Abstract
This study examines the effect of a cascade cropping system using rocket crop (Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC) as the main crop and sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum L.) as the secondary crop. The collected leachate has been utilized as a nutrient solution for seafennel in a floating system, ideal for its salinity tolerance. Production costs were determined using a business budget scheme, comprising variable, fixed, and opportunitycosts, setting the thresholds for profit and benefits. The project's viability and profitability are assessed using NPV, IRR, Payback, and the VAN/K0 ratio. Following analysis, it is confirmed that thi s cropping system is a solid investment with high profitability,contributing to job creation and sustainable development through water savings and inputreuse.
