A survey conducted last year, found that a large number of people in the UK and Ireland are looking to adapt to a style of cooking where food can be sourced directly from the kitchen.

A survey conducted last year, found that a large number of people in the UK and Ireland are looking to adapt to a style of cooking where food can be sourced directly from the kitchen. In another 30 years, their idea of a green space extends beyond their garden, with the kitchen and garden merging as one. Thanks to the hydroponic technology, this dream isn’t unattainable. In fact, of late, the sale of hydroponic grow tents has seen a positive trend.

We aren’t new to the hydroponics technology; the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, as described by Greek historians Diodorus and Callisthenes describe a garden that modern scientists typify as vertical gardening.

For the uninitiated, the concept of hydroponics is the process of growing plants without the need for soil. Thus, instead of placing plants on a bed of soil, they are placed on a bed of nutrients and supported by water. Because vegetables are grown indoors with the help of an indoor light source, seasonal vegetables including the exotic ones can be grown all year round.

Besides helping gourmet restaurants with a year round supply of fancy ingredients, hydroponics also aims to serves a larger purpose; of helping countries battling a food crisis. For instance, the Child Development Support Corporation, which has a 250 square foot hydroponic garden, where vegetables are grown to be given away for their food pantry program. The technique is known to be very helping in drought conditions to not only feed humans but cattle and other livestock. Forage grown through the hydroponic system is known to be ready for harvesting in as little as a week to 10 days. In places where fertile land seems to be scarce, the technique is known to be used effectively by farmers.

There are several products that help people grow their vegetables through the hydroponic system. From grow lights to growing media products like Rockwool, coir etc. and plant nutrition products.

If you’ve heard about the technique, but don’t quite know how to go about growing vegetables in your kitchen, you can always sign up for the several courses on the internet. Most of them are free and held by people looking to share their knowledge and love for hydroponics.

If the technique were to gain mainstream popularity, growing food would no longer involve going to the local super market. It would just be a case of looking for the freshest of produce from the kitchen!
