This research concludes that open-field hydroponics represents a promising solution for climate-adaptive farming in the Mekong Delta, offering both economic and environmental sustainability. The results serve as a foundation for future developments, including the potential expansion of the system to high-value crops and the creation of accessible tools for farmers. | | |outcomes=The findings indicate that the system offers significant advantages, such as water efficiency, reduced pesticide use, and year-round cultivation, even under adverse environmental conditions.
