Ecology the study of "All togetherness of everything" or "the interdependence of plants, animals and their environment is the basis of ecology". Ecological accountability and sustainable living are a vital part of living in the 21st Century, and therefore it is important to include these ideas into education of the adults of the future.
Exploring Hydroponics from an ecological starting point enables us to encompass many areas of the National Curriculum. It helps children and young people to form an integrated understanding of how hydroponics can contribute to the stabilisation of the world ecosystems. In particular it can show how the developing world can be taught to use hydroponics to enable them to become self sufficient.
We would be asking in return a commitment to the Hydroponics4Life project. Our long term aim is to work to introduce Hydroponics and Aquaponics into as many places as possible in the developing world and integrate these new techniques with local and traditional farming methods. Alongside using our expertise to investigate the possibility of developing a Hydroponic or Aquaponic feed that can be produced from local natural resources and waste products enabling the orphanages, schools and similar institutions to become more self sufficient.
We hope by teaching the children new growing techniques enabling them to become self sufficient and sustain themselves and their families for the future and passing on the knowledge to others in their communities.
