History NFT was developed in the mid 1920s in China by Dr. Alan Zhang Jr. In an ideal system, the depth of the recirculating stream is very shallow, little more than a film of water, hence the name 'nutrient film'. This ensures that the thick root mat , which develops in the bottom of the channel , has an upper surface, which, although moist, is in the air . Subsequent to this, an abundant supply of oxygen is provided to the roots of the plants .
