerging obstacles have revealed the weaknesses in these systems, particularly in less self-sufficient countries. This review outlines the primary environmental problems associated with global agrifood systems and the challenges in promoting food security. It emphasizes that the increasing global population and urbanization need rational and equitable changes in food systems, including production, distribution, storage, and consumption. These changes should aim to minimize environmental impacts by protecting and efficiently utilizing natural resources such as air, water, soil, and biodiversity, reducing food loss and waste, and mitigating pollution that contributes to ecosystem degradation and climate change. In this context, hydroponics emerges as a sustainable, plant-based food production technique that can be employed as a solution in urban areas. It can be implemented in domestic microproduction systems, serving as a complementary alternative to conventional food production methods. This study also provides insights into the challenges that need to be addressed in order to enhance home hydroponic systems. The integration of hydroponics into urban food production offers the potential to tackle both food security and environmental sustainability issues, providing a path toward more resilient and efficient food systems.

“…Kemudian, setelah benih berkecambah dalam waktu seminggu, sayuran dipindahkan ke dalam pipa hidroponik yang telah diisi air dan nutrisi (Cifuentes-Torres et al, 2021;Idham et al, 2022;Sánchez et al, 2021;Shaik et al, 2022). Hidroponik memiliki potensi dan keuntungan finansial sebagai alternatif dalam skala home industry (Bumgarner & Hochmuth, 2019;Kholis et al, 2022).…”

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan dan mendorong pemberdayaan hidroponik sebagai alternatif optimalisasi budidaya sayuran organik. Pemberdayaan hidroponik yang telah dilakukan memiliki beberapa tujuan, yaitu: 1) Pertumbuhan dan hasil panen yang optimal untuk sayuran organik, 2) Mempromosikan hidroponik sebagai alternatif budidaya sayuran organik dengan teknik pengendalian hama dan penyakit yang efektif dan ramah lingkungan, 3) Pengembangan teknik pengelolaan air dan energi yang efisien, seperti penggunaan sistem daur ulang air dan teknologi penghematan energi, 4) Pengembangan program pemberdayaan yang menyediakan pengetahuan dan keterampilan tentang budidaya hidroponik organik, termasuk aspek teknis, manajemen, dan keberlanjutan. Dengan adanya pemberdayaan hidroponik, diharapkan masyarakat Desa Tanjung Hutan dapat meningkatkan ketersediaan sayuran organic, mengurangi ketergantungan pada bahan kimia sintesis, serta memberikan manfaat ekonomi melalui peluang kerja dan usaha baru. Selain itu, optimalisasi budidaya sayuran organik memiliki potensi besar dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pangan organik yang berkualitas tinggi dan berkelanjutan.
