[FrontPageAfrica] Monrovia -- HILA (Heritage International Leadership Academy) launched the first functional aquaponics project in the country on Wednesday, December 15th. Aquaponics is a combination of hydroponics (growing plants in water) and fish farming that produces year-round crops at a much faster rate than regular farming. A sustainable mode of farming, it uses no pesticides eliminating carbon emissions which positively affects climate change.
