Aquaponics- a smart way to farm in cities
Aquaponics is an urban farming method where no soil is used for cultivation of plants. Rather, the plants are based in water. Fish are introduced in this water, they are fed and their excreta fertilise the plants. You can get in-depth details about its functions in the online workshop.
