Bradford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/06/2017 -- Obese people will now be Denied Surgery for 12 months unless they lose weight following a decision made by the Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).

The approved move is massively significant as NHS bosses had previously ordered the measures were put on hold following a public Outcry but have now given it the go ahead from January onwards.

Their backing of the move means that health chiefs in other parts of the country are free to put similar restrictions in play.

However, Some people do not agree with the new rules and believe that if overweight people are being targeted now where will the rationing decisions fall next? Surgery on overweight people and smokers has increased risks long term to the patient which are nothing new, and these risks are leaving the NHS with a potential financial black hole along with various factors.

It is vital that those people refused surgery should receive help to lose the weight they need to improve their lives and be granted surgery in 12 months. Plans to introduce healthy eating and a well-balanced diet along with basic exercise should be all it takes to make a difference. But will this be implemented? A spokesperson for Bradford Hydroponics made a comment on the situation saying, "Introducing regular fruit and veg into a person's diet to replace sugary foods has a massive impact on their health and wellbeing. Quite often growing these plants yourself gives you a great sense of satisfaction when you come to eating them, and for many people that may be home bound with illness or health problems. Growing these vegetables can give them something to do during their days".

Bradford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/21/2016 -- Hydroponic growing is a system or method of food production which involves growing plants under artificial light in a nutrient rich, water based solution without the need for soil. Up until recent times, hydroponics has been an uncommon and somewhat niche method for the production of food.

Poverty alleviation

In a world where poverty is on the increase, more sustainable methods of food production are rapidly needed to alleviate starvation across third and developing world countries. The technical giant Fujitsu has developed a process to produce low-potassium lettuce and spinach at its Aizu Wakamatsu factory in Japan by applying cloud based analytics to the hydroponic process. The operation takes place in a modified room formerly used for semiconductor production.

What are the benefits of Hydroponic production?

Efficient production – more food can be grown in less space without need for soil
Set up anywhere – artificial lighting means the grow can take place in any location
This is a sustainable method for an ever increasing global population
Yields can be up to 10 times more than from other growing methods
Pollution from pesticides and herbicides can be controlled and contained
Local food production reduces costs and helps maintain quality

The production process is controlled remotely via Fujitsu's cloud platform Akisai. Data is stored and analysed from sensors within the greenhouse which facilitates the ventilation fans, heating and other equipment used in production.

A spokesperson for Bradford Hydroponics said "It's absolutely incredible that a technological company has highlighted the unique benefits of hydroponic growing to a wide audience, whilst also proving a sustainable and cost effective production method. We can only hope that more people follow suit worldwide to seriously consider hydroponics on a mass scale."

Bradford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/22/2016 -- There are positive predictions for the future of the hydroponics industry, as recent reports have revealed an estimated worth of 395.2 million by 2020. This is a significant increase from its current level and suggests that it is a productive and potentially profitable industry to be part of. This positive prediction is expected to be accompanied by greater customer interest in buying hydroponic products for themselves; with many looking for the best deals as more services become available and take advantage of the optimistic climate.

Hydroponics is an agricultural technique involving technical equipment – allowing plants to grow without soil and instead uses a nutrient solution. It has a number of factors of efficiency, thought to be one of the major reasons why such levels of growth are expected; for example it can be resource-light and carefully engineered to allow for higher yields. With these advantages and growing positive recognition of the process – especially as a method of more sustainable agriculture – the time seems ripe to get involved.

Bradford Hydroponics is a key provider of hydroponics equipment, and this includes providing for commercial customers. A spokesperson had this to say:

"Expectations of big industry worth by 2020 really highlights the contemporary importance of hydroponics – it is a flourishing method of agriculture. As part of this, customers deserve to feel the benefit – so having access to great value, highly efficient equipment to try it themselves matters. That is what we are proud to provide, as well as an extensive selection of related products and services."

