In aquaponics, water 💧 serves a dual purpose:
1️⃣ Hosting fish 🐟 and growing crops 🌱
2️⃣ Generating two products at once!
The waste from the fish fertilizes the water used to irrigate the plants, and the plants clean the water for the fish. It is a win-win situation!
❌ Food waste has become a habit for many of us. Buying more food than we need at markets, letting fruits & vegetables spoil at home.
We need to always remind ourselves that reducing #foodwaste should be our collective responsibility to combat #zerohunger & #ClimateActionNow 🌾
The sun can be powerful for #agrifood chains in more ways than one! ☀️🌱
