▶ The community of professional experts in agroecology, in the search to present healthy food production alternatives under ecological schemes has been growing steadily in recent years, where hydroponic crops are part of a widely accepted strategy for the production of vegetables worldwide, as part of the alternatives to optimize food production and simultaneously to establish mechanisms to improve agronomic work.

▶ From agroecological conceptions, experiments have been developed with the purpose of providing alternatives to determine the effect of different hydroponic systems on the growth and vegetative development of vegetable species.

▶ Considering hydroponic systems as new agronomic management technologies, they offer advantages in terms of the production of healthy and vigorous seedlings.

Therefore, and aware of the importance of incorporating new agronomic management practices to improve vegetable production systems, it is necessary to start establishing hydroponic systems on a large scale in order to generate more plant biomass that can be used by a greater number of people in the world.

▶ If we compare vegetable production under conventional schemes, we realize that yields are medium to low and the vegetables produced contain traces of pesticides, which raises the need to generate research that tends to generate information in order to improve agronomic practices under agroecological approaches that tends to increase yields and produce vegetables free of chemical traces.
