Does thinking of food laced with toxic pesticides and synthetic compounds kill your appetite? That's what industrial food production has brought to our tables - food that is hampering our health and creating havoc with the environment. It's time to make an informed decision and switch to organic and eco-friendly food options. Increased awareness about the benefits of organic food has already escalated consumer demand not only in the west but also in the worldwide marketplace.

Organic food is grown using naturally occurring nutrients and substances without any synthetic additives. Food grown organically has health benefits and is eco-friendly as well. Your choice to eat organic will affect the environment, yourself as well as the farmers positively as they will not have to expose themselves to toxic chemicals. Hydroponic growers can strike gold by growing organic foods in their hydroponic grow rooms and satisfying the global demand with their huge hydroponic yields.
If you are an organic food enthusiast or an organic grower but a newbie to the topic of hydroponics, simply put hydroponics is nothing but growing plants without soil. Nutrients are provided to plants through nutrient formulas developed especially for the purpose. If the plants need anchorage, various non-soil growing media like perlite, clay pebbles, coco-coir, etc. can be used to provide support. You can study hydroponics grow rooms, growing techniques, etc. and when you are confident, you can simply transplant your soil grown plants to ahydroponic grow room and grow them with organic hydroponic nutrient formulas and other products. You simply have to loosen up the soil around your organic plants, wash them with cold water and then place them in yourhydroponic grow rooms.
Hydroponics can help satiate the ever increasing demand for organic food because land agriculture cannot promise the same yields that hydroponic growing can. Hydroponic growing needs less land and water than usual land agriculture for the same amount of yield. Your yields are better when you are not growing the plants in soil. Rodents and pests cannot attack them as easily as it can happen in land based agriculture.
Professional growers can grow organic food in their hydroponic grow rooms. If you are trying your hand at growing your own herbs, vegetables and condiments, why not create your own small organic hydroponic garden. Eating good organic food that you've grown yourself lovingly will give you a lot of pleasure and satisfaction. You'll know what you are taking into your digestive system. And you can be assured that you are getting the most out of your efforts when you choose to grow your organic food in a hydroponic garden instead of growing them in soil.
