6.1    PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral solutions, in water, without soil. This project aims to introduce, develop and promote community-base and low-cost hydroponically grown food production to low-income families in Community X. It will enable these individuals to produce hydroponically-grow crops all year round for themselves allowing them to meet their own nutritional requirements and complement to their daily income. Ultimately, the project seeks to empower these individuals to become active participants in the country’s drive toward agricultural modernization and attainment of food.



6.2    SCOPE
This project includes:  
 * Holding meetings with the ministry, team members (all persons involved in the project).
 * Hiring and training personnel for delivery of the project.
 * Preparation of documentation for the community participants on the grow box drive.
 * Acquiring office space and equipment for setup.
 * Marketing idea to community (public).
 * Holding information workshops.
