I agree that hydroponics is an efficient way of growing crops and that it is much better than the traditional methods, especially in Singapore with such limited amount of space. I think that another benefit of using hydroponics is that it is safe from diseases and pests. I also agree that during our experiment when we left our boxes in school, perhaps some shelves could be installed specially for the hydroponics boxes (maybe our own little hydroponics garden? :D). Besides learning about agriculture and high-tech farming, we can grow our crops and even sell them in the canteen. The growing of the crops is quite fast.
However, although I also feel that it should be implemented all over the world, it is quite difficult as high-tech farming requires a lot of money. Singapore has the means to practice high-tech farming, but other countries might not be able to do so (especially in countries experiencing food shortage, which are the countries that need high-tech farming the most).
I also enjoyed the hydroponics project (:
