    Excerpt
    The Department of Agriculture (DA) is bringing urban garde­ning closer to homes as it formally launched its urban aquaponics program early this week, which will provide interested municipalities with the proper equipment to start an integra­ted fish and vegetable garden in their respective communities. Its attached agency, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aqua­tic Resources (BFAR), said it was ready to distribute 15 small-scale units, 10 large-scale fiberglass units and 50 large-scale canvas units for urban aquaponics to urban communities within Metro Manila to make food production more sustainable especially with the persistence of the new coronavirus pandemic. Hydroponics is a techno­logy that allows fish and vege­tables to grow together in an integrated system.
