Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/17/2015 -- UK hydroponics company, One Stop Grow Shop, have recently commented on how the College of Agriculture, Science and Education (CASE) have tackled the drought in Jamaica with the use of hydroponics.

CASE has been making an aggressive push with hydroponics, convincing farmers to adopt and utilise hydroponics as a responsive alternative to any droughts that may occur. They are also advertising how cost effective they can be, and had a system on display at the Denbigh Agricultural, Industrial and Food Show, to help promote the growing method.

The uptake has started to rise, and people throughout Jamaica are starting to see the benefits, with transportable, cost cutting devices which take up little space popping up around farm and urban areas throughout the country.

Often commenting on industry news, a spokesperson for One Stop Grow Shop said, 'Hydroponics have been proven time and time again to be an effective solution when it comes to the problem of droughts throughout the world, and more and more countries are starting to use this method of growing to maintain a high level of produce. It's a great system which is easy for anyone to get to grips with, and a lifesaver for many.

It even allows you to easily home grow your own fruit and veg, and at One Stop Grow Shop we sell the necessary equipment to get you started. Choose one of our starter kits and you'll have everything you need, come rain or shine!'

Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/14/2015 -- A recent report by the Daily Mail has highlighted the significant role hydroponic cultivation is playing in the UK's fruit and vegetable growth for commercial use. With an expected 75,000 tonnes of British-grown strawberries expected to be purchased just over the course of summer – it is anticipated that hydroponics will be an essential method underlying such a significant crop. The hydroponic technique is the growing of plants with water and mineral cultures, rather than soil. In these controlled conditions, yields can increase significantly and the process is recognized as highly efficient as well as sustainable. Many of the strawberries grown in the UK are incorporated into large grass greenhouses, with hydroponics enabling them to grow downwards from a height, enabling easy picking.

It is not only strawberries which benefit from hydroponics either. With three more of these hydroponic mass greenhouses expected to be built in the next year, the process is already estimated to provide approximately 225 million tomatoes, 13 million cucumbers and 16 million peppers every year. In turn, it could be seen as a method in which there is significant interest in expanding further.

About One Stop Grow Shop
One Stop Grow Shop is a prime example of a provider of a range of hydroponics equipment, including complete kits and nutrients – allowing people to embrace the process at home. They are also frequent commentators in industry news and were quick to reflect on the released figures.

"The figures highlight that hydroponics is an efficient method responsible for a significant amount of our fruit and vegetable output" A spokesperson said " We believe this is brilliant – as it is a method which allows people to grow and buy British, improving sustainability and reduces the need to rely on foreign imports. The ability to provide plants with the optimum conditions for growth, all year round, means that this form of fruit and vegetable growing will not be limited by weather or season either. In turn, it could be considered constructive that this is a process to continue. After all, hydroponics is a highly efficient method, the nutrients can be adapted according to conditions and it is a highly clean way of promoting massive yields in regards to fruit, vegetables and plants. We would urge all those who want to find out more, to visit our website. It is a great time to get involved.

Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/20/2015 -- Earth Day is a global event which seeks to celebrate ethical and green lifestyles including actions such as recycling, planting and so on. Texas recently held their own Earth Day where hydroponics were championed as the future of farming and food production – a trend which is also expanding in the UK. As urban food production becomes increasingly popular thanks to the rapid rise in population growth, many innovative thinkers are getting together to devise new and brilliant ways of serving the needs of humans in the most effective ways.

One of the efficient methods and solutions they have come up with is the use of hydroponics. It poses a creative and low cost solution for an overpopulated planet which is increasingly worried about food security.

Hydroponics is essentially a way to grow food in urban areas without the need for tilling and toiling in squares of land. It is the method used to grow plants, vegetables and fruits in water. It is truly revolutionary and is catching on around the globe with the UN estimating that 800 million people carry out urban farming worldwide. As people move closer to the cities and urban spaces become more crowded, hydroponics is offering a way to be able to remain self-sufficient and grow your own food.