Bradford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2016 -- A recent report in the prominent online publication TechCrunch has revealed big things for the hydroponics industry; that it is at the forefront of current and future job creation, as well as managing resources – such as water – more sustainably. This news comes in light of the increasing use of hydroponics systems on an international level; the process of growing crops in a mineral solution under managed conditions. The report shows that rather than conventional farming, machine-intensive and resource-heavy, hydroponics is more streamlined and involves up to a 90% reduction in water usage compared to other farming methods.

A number of facilities using hydroponics are already in place in the UK; the development of technologies in this area also driving jobs and investment. Some people even use indoor systems to grow their own crops – especially because of the factor of increased sustainability. Saving on water and soil allows for a much more cost-effective process compared to conventional farming, hence why hydroponics is tipped as an area to expect major growth in 2016.

A prime example of a hydroponics provider and frequent commentator on industry news is Bradford Hydroponics.

A spokesperson had this to say:

"Recent reports in popular media now emphasize the benefits of hydroponics, especially when compared to conventional farming. Whether you are a commercial grower or have a personal grow project, the proven sustainability of hydroponics makes it a method surely worth considering. Some people are even tipping it as the future of food provision. That is why we offer a wide range of products here at Bradford Hydroponics, with our grow tent kits proving especially popular."

Bradford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2016 -- Recent reports have drawn attention to a number of farm-to-table initiatives in the US, involving hydroponics, which are expected to have big-scale implications, including in the UK. Most recent advancements include a horticulture club at Nashoba Tech School using hydroponics systems to provide fresh food for a restaurant. The project started in November and since then, chefs have been using crops such as basil, sage, swiss chard and bok choy grown hydroponically as part of the project. There is growing interest in this area and accordingly in the UK, more businesses as well as homeowners are set to look to hydroponics as a way of growing and eating their own produce.

The focus on Nashoba Tech School comes in light of their food-growing and catering program called 'Project Sprout' which is overseen by Axopia Harvest – a company which seeks to establish sustainable food programmes with schools. This highlights that hydroponics is an important method of potentially sustainable growth; as it can use less resources and is soil-light compared to conventional growing. Instead it means that growth can be carried out indoors using nutrient solutions and a carefully controlled environment.

It is the incorporation of hydroponics into farm-to-table initiatives especially which is having big implications. The prospect of being able to grow and cook fresh ingredients all on one site is not just a potentially efficient idea for schools but also restaurants and homeowners too. Industry expert and prime provider of hydroponics equipment, Bradford Hydroponics was quick to comment on this and reflect on the implications in the UK:

"The school example in the US shows that hydroponics is a method capable of supporting other services, such as providing and serving food. Increasing numbers of people involved in hospitality and catering are looking to hydroponics as a way to provide sustainable and fresh food in their establishments. That's why we're proud to offer a range of hydroponics equipment; including grow tents to get people started."

Bradford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/17/2015 -- A recent study has shown that tending plants indoors may allow for greater feelings of positivity and self-control in cancer patients. Although there are already links between interaction with nature and health, the implication that this is indoors highlights an important cultural shift. Now people can engage with whole miniature gardens in the comfort of the indoors; thanks to methods such as hydroponics. Growing in this way allows people to tend a wide variety of plants through an efficient method which can be highly rewarding.

Researchers at the University of Wales Trinity St David, led by Dr Ceri Phelps, found that accessible, sheltered indoor gardening tasks can significantly elevate the mood of individuals – even those with serious terminal conditions. It is in turn anticipated that hydroponics systems are set to play a big role in introducing efficient indoor gardening that people can enjoy all year-round.

Unlike the weather exposure and uncertainty of growing conditions in British gardens, hydroponics promotes positivity through its high yield rates and generally better blooms. The method involves plants being grown through a nutrient solution, rather than soil –minimizing waste too. These are factors of positivity and keen to comment on this was Bradford Hydroponics, an expert in the industry:

"The study highlights a link between indoor gardening and improved mood amongst cancer patients – which is of course a great positive. We believe that hydroponics systems offer the ultimate method of indoor gardening to deliver even more optimism – as not only does it avoid the negatives of mess typically associated with gardening, but allows for excellent results. This is a positivity all can be part of."

