Low-cost Hydroponics?
Published on by kilari prasanna kumar, B.Sc.Agriculture in Technology
Can anyone share details on low-cost hydroponics farming and suitable crops and varieties for cultivation?
How much does setting up the technology cost and how can I most reduce the costs of production while maintaining the quality?

There is a porject gaining momentum in the Sahara desert in Southern Algeria. The people using the hydroponic system are growing barley (no need for nutrients) within 7 days to feed their livestock (http://innovation.wfp.org/project/hydro-sahrawi-algeria)

Hydroponics is great but adding fish increases food, taste and income potential. Depending on your scope and location costs can be very manageable. See Aquatechfood@yahoo.com for more information
