ABOUT hydroponics
Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops using soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics in vertically stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimise plant growth with nutrients, lighting and pH. Vertical farming is perfect for high density living areas or to save space.

Hydroponics is simply described as growing plants without soil. Hydroponics allows you to control more of the variables including pH levels, lighting and nutrients for optimal plant growth and produce yields. Water is the main method of delivering the nutrients to the plant’s roots, combined with growing media to help support the plant. Hydroponically grown plants dip their roots directly into nutrient-rich solutions, so plants get more of what they need much faster and easier. Hydroponic farming can be used in locations where soil conditions are too poor to support farming, or where space is limited. It can be done anytime and anywhere!

Composting
PARTNERSHIP
​
​
We produce significant amounts of food waste every day. Nevertheless, unfortunately, it often ends up in landfills, where it does not break down properly, rotting and producing methane – a harmful greenhouse gas 25x more potent than carbon dioxide. That is terrible news for the environment, directly impacting climate change.
​
On average, a school with 300 students can generate 34kg of waste a week, and this is just taking into account classroom breaks. We want to invite teachers and students to learn how to properly compost their food waste and help cut climate change from the curriculum with this partnership.
