Food loss and waste (FLW) are major issues in the Philippines, affecting food security, the economy, and the environment. Losses occur across the food supply chain due to inadequate post-harvest practices, poor logistics, and household waste. Solutions include improving storage, enhancing logistics, and promoting policies like the Food Waste Reduction Act. Community programs such as food banks and composting further help reduce waste while addressing hunger and promoting sustainability.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) thrives in hydroponic systems at 18°C to 22°C (64°F to 72°F), with cooler temperatures promoting growth and crisp leaves. High temperatures above 25°C can cause bolting, bitterness, and pale leaves, reducing quality. Effective solutions like cooling systems and automated controls help maintain optimal growing conditions for healthier crops.

Grow lights are crucial for hydroponic systems, but their improper use can undermine plant health and productivity. Key mistakes include selecting the wrong light spectrum—blue light (400–500 nm) for strong growth and red light (600–700 nm) for flowering—and neglecting proper light intensity, which can cause weak plants or leaf burns. Mismanaging photoperiods and light cycles disrupts growth, while poor heat management from lights like HPS or LEDs can stress plants. Uneven light distribution and inadequate maintenance further reduce efficiency. Monitoring Daily Light Integral (DLI), choosing suitable LED lights, and observing plant feedback can significantly improve results. By addressing these issues, growers can maximize yields, conserve energy, and create thriving hydroponic environments.
