Soilless growing is expanding worldwide because it offers methods of growing food (including fish in aquaponics) at high densities in small spaces, features that are advantages in urban agriculture. Nepal is experiencing rapid urbanization with associated loss of agricultural land near cities. Distant import of vegetables and fish can be problematic due to natural disasters, political unrest and lockdowns due to disease. We evaluated the status of aquaponics and hydroponics in Nepal by attempting to locate as many existing operations as possible in the country. We discovered 50 aquaponics and 38 hydroponics units and through interviews of owners and other methods we documented system designs, the types of fish and plants grown and other characteristics. It appears, soilless growing, particularly family scale units, have potential to contribute to food production in cities in Nepal where flat topped roofs offer space for growing food.
