Scadding Court Community Centre (SCCC) just introduced emerging method of sustainable urban agriculture, aquaponics, which promises to improve food security, provide valuable education and training, and contribute to socio-economic development within the community. Aquaponics is a closed-loop system in which plants and fish are grown together in a mutually beneficial relationship. The system has many benefits: compared to soil-based agriculture, it has significantly lower water usage rates, it provides greater control over conditions, and it is by nature free of any harmful products like pesticides.
