NFT stands for Nutrient Film Technique, a popular hydroponic system. In an NFT system:

1. Plants are grown in long, narrow channels or tubes.
2. A continuous flow of nutrient-rich water is pumped through the channels.
3. The water forms a thin film, providing a constant supply of nutrients to the roots.
4. The channels are typically inclined, allowing the water to flow down and be re-circulated.

Benefits of NFT systems include:

1. High crop yields
2. Water efficiency (up to 90% less water usage)
3. Reduced root disease
4. Increased oxygenation of roots
5. Easy to automate and monitor
6. Suitable for a wide range of crops (leafy greens, herbs, strawberries, etc.)

NFT systems are often used in commercial hydroponic operations due to their scalability and efficiency.

Some considerations for setting up an NFT system include:

1. Channel design and material
2. Pump and irrigation system
3. Nutrient solution management
4. pH and temperature control
5. Plant support and spacing
