Did you know that 2.5% of the water on our entire planet is fresh and 70% of that is frozen in ice caps? Less than 1% of the world’s fresh water is available to humans and we use 70% of that water for irrigating crops (rather poorly). *WaterAid International 2004
At the current rate of agricultural and urban fresh water abuse, as well as ground water pollution and fertilizer runoff, fresh water is going to get scarce. Water will need to be conserved, recycled and recirculated at a local level. When coupled with the increasing cost of ‘food miles’, it makes economic and environmental sense to grow food locally with minimal water.
Hydroponics, which literally means water-working, is one of the most valuable techniques in agriculture ever to be developed. Why? It uses 1/10 the water and 1/10 the space compared to traditional farming. Plus the nutritional quality and safety of hydroponically-grown produce is far superior to industrial produce, whether conventional or organic.
Look inside and learn how American Hydroponics has taken an efficient technique (hydroponics) and perfected it with decades of worldwide experience, unparalleled grower support, and a steadfast commitment to Conserve, Recycle and Recirculate.
