My Aquafarm: an educational program about aquaponics for Sharjah Youth Centers kids

Eedama handled 4 series of 4 workshop for the children of Sharjah Youth Centers, in which they learned about Aquaponics and how the fishes depend on the plants to clean the water while the plants depend on the fishes to grow as they absorb the nitrogen transformed from fish feces by bacteria. The workshop also involved the topic of organic farming and the concept of reduce, reuse, recycle. In addition the children went in a field trip to the Aquaponics farm in Al Dhaid.
