Students at Abingdon have upcycled guttering and constructed stands in their Product Design lessons to create their own hydroponics system! This eco efficient way of growing plants allows water to be used more sparingly and, because the plants are grown vertically, means more can be produced over the same area. Hydroponics is likely to play a significant role in helping to feed the population in the future, especially with increasing demands on the land and the students are really keen to learn more about it.
