Vegetable farming is the practice of growing vegetables, which can include leafy greens, root crops, fruits, and legumes, among others. These vegetables are cultivated for their edible parts, which provide numerous health benefits. The farming process involves selecting suitable crops, preparing the soil, planting, irrigating, managing pests, and harvesting.

Vegetable farming is indeed a crucial practice for ensuring a steady supply of fresh, nutritious produce. Being able to grow vegetables using hydroponics is a great way for people who have smaller areas.

From what I’ve seen, pest control and weather extremes seem to come up often as major hurdles. A lot of farmers also mention the difficulty in maintaining soil fertility over multiple planting cycles. Hydroponics helps with space issues, but it brings its own set of challenges like managing nutrient solutions and system maintenance.
