Many of us may not realise that hydroponics is not a modern invention – growing plants without soil sounds rather ingenious after all. But it all started a very long time ago, during the last Babylonian empire, where Nebuchadnezzar’s ‘hanging gardens’ (or terraces) became renowned as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Although hydroponics is not a contemporary innovation, it is only since the 1930s that large crops have begun to be grown by this method. The plants are cultivated in solutions of mineral salts – giving hydroponics its other name: aquaculture. Aquaculture involves the culture of aquatic organisms (such as crustaceans and fish) for commercial purposes under partly controlled conditions.

Could this mean that we could eventually become less reliant on soil to grow our food, and, paradoxically, less reliant on water too? This is because the water used in hydroponics can be re-used, and the overall quantity of water utilised is less than would be needed to irrigate soil-grown crops.
