Kota Kinabalu: More growers are realising the value of hydroponics which delivers lush, bountiful harvests of standard quality derived from modern, precision farming that delivers results and are eco-friendly.Through efficient use of space, fertilisers and water, hydroponics may just be what the world needs to counter rising fuel prices, escalating costs of living and global warming.
