The Benefits of PVC NFT System for Sustainable and Efficient Indoor Farming
The world's population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, and this has resulted in a significant increase in demand for food production. With the decline of arable land and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, indoor farming has become a viable option for sustainable agriculture. Indoor farming techniques such as hydroponics and aquaponics have been gaining popularity in recent years, and one particular system that has proven to be both sustainable and efficient is the PVC NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) system. The PVC NFT system is a hydroponic system that involves growing plants in a thin film of nutrient-rich water flowing through channels made from PVC pipes. These pipes, referred to as NFT grow channels, have a slight slope that allows the nutrient solution to flow from the top of the channel to the bottom, where it is recirculated back to the nutrient reservoir. The plants are placed in net cups or grow baskets, and their roots dangle in the nutrient solution
