-
Pesticide free products through biological pest control.
-
Nutrient solutions may be re-used in other areas such as potted
plants and turf management.
-
Growing mediums can be re-used and recycled.
-
Hydroponic systems use little or no growing medium.
-
More intense cropping technique requires less space.
-
Non-arable land may easily be facilitated.
-
Year round crop production in Canada reduces transportation
of imports and therefore associated solution e.g. fossil fuels.
-
Promotes an overall awareness of our environment.
-
Closed recirculating systems allow the grower control of the
nutrient solution and therefore exactly what nutrients the plants
receive.
-
Varying nutrient formulas to suit different plants at different
stages.
-
Regular nutrient testing ensures all elements are present
in their desired concentrations. Unwanted build ups of undesirable
nutrient concentrations, such as nitrites, can be avoided.
-
Hydroponic plants are more pest resistant.
-
Control over environmental factors translates to a nutritionally
superior, vegetable product.
-
Vine ripened produce eliminates consumption
of artificial ripening agents and pesticides used on imported
produce.
-
Vine ripened produce tastes superior and is
nutritionally sound.