About One Stop Grow Shop
One Stop Grow Shop are one of the UK's leading suppliers of hydroponics equipment and accessories. Providing an exceptional customer service fuelled by an evident zeal in their work. They are also regular commentators on industry news and a spokesperson had this to say, 'We are so excited by the central position that hydroponics has taken centre stage at Earth Day Texas. We've seen it becoming an increasing trend in the UK, and anticipate it will be the same worldwide. Of course, everyone knows that healthy, ethical and affordable sourcing of food is the way forward. And this simply follows in these trends. We invite anyone who wishes to discuss their home growing hydroponics options, to feel free to contact us for further information.'

Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/19/2015 -- A commercial hydroponic garden based inside a downtown warehouse is feeding diners in Omaha, in the US. The enterprise began as an experiment in a basement and grew quickly to become a business which supplies fresh food to a number of surrounding restaurants. The gardeners responsible for the growth of the herbs and vegetables are surprised at the rapid growth of what started out as a hobby, and have plans to expand in the future.

Many are reminded of the underground vegetable gardens growing in tunnels in London and other parts of the UK. Hydroponics involves the growth of plants in mineral nutrients in water – without soil.

The news is the latest in a wave of stories reporting the conversion of urban spaces for the purposes of food growth and indoor farming. As population centres become more urbanized and crowded, room for the growth of food becomes scarce or uncontrollable. This is why many have turned to hydroponic and urban farming in order to gain better control over what they ingest. In addition to this, the venture is a considerably cheaper and healthier alternative to supermarket foods.

About One Stop Grow Shop
One Stop Grow Shop are the UK's leading online suppliers of award-winning hydroponic equipment and supplies and pride themselves on their ability to provide this to 90% of the European continent as well as all areas of Britain. Being regular commentators on industry news, a spokesperson had this to say: 'We are excited by the rapid developments in hydroponics and urban farming over the last few years. With the advent of the internet and the global recession, many have used this as a great opportunity to take the most crucial parts of their lives into their own hands. What can be more important than food? What is more interesting is that these personal gardens are now benefiting the community by supplying local food outlets and restaurants. We think this is a fascinating development and encourage anyone interested to contact us for any advice about this area, or for more information about the right equipment and services. We believe that a large part of the success of any endeavor based on hydroponics is high quality equipment and knowledge.'

Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/15/2015 -- The Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations reports that approximately 800 million people worldwide now practice urban agriculture. The implications of this astounding figure are that an estimated 15-20 percent of the world's food is currently being produced using urban farming methods, which regularly employ techniques such as hydroponics. And this number is set to rise.

Hydroponic systems or 'vertical farms',can assist in alleviating the global food crisis by contributing to food security in a world which is becoming increasingly volatile due to the effects of climate change. Recent reports of urban spaces being used for hydroponics, such as the sides of car parks in Wyoming to contemporary office spaces in rural Guanajuato in central Mexico, have shed light on the potential of urban agriculture to remake derelict or contemporary urban spaces with positive benefits. Vertical farms aim to avoid the problems inherent in growing food in remote locations which increase the risk of disease and can contribute heavily to toxic carbon emissions. The populations of overpopulated areas such as cities can benefit hugely from such developments which are generally safer and more environmentally friendly.

A spokesperson for hydroponics specialists, One Stop Grow Shop said, 'A fifth of the world's food being produced using urban farming methods is an astonishing figure. We anticipate this number will increase as the world continues to develop and become more urbanized and people learn how to use their own urban farming or hydroponics kits. We are pleasantly surprised by the rapid growth of hydroponics over the last decade or so. It's a practice which has been around for centuries, and is quite established within the farming community. But to see it being used in this manner on a global scale to deal with huge problems such as world food security is very encouraging.'

Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/19/2015 -- Leading UK hydroponics suppliers, One Stop Grow Shop, have recently commented on the revelation that famous actor Shia LaBeouf actively uses hydroponics, along with a range of other gardening methods as one of his key interests and hobbies.

Shia LaBeouf was recently witnessed having a go at logging, carrying cut logs of wood, which is one of the outdoor activities he likes to be involved with outside of acting. Before being sighted logging, he was earlier spotted buying hydroponics equipment from a store in California, and he has brought to light his love of the controlled soil free growing method.