Bradford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/25/2015 -- An ancient Australian plant could hold the secret for growing plants in space. The plant in question, Nicotiana Benthamiana has survived in the wild for nearly 750,000 years in all weathers, including serious drought conditions. The formula of the plant means it has the ability to germinate and grow quickly, flower and seed even after a little amount of rainfall. These properties – especially the ability of utilising oly small amounts of resources– have parallels with hydroponic growth systems. Hydroponics uses small amounts of water and no soil to deliver maximum nutritional benefit to plants.

The plant itself has adapted for survival and it's this biological make-up that is what makes it appealing for growth in space. It is expected to be especially compatible with hydroponics systems. With sterile conditions provided, plants that could grow like this could be grown in space and provide food for astronauts.

Bradford Hydroponics are specialists in providing equipment for growing plants in sterile conditions. They have worked for many years, growing plants without soil through hydroponics systems. As experts in the field, they are enthused about the growth opportunities offered by plants such as the Australian variety.

About us:

A spokesperson for the company was keen to comment on the news and said: "Finding new ways to grow plants in space is amazing. Technology is making more and more advances, already improving food production and growth in the UK. The fact that a plant has been found which can extend the improvements to space is incredible, and that this is through hydroponics, even better."

Bradford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/29/2015 -- According to a recently conducted professional study, between 20-30% more plant growth can be achieved when vegetation is grown using hydroponic systems rather than conventional soil cultivation methods. Hydroponics is an innovative method of growing plants, which rather than using a solid base, uses water and a nutrient solution. Therefore not only is there a key benefit in hydroponics because it allows for more growth, but its use of solution rather than soil can save space and resource constraints – making it a highly efficient choice. It is anticipated that the method will rise in commercial as well as personal popularity over the coming years.

The search for increased efficiency in growing and farming is continuous, and hydroponics is set to play a key role. It is a method which streamlines the growing process as well as allowing for larger yields. This is of great potential benefit to developing countries with poor soils, such as in Africa.

Hydroponics is not only playing a role in commercial farming, but it is seeing a rise in domestic use too. It allows keen growers, especially of fruit and vegetables to turn their hand to bumper crops all year round. The controlled nature of hydroponics, which involves special light and nutrient conditions, allows for plants to be grown out of season and maintained well.

Eager to comment on the rising popularity and benefit of hydroponics is Bradford Hydroponics. The company is a prominent name in the industry ad a spokesperson had this to say:

"The released statistics regarding improved growth for the hydroponic method adds to the already strong list of benefits associated with the process. In the busy modern world with increasing food demands, it is a highly convenient way to grow. That is why we take pride in providing an extensive range of equipment at affordable prices."

Bradford, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2015 -- According to a recently released online report, the value of the smart greenhouse market is set to grow significantly by 2020. The estimated value of the market by this date is set to reach more than $1.2 billion, and a key assumed reason for this increase is due to hydroponics. The hydroponic method involves growing without soil and instead using an alternate grow medium – typically a nutrient solution – in order to produce big-yield vegetation growth. This is a highly popular method used in greenhouses and therefore increases show growers turning to these innovative advances in technology in order to boost crop yields.

Yet the link between smart greenhouse market increase and hydroponics also suggests that hydroponics will be set to be making big progresses in the world of domestic growing. After all, the general public may want to have the same efficient rates of growth in their own projects – and this is available without the space and cost complications of a greenhouse.

Bringing the best of technologically-advanced effective growth to the people is Bradford Hydroponics. They are recognised experts in a range of hydroponic equipment, including kits and nutrients.

A spokesperson from the company had this to say:

"The positive predictions in the smart greenhouse market mean positivity for hydroponics too. The statistic is so positive as shows increased interest in sustainable methods of growing. Whilst Smart greenhouses may be capable of doing this for big industries, they typically involve hydroponic methods inside. For those who do not have the time or money for a greenhouse furthermore, hydroponics systems can be sustained separately so it is an option for commercial as well as domestic use."
