The nutrient film technique (NFT) is a hydroponic growing system that delivers nutrients directly to plant roots through a continuous flow of nutrient-rich water. Farmers can benefit from using NFT to grow crops in controlled environments, reducing the need for soil and improving resource efficiency. This technique allows for precise control of nutrient delivery, leading to faster growth rates, higher yields, and improved crop quality. Implementing NFT systems supports sustainable and innovative farming practices.
