Reported byHappy Eco News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
INMED South Africa's aquaponics systems have reached more than 158,000 people across schools, farms, and townships, using up to 90% less water than conventional agriculture while helping smallholder farmers and drawing younger generations back to farming in a country where the average farmer age is 62.
The article does not specify percentages of participants who have sustained aquaponics enterprises long-term, or detailed outcomes for all 158,000 people reached.