Shia LaBeouf said in 2012, 'Me and my girlfriend are getting ready to build an aquaponics farm up in Cambria. Aquaponics is the future, dude. Aquaculture is the study of fish, and then hydroponics is the study of plants growing without soil. So when you marry those two things you wind up with an ecosystem.' And the recent ventures and sightings further display his love for nature and farming.

Often commenting on hydroponics related news, a spokesperson for One Stop Grow Shop said, 'You know something has hit the big time when you have well renowned celebrities wearing or using it, and you can't get much bigger than Shia LaBeouf, star of the Transformers films and the recent dramatic war movie, Fury.

LaBeouf is a big fan of hydroponics, thanks to the ease of growing plants, fruits and vegetables, along with the enhancements you can perform via nutrients, boosters and controlled temperatures and light. It's easy for anyone to take up as a hobby and gain great results, and at One Stop Grow Shop we offer start kits, along with the best hydroponics equipment for those who are no longer beginners. At the prices we offer our products at, it means anyone can have a go at growing the biggest and juicy fruit and veg possible!'

Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/24/2015 -- UK hydroponic company, One Stop Grow Shop, have recently commented on the news that hydroponics have seen a massive uptake in Kenya, helping create greater produce for the country.

A farmer from Limuru town in Kenya, Janet Kananu, has recently revealed how hydroponics have helped farmers in the area immensely thanks to the training courses offered on the growth method from the NGO. It has helped keep growth levels high in spite of the dry spell the country has been experiencing for several years, thanks to hydroponics needed far less water than traditional growing.

Kananu said, 'This is our silver lining. If we all turn to hydroponics, we could increase our yield tenfold.' Hydroponics agriculture has given me an opportunity to feed my family and my animals by increasing my overall yield.'

The managing director of the Center for Appropriate Technologies, KirogoMwangi, has been helping farmers obtain the equipment needed, and hydroponics has gained a foothold in Kenya thanks to the aid offered.

Mwangi said, 'We assist farmers with technologies that we bring from the western world and make them appropriate for Africa. We recommend this system to many of the farmers who to us for training.'

The method has allowed Kenyan farmers to avoid soil borne diseases, and has been used for growing fodder for livestock and vegetables for human consumption. It also makes it easier for the farmers as no tilling or weeding is necessary to set the systems up in place.

Often commenting on industry news, a spokesperson for One Stop Grow Shop said, 'The uptake in hydroponics is taking place across the world, and stories such as this one show just how much of an impact hydroponics has had on the world farming and gardening landscape.

Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/31/2015 -- The upcoming Global Forum for Innovations in agriculture is a key indicator of the changing nature of cultivation – both on commercial and domestic levels. With over 25 set discussion schedules, a central element of the event is to be led by Dr Mike Nichols, who is a Practical Hydroponics and Greenhouses' feature writer as well as a senior horticulture journalist.

This is part of expert predictions that hydroponics is to play an increasingly substantial role in the development of agriculture and effective food production. With over 250 suppliers of sustainable gardening and agricultural developments, the GFIA infers that hydroponics are set to grow further in2015. This had led to much positive comment from experts such as One Stop Grow Shop.

That there are over 250 current suppliers working towards sustainable agriculture with agriculture at the forefront, implies that it is to play a significant role in the 2015 economy and trends of cultivation. According to experts. With recent progress in this field can be combined with the statistic that through hydroponics, up to 95% less water and up to 90% less land is used than conventional agriculture methods. In turn, this suggests that more crops can be grown in an efficient manner.

One Stop Grow Shop, who are specialists in hydroponics and provision, as well as frequent commentators upon sustainable agriculture have been quick to respond to the positive trend. "The growing status of hydroponics in world agriculture is essential" a spokesperson said "Not only is hydroponics the way forwards on a domestic scale, but also on larger level where soil irrigation and even space limitation are becoming pressing problems.

As a company with year so experience in hydroponics provision, we want to extend our services as well as this innovative method of farming to as many as possible. With the possibilities it incorporates to grow organic, without soil and therefore saving on resources, this offers an excellent way forward. We have perfected the hydroponic system of growing with nutrient solution in water, and have optimism in the provision of this method on both a domestic and commercial scale.
