Green Walls
Green walls are a rapidly developing sector of horticultural technology; particularly for urban horticulture. In Singapore for instance, there is now legislation requiring developers to build green walls. In many other big cities around the globe, the use of green wall technology has become an important component of government environmental management.
Hydroponic technologies are very appropriate for use in green walls. Even non hydroponic green walls still utilize many of the same technologies as what have been developed for hydroponics.
