Show transcript
Hydroponics uses nutrient rich water to grow plants without soil.
Aquaponics uses water from fish farming to nourish plants.
They require fewer inputs: no soil, minimal water, less chemicals and produce higher yields than traditional farming.
In the Zaatari refugee camp, aquaponics provided over 70% increase in fresh food for farmers.
Hydro and aquaponics do have high setup costs, energy demands, and technical complexity, which can limit accessibility.
